Two additional individuals have been charged in a conspiracy to harbor illegal aliens in Hardin Valley.
A January indictment initially charged 33-year-old Tyler Shane Wells, of Morristown, and 18-year-old Alexander Bonilla-Servin, of Smyrna, with allegedly blocking the entrance to a Hardin Valley construction site with a truck belonging to Bonilla-Servin to keep ICE agents from conducting a raid.
An updated indictment was filed in March, still naming Wells and Bonilla-Servin, but also adding charges to Omar Bonilla-Serna and Nicholas Foy Pastore.
The new indictment alleges that all four men conspired to harbor individuals who were in the country illegally for their own financial profit.
Wells, Bonilla-Serna, and Bonilla-Servin are also charged with attempting to prevent ICE agents from carrying out their official duties.
According to court documents, the group agreed that Bonilla-Servin would drive his GMC Sierra quad cab pickup truck to a nearby location to conduct counter-surveillance against federal agents who were surveilling the construction site.
After conducting this counter-surveillance, Bonilla-Servin drove his pickup truck back to the construction site’s entrance and positioned the truck to block the only entrance to the site.
He then allegedly struck the agents’ vehicle with his truck. He faces an additional charge for that.
