A Mississippi man will spend a decade in prison for smuggling migrants in a fake delivery truck. State officials say 29-year-old Cezanne Patterson was caught near Del Rio last August driving a delivery truck that appeared to belong to Lowe’s.

Inside the truck, authorities reportedly found 17 migrants crammed inside a false compartment area that was three-feet-wide with no ventilation. Patterson was convicted on multiple charges including human trafficking.
