A Mesa police officer’s patrol car was damaged this morning after police said an illegal immigrant from Mexico with a suspended driving license put his 1979 Ford pickup in reverse and hit the cruiser during a traffic stop.

Isias Medina, 25, was arrested on suspicion of aggravated DUI moments after he was pulled over in his vehicle at about 3 a.m. for several alleged traffic violations in the 1800 block of North Recker Road, police said.

During the traffic stop, Medina presented the police with a Mexican voter’s registration card, and it was discovered he had his U.S. driving privileges suspended, according to Sgt. Ed Wessing, a spokesman for the Mesa Police Department. The man admitted to police that he was not a U.S. citizen, police said.

The patrol cruiser suffered minor front-end damage.
