McALLEN — A Rio Grande City man has been sentenced to more than 11 years in prison on drug charges and for ramming a Border Patrol vehicle.
On Thursday morning, U.S. District Judge Micaela Alvarez sentenced Jorge Eduardo Lopez to 135 months in prison, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Texas.
According to court records, Lopez pleaded guilty Jan. 1 after allegations that when U.S. Border Patrol agents tried to stop him, he fled Rio Grande City in a vehicle carrying more than 650 pounds of marijuana. Then, during a high-speed chase, Lopez rammed one of the Border Patrol SUVs and was caught soon after. The agent wasn’t hurt.
