The suspects at various times admitted to and accused each other of transporting people to and from the house, taking care of the residence and profiting from the human smuggling.One woman, nicknamed "La Flaca," told investigators she had been working two months, took care of renting the stash house, and was paid $5 per person who stayed there. She had $1,200 on her person, all of which she said came from this operation.A man nicknamed "El Tio" said he picked up people from the border and drove them to the stash house. He said he earned $10 for every person he picked up, amassing about $4,500.Border Patrol agents, assisted by Edinburg police officers, conducted a search Monday they said was consensual. Wednesday's complaint, however, does not state anyone gave permission to search the house. Rathmini storager, it says agents, in the process of a consensual conversation with a man at the front door, saw a large number of people moving around inside the house, then entered the residence to "secure all subjects for officer safety reasons."The complaint portrays a hectic scene about 6 p.m. Monday at the house in the 3800 block of West Efrain Street as people suspected of entering the country illegally attempted to flee the scene."Agents could observe, through the opened back door, numerous subjects inside the residence running around frantically," the complaint states. "Agents also observed subjects attempting to exit the residence through the windows."The document also outlines what led investigators to the suspected smugglers.An Edinburg police investigator was parked at a business on Trenton Road just west of Interstate 69C/Expressway 281 when he saw several people exit one vehicle and enter a Ford SUV. The investigator contacted a uniformed officer who performed a traffic stop on the vehicle soon after.jfischler@themonitor.comCopyright: ___ (c)2013 The Monitor (McAllen, Texas) Visit The Monitor (McAllen, Texas) at .themonitor.com Distributed by MCT Information Servicesself storage
