Man sentenced for throwing rocks at Border Patrol chopperTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
An illegal immigrant who tried to bring down a U.S. Border Patrol helicopter by throwing rocks at it was sentenced to 38 months in federal prison, the U.S Attorney's office said.
Antonio Eretza-Florez, 33, will also be on supervised release for 36 months following his release for the July, 2004 incident. He was sentenced Thursday.Eretza-Florez was a passenger in a stolen vehicle packed with immigrants that a police officer in Huachuca City tried to stop. A chase ensued and the officer ran his patrol car into a ditch.
U.S. Border Patrol agents arrived to help, and a helicopter and an unmanned aerial vehicle also were brought in to search for the fleeing vehicle and its occupants.
After the vehicle became stuck, Eretza-Florez ran into the desert and was chased by Border Patrol agents. As the helicopter flew low to guide the agents to him he threw several softball-sized rocks at the aircraft. The pilot had to take evasive maneuvers to avoid them, and one rock passed through the rotor blades.
Eretza-Florez pleaded guilty on Dec. 1 to aggravated assault on a federal agent and a charge of re-entering the U.S. after being deported.

this happened in 1994 and he's STILL HERE!! -- will he actually serve 38 months, or is he to STAY HERE and be under 'supervised release for 36 months'?

this is ultimate stupidity
