A Riverside County family says an Off-Duty Agent arrested the teenager’s son at the scene
A law enforcement officer working in Riverside County was arrested last week after he pulled a gun on a 17-year-old and held him on the side of the road.
Gerardo Rodriguez, 46, was known by neighbors to be an agent assigned to immigration and customs or customs and the border and the border, said Greg Kirakosian, the lawyer representing the youth. The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees both agencies, did not return a request for comment.
The girl was first driven from Rodriguez’s home to drop off some friends at a nearby house around 10 PM on November 10, Kirakosian said. The child then went back to the same place to go home when he was stopped by Rodriguez, who pulled a gun on the child as he drove down the street.
The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department was dispatched to the 32000 block of Daybrook Terrace, Temecula around 10:40 p.m., according to Saturday.
Rodriguez was taken into custody without incident on November 11, according to the Sheriff’s Department and charged with assault on a public officer, child endangerment and assault with a deadly weapon. He posted bail the same day and his next court date is scheduled for Dec. 26, according to the Sheriff’s Department’s Clothing Division.
The teenager and his family, who are all US citizens, “were scared to begin with” before this incident happened, Kirakosian said, pointing to Latinos, even citizens, being dragged into forced migration across the country.
“They’re Mexican Americans, you know, in southern California right now, and there’s snowballing going on left and right,” he said.
Video Fook SUBMITTED FROM THE FOLLOWING DEPARTMENT YEARS It shows Rodriguez “in the middle of the street, kind of walking down the street with a gun in his hand,” KiraKosian said.
“It’s not like he took you out of an emergency. He did. He was walking down the street with a gun in his hand,” she said.
Rodriguez, wearing shorts and a t-shirt, was initially seen walking down the street on a security camera captured at the next-door neighbor’s house. Seeing the truck’s path, Rodriguez walks to the middle of the road and pulls out a gun before pointing it at the moving vehicle.
“Stop, stop. Slow down. Freeze. Police,” Rodriguez was heard yelling, his gun pointed at the truck as it approached. The driver, fearing he was going to be shot, got off and eventually stopped, Kirakosian said. Rodriguez ordered the girl to park the car and identified herself as the police.
Rodriguez then approached the driver’s side of the car and pointed his gun at the driver. He interrogates the young man, asking where he and his family are from and wants to be seen, Kirakosian said. The girl was detained for about 20 minutes.
In the video, Rodriguez can be heard arguing with the girl, saying she sped down the road. He also said that the young man almost disrespected him on the way.
The teenager’s friends, who were in a nearby house, saw the incident and informed the friend’s parents, who were also at home and approached Kirakosian. They then called Bana’s mother, who quickly grabbed her son’s passport to prove he was an American citizen. When the mother arrived at the scene, Rodriguez left and called the police.
Police obtained a search warrant and arrested Rodriguez early on Nov. 11. They also seized and confiscated Rodriguez’s security camera footage and the gun used in the shooting, Kirakosian said.
This incident has recently brought a growing number of snow users to face people and want to see. The ice agent confronted the local police when he he pulled a gun to a woman in Fullerton earlier this month. There are many Ice and Border Patrol shooting We have also performed across California and Chicago in recent months.
KiraKosian said that this incident may have led to an arrest because the agent was not there.
The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
“You’ve got Icegents who say they feel so intimidated by what they’re doing day in and day out, they’re actually treating their areas like they need to start investigating,” Kirakosian said.
