Marc Anthony Bane of Porter who is well known in the local law enforcement community after his countless arrests have now been arrested by the Feds after he and Tara Rene Dillon attempted to smuggle 89 migrants in a stolen 2017 Freightliner and trailer. In the mid-afternoon of July 13, 2021, he arrived at a checkpoint on U.S. 83. When agents opened the trailer they discovered 89 migrants profusely sweating in the trailer. Bane told investigators that he received a call from an unknown person. He was to drive from Porter to a Walmart parking lot in Laredo and pick up the truck and trailer and drive it past the checkpoint to an unknown location. For this, he would be paid $1000. He claimed he did not know the contents of the trailer. Tara Dillion told investigators a man named Brian drove them from Porter to Laredo and they were to take the truck to San Antonio. Dillion said Brian drove them to a Motel 6 parking lot. Investigators secured video from Motel 6 and were able to view Bane and Dillon being dropped off in the Nissan Titan. They then got into the 18-wheeler and left the Motel 6. The tractor-trailer they were driving was reported stolen from the same Motel 6. Both Bane and Dillon were charged in Federal Court with transport, attempt to transport, and conspire to transport the migrant.
