A Texas trucker who was caught smuggling illegal immigrants is going to prison for a long time. Thomas Charlton was sentenced to spend just over four years behind bars. The 60-year old was behind the wheel of a big rig that he said was hauling hot peppers. But a Border Patrol inspection found 70 people locked in the trailer. Some of them were armed with hatchets.
