[Something-Stinks-Here-Dept.] 2 Israelis
involved in chase now in federal custody KNOXVILLE
--Two Israeli men who led Unicoi
County authorities on a high-speed chase in a
rented moving truck have been turned over to
federal immigration authorities. Schmuel Dahan, 23, and Almaliach
Naor, 19, both of Tel Aviv, were transferred to
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement after
pleading guilty to state charges in Unicoi County
Sessions Court. Dahan pleaded guilty to evading
arrest, and Naor to possession of a fraudulent
identification card. Both men were sentenced
to 30 days in jail, which was suspended since
they are in the custody of federal
authorities. It appears there was no criminal activity and
that the two men were in the United States on
tourist visas but had jobs, a violation of
immigration policy, Unicoi County Sheriff Kent
Harris said. The FBI has monitored the situation but not
entered the case, FBI spokesman Gary Kidder
said. The pair were arrested May 8 after they led
Harris on a two-mile chase on U.S. 23 near the
North Carolina state line. Witnesses told
authorities that a bottle was tossed from the truck
during the pursuit. Harris said the two men insisted that they did
not throw a bottle from the truck. A lawyer for the two men said they rented the
truck to haul furniture and got lost when they got
off Interstate 26. Website note: we request readers to
