Man arrested after seeking towed car
Mar 6, 2007


By Maureen Boyle, Enterprise staff writer

BROCKTON — Jose Gomes went to the police station to pick up his towed car.

He wound up getting picked up by police instead.

The 40-year-old man was arrested after, police say, he showed officers a bogus driver's license and a fingerprint check revealed he was a convicted felon deported to Brazil by federal authorities in 2002.

Gomes was arrested Saturday after he went to police headquarters to find out how he could get back his impounded car.

Officer Scott Uhlman said the car was impounded earlier after another man, who had a bogus driver's license, was stopped by police.

The car was towed, and Gomes went to the police station trying to figure out where it was and how he could retrieve it, Uhlman said.

But there was a problem.

The driver's license Gomes showed police to prove his identity was bogus and when officer Kevin Amaral ran the man's fingerprints through the FBI data base it showed he had been deported May 1, 2002.

“He was put on a plane and deported back to Brazil,” Uhlman said. “There was no record of any legal re-entry.”

Gomes was charged with uttering a counterfeit document and trespassing.

“The element of trespassing was that he has no lawful purpose in this country,” Uhlman said.

And the car?

It's still impounded.

And these are their best and BRIGHTEST???

I'm with you Pine, that guy get the Duhhhhhh Award.

Jean,

Thanks for posting the story made my day.

They never cease to amaze........

Heck, returning illegally after being deported is a felony. Why didn't the man do a year in prison prior to being deported (for the second time)?

Honestly, the guy has learned nothing and will be back within 30 days.

I agree. Until they come up with something with some teeth in it, they'll keep coming back.

There should be a Guantonamo Bay like facility built specifically for the purpose of jailing illegal aliens. They should stop putting them in prisons with Americans as it only increases the numbers in their gang population. Its a waste of tax dollars to perpetually deport them since no one is aware that they have returned until they commit another one of their culturally embedded criminal acts.

Thank this police department and Chief Conlon:

There's news daily of how illegal immigration corrupts everything it touches. Many municipalities look the other way.

Today there was an article about some officers doing their job and caring enough to remove an illegal alien felon from our midst. No doubt the criminal advocacy will be by soon with their whining. Thanks to the Brockton PD for standing against the anarchist forces.

Got a reply from the ChiefConlon. He put me on his mailing list. Sent me a link to the "good news" article about the bust in the New Bedford leather factory where they got 350. More like him!
