Border agent stabbed during marijuana bust

September 5, 2007

EAST COUNTY: A woman in a car carrying 186 pounds of marijuana stabbed a Border Patrol agent in the leg while trying to get away yesterday, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection official said.

The agent disarmed the woman and detained her until other agents arrived. He was taken to a hospital and later was reported in good condition, a border official said.

The incident began about 11:50 a.m., when agents got a tip that people were loading something into the trunk of a Chevrolet Impala near Tierra del Sol, off state Route 94 in Campo.

Agents tried to pull over the driver, then used a spike strip to flatten the tires and halt the car on Route 94 west of Buckman Springs Road. The driver jumped out and ran, but the female passenger allegedly used a pocketknife with a 3-inch blade to stab an agent in the left thigh. Agents found marijuana in the trunk, caught the driver and arrested him and the woman. –P.R.

I would have beat the crap out of her for the stabbing. But then again, I'm not a Border Agent, I really adimire these guys and their sense of restraint.

Yes and sadly, you would have gone to jail and Johnny Sutton or some jerk like him would have given her immumity and a free border crossing card.

Wonder how much jail time she will serve? I am sure she will be out and sneak back in this country illegally 10 more times before Ramos and Compean are ever let out. Disgusting.
