Illegal pleads "Guilty" to assaulting Border Patrol Officer.
No parole, no early release, give him the max and bill Mexico.
A 28-year-old Mexican national pleaded guilty Monday to assaulting a U.S. Border Patrol agent last year during a failed arrest attempt.
Juan Carlos Gonzalez Garcia, of Villa De Ramos, S.L.P., Mexico, faces up to 20 years in prison for the attack which left the agent with a fractured left shoulder.
He told authorities he was one of three men in a pick-up truck stopped on Dec. 13 just outside of Roma, according to court documents.
But when agents discovered he was in the country illegally and tried to arrest him, Gonzalez resisted, knocking himself and the arresting agent to the ground. The impact injured the federal law enforcement officer.
Authorities arrested Gonzalez nearby a short time later. He has remained in custody since his arrest.
Gonzalez was previously detained and deported in August 2006, after entering the United States illegally through Laredo. Why wasn't he put in jail?
In 2005, he served 10 months in a U.S. federal prison for smuggling illegal immigrants into the United States.
