Police: Vehicle Crashes After Border Patrol Chase; 4 Held

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — Authorities in Las Cruces say four people have been arrested and a fifth person may remain at large after a vehicle crashed following a pursuit by the Border Patrol.

New Mexico State University Police say the individuals ran onto the Dona Ana Community College campus but were arrested within a few minutes of the Monday morning crash on Interstate 10.

The community college's central campus is located next to both the larger NMSU campus and I-10.

University police say there's no indication that the fifth person who may be at large is either armed or dangerous to the community.

Information on the pursuit wasn't immediately available. A Border Patrol spokesman said he had no information, and the New Mexico State Police didn't immediately respond to an inquiry.
