Owner Operator caught in the act stealing fuel from fellow truckers

The mystery of diesel fuel disappearing from trucks in Seguin appeared solved this week when a San Antonio man with a specially rigged pickup was arrested on theft charges, police said.

Yan Gomez, 30, was caught Wednesday as he pumped fuel from a truck, said Lt. J. San Miguel of the Seguin Police.

“He had a Ford pickup with a spare tank in the back, and long hose he’d put into the tanks of the semis. He also had an electric pump,” San Miguel said.

Gomez was charged with theft and later released on $1,000 bond. His truck was impounded.

Police said he was spotted by a driver at Jud’s Truck Stop, and a nearby Seguin motorcycle officer was called to the scene.

“He caught him in the act. He didn’t even get out of the parking lot, and the hose was still dripping diesel,” said San Miguel, who continues to receive complaints from truckers who lost fuel.

“I don’t know what this guy has been doing in San Antonio. This guy is an independent trucker himself. I don’t know if he was supplying his own truck or selling it,” he said.

It had not been determined if Mr Gomez was a member of OOIDA, the organization founded to support independent truckers.

Actually the blurring is not of my doing but the system that serves the photo. Just for you, when I get time, I will try to correct it so you can gaze in rapt wonder and admiration at my ruggedly handsome yet debonair good looks. I wouldn't imagine you would want to come down here and enjoy cheap diesel, excellent Federal highways and not having the DOT fuckng with you all the time over minute bullshit things. You would not be accustomed to taking personal responsibility for your actions as the trucker here have to do. Scue mi, had to take another bite of these delicioso Rosarita Refrieds. I just can't understand how someone such as yourself can have such unbridled hatred against something you don't understand and refuse to educate yourself about. That bullshit wasn't cool 20 years ago nor is it now

Also I noticed you only use that BLURRED picture of yourself instead of 1 that a person could put a name n location to ?? N you accouse me of hideing ???????????

Hideing behind what ?? No I'm not like yr other wetback cousins n hideing behind anything ?? What is it exactly that you don't understand about me ?? I'm a Blue Blooded born in America American that defends his country and is very much going to do everything I can to see to it that only Americans enjoy America Period !! There is nothing I want down there in Mexico and have no intention of wanting to do anything down there or bring my equipment down there either!! What ever happens to you BEAN EATER's if you decide to come into my country is not my concern but if I have the opportunity to punish any of you I won't pass it up !!!

Ah, you again hiding behind the dutch proxy? You didn't read the story entirely. This is a MEXICAN-AMERICAN Owner Operator from San Antonio Texas stealing fuel from his fellow truckers. Considering about 65% of the population of Bexas County is Hispanic, I am not surprised. As far as OOIDA is concerned, it is a possibility and after all, Jamie Jones and her bunch are the worlds worst second only to Hoffa and his gang of thugs in distorting the truth. Have a good weekend my misguided nativist friend.

I'm not surprized that you would print this n try to tie OOIDA into it but you failed to mention the obivious fact that he is MEXICAN with that last name ???????????? Just one more time that it is proved that you n yr wetback bastard family n friends are nothing but a bunch of theives n criminals ??
