The family members, who live 90 miles away in Willimantic, told authorities their relatives were kidnapped in Texas, and they went to pay ransom for them.
But police documents obtained by Hearst Connecticut Newspapers show authorities later learned the fight erupted after a driver asked the family for an extra $60 per person to bring the three illegal immigrants to Willimantic.
The immigrants and the driver have been deported to Mexico and Guatemala.
