Mexican citizen sentenced to 57 months in federal prison for assault on Border Patrol agent
Last update: July 28, 2009 - 7:47 PM
TUCSON, Ariz. - A Mexican citizen was sentenced Tuesday to nearly five years in federal prison in connection with an assault on a U.S. Border Patrol agent last year.
Prosecutors say 20-year-old Luis Alberto Barron-Sanchez of Hermosillo, Sonora, was sentenced to 57 months after pleading guilty in the case on Jan. 30.
Authorities say Barron-Sanchez was driving a vehicle that contained four illegal immigrants on Jan. 24, 2008, when he was stopped by a Border Patrol agent conducting an immigration check.
They say Barron-Sanchez refused to turn off the ignition and when the agent reached in to do so, Barron-Sanchez sped away.
The agent got caught between the passenger door and the frame of the vehicle, but was able to take out his service weapon and shoot Barron-Sanchez in the leg to get him to stop the vehicle.
Authorities say Barron-Sanchez was arrested and the agent suffered some injuries that he has since recovered from.
