On Jan. 3, state troopers reported a stolen tractor that was spotted near Fabens by Border Patrol agents assisted by National Guard troops.

"The guy tried, oddly enough, tried to elude authorities in the tractor and he didn't get far," Border Patrol spokesman Doug Mosier said. The tractor overturned trying to cross a dry canal and the thief, a Mexican citizen, was caught.
