WHEELING -- The number now stands at 113 after three more illegal aliens were arrested in Ohio County early Thursday.
Ohio County Sheriff's Deputies pulled over a truck for speeding on Interstate 70 eastbound and found three admitted illegals inside, along with three Amish men.
Chief Deputy Pat Butler says the illegals were on their way to a job in Pennsylvania.
Butler said this was a first for him in 33 years in law enforcement.
He said three illegals were working for an Amish roofing company.
The three men from Mexico and Guatemala were held by the department, and immigration officials in Pittsburgh agreed to pick them up.
Butler says it will be up to labor enforcement to determine whether their employer, Summit Framing, will face any legal action.
