Lottery ticket at center of civil lawsuit
By BECKY PURSER

WARNER ROBINS -- What do criminal charges, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement hold, a civil lawsuit and a temporary restraining order on further disbursement of funds have to do with one another?

Try a $750,000 winning Georgia lottery ticket purchased in Warner Robins.

Jose Antonio Cua-Toc, 25, of Bonaire, jailed since Nov. 27 in Houston County on a terroristic threats charge for allegedly threatening lottery winner Erick Cervantes and his family, has filed a civil lawsuit against Cervantes and his wife, Sonia, over the winnings.

Cua-Toc is accused of repeatedly calling the Warner Robins couple and threatening “to kill each of them and their children if they did not give him some of the lottery winnings,â€

Ha. I always wondered what would happen if an illegal won the lottery. Now I know. They give it to a friend to cash in, and then the friend screws them over.

Georgia should restrict the winnings to US citizens and lawful residents.

Illegal gains profiting. Take it all to support the local police and immigration laws.

Cervantes, a native of Mexico City who moved to Middle Georgia in 1996, declined to comment Friday. He owns Elite Power Washing and Maintenance in Fort Valley.

Ok ICE, it's obvious that Mr Cervantes knowingly hires illegal immigrants... GO GET HIM ! Seize everything the guy has and send him packing. He's breaking the law by employing illegals, and I'll give you odds of 10-1 he requires that he be paid in cash so he doesn't have to report income to the IRS or carry pesky things such as workman's comp!

I don't understand how any illegal alien can be given access to our courts to sue anyone for anything. Employees of our judicial system are officers of the court which means they charged by law to enforce the law as officers of the court. When an illegal alien shows up in a court, any court in the United States, to sue someone for something, it's incumbent upon the Judges to order the bailiffs to arrest them and take them into custody, the same as they would do any American who confesses to a crime in court or the evidence displays reasonable suspicion that there is a criminal in the court room not already in police custody, so they can be held for a deportation order.

States also need to pass a law that requires all state court systems use E-verify to determine the immigration status of all non-citizens filing civil lawsuits in our courts so they can dismiss all cases filed by illegal aliens. Citizens have to wait years to get their cases to trial, so there is no reason whatsoever to allow our civil courts to be tied up and bogged down with illegal aliens filing suits in a country they're not even supposed to be in.

Illegal immigrant in dispute over lottery ticket granted voluntary U.S. departure

By BECKY PURSER

WARNER ROBINS -- An illegal immigrant who filed a civil lawsuit over a $750,000 winning lottery ticket was granted a 60-day voluntary departure Tuesday.
Jose Antonio Cua-Toc, 25, of Bonaire, who is also at the center of a criminal case over alleged terroristic threats in connection with the same lottery ticket, is being held in the Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin.

He had been jailed in Houston County on Nov. 27 for allegedly threatening lottery winner Erick Cervantes and his family. Cua-Toc threatened “to kill each of them and their children if they did not give him some of the lottery winnings,â€

The voluntary departure is beneficial to Cua-Toc because it buys Moreno time to continue pursuing a U-Visa. A U-Visa would allow Cua-Toc to temporarily stay in the U.S. and place him on track to get his green card for permanent residence within a few years.

Why on earth would anyone grant him a U-Visa? He's already made threats of bodily harm, we don't want or need another animal imported into OUR Country!
