Man sets tree on fire, throws rocks to avoid arrest at border

YUMA, Ariz. – A man attempted to avoid arrest by scaling a tree, setting it on fire and throwing rocks at Yuma Sector Patrol Agents and a U.S. Customs and Border Protection pilot near the Andrade port of entry Friday.

Yuma Sector Border Agents discovered footprints east of the Andrade port of entry Friday around 5:45 p.m., and suspected someone had illegally crossed the border. Agents called for assistance from CBP Air and a Marine helicopter.

Agents tracked the footprints for almost a mile before they located the suspected man near a tree. The man then scaled the tree, set it on fire and started throwing rocks at both the agents and helicopter. The agents and helicopter were not struck.

The man came down from the tree and was taken into custody. The Winter Haven Fire Department responded and extinguished the fire.

Agents determined the man to be a 31-year-old Honduran who had illegally crossed over into the U.S. The man told them he had been part of one of the migrant caravans.

After he was transported to the Yuma Central Processing Center, they found the man had several prior arrests in Florida and was previously deported from the U.S. in June 2018.

He is being presented for prosecution and removal proceedings.

A self-proclaimed member of the Central American migrant caravan was arrested on Friday for allegedly throwing rocks toward Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents.

Alan Suazo-Gomez, 31, of Honduras, illegally entered the U.S. near the Andrade Port of Entry in California, the agency said in a news release.

Agents reportedly spotted the man's footprints near the border and tracked him down for roughly a mile before finding him near a tree.

At that point, Suazo-Gomez allegedly "climbed up into the tree, set it on fire and began to throw rocks at agents on the ground" and at a CBP helicopter that was nearby. The man eventually came down from the tree and was arrested, officials said.

Neither the helicopter nor any agents were struck during the incident.

Suazo-Gomez purportedly told CBP agents he had traveled as part of the migrant caravan. The agency said the Honduran man was previously deported from the U.S. in June and had been arrested "several" times in Florida.
