High-speed
chase ends
at border
BY PETER JENSEN
The Western Front
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers
arrested two fugitives wanted for murder
in California Tuesday afternoon after they
attempted to flee the country at the Peace Arch
Border Crossing in Blaine.
The officers arrested the pair after they broke
through a blockade customs officers set up to
stop them. They drove
through Peace Arch
Park — clipping the
arch — and swerved
into the southbound
lanes of Interstate 5,
continuing north for a
short time.
The chase ended
when Whatcom
County Sheriff's
Deputy Stuart Smith
swerved his vehicle in
front of the suspects'
car before the crossing,
causing a crash,
Whatcom County
Sheriff Bill Elfo said.
"It was very
heroic," Elfo said.
"There was a severely
grave danger with
someone driving
Jose Antonio
Barajas (top) and
Ishtiaq Hussain
(bottom).

Western facilities management planning manager Ed Simpson
expects road construction to control, stabilize and prevent future
landslides along West College Way to finish by the end of the
month, he said.
The university began construction on West College Way July
2005. The project widened the road and created a turning lane for
access into the service road west of the Wade King Recreation
Center. Western ended construction in September and intended

Western's football team may soon welcome
back an old teammate, junior defensive end
Joey Joshua, if it accepts him.
The university suspended Joshua for one
year after University Police arrested Joshua on
campus in January 2005 on suspicion of two
counts of unlawful delivery of a controlled
substance.
Instead of facing trial, Joshua agreed to a
plea bargain in May 2005, resulting in no jail
time but $22,000 in fines and 220 hours of
community service.
Joshua could no longer play football and lost
his full-ride scholarship following the arrest.
Joshua said within two weeks, his life
went from a care-free existence to complete
isolation.
"I stopped going out and seeing people and
didn't show my face in public," Joshua said.
He said he was embarrassed and ashamed.
After a few months he began to realize his life
was out of control and the important things like
his education had fallen to the wayside, he said.
"My priorities were completely messed
up," Joshua said. "Partying came first, football
second and school last."
Joshua said he isn't ready to call his arrest
a blessing in disguise, but without losing
everything, he wouldn't know the worth of his
education and his college athletic career.
Joshua plans on re-enrolling at Western in
March for spring quarter and has been talking
with his former football coaches about the
possibility of returning to Viking football. The
last game Joshua played was on Nov. 6,2004 at
Humboldt State University.
"I love Western football and still think of the
Vikings as my team," Joshua said.
