HE WAS JUST AFRAID OF THE POLICE


Man Charged With Attempted Murder of Huntsville Police Officer


Huntsville Police have charged a 23 year old illegal immigrant with attempted murder and resisting arrest.
According to police reports, officers were looking in to suspected drug activity at a home on Jamison Drive late Monday night. One officer approached a car parked in front of the home and attempted to speak with the driver. The driver refused to cooperate, and then put the car in gear. The police report indicates the officer was struck in the leg as the driver fled.
After a brief chase and scuffle with police, Zandoval was taken in to custody. Police Spokesman Wendell Johnson said Zandoval told officers he was an illegal alien from Mexico and was afraid of the police. Johnson also says Zandoval had existing warrants for Driving without a License, Violation of the Mandatory Vehicle Insurance and two Counts of Failure to Appear in Court.

ANOTHER CRASH INTO A HOME KNOCKS COUPLE OUT OF BED, 2-YEAR-OLD ESCAPES INJURY

Published: 05.23.2007
Man who crashed SUV into home identified
Tucson Citizen

A man who bailed out of a moving SUV, leaving it to crash into a Tucson home, has been identified as a Mexican citizen from Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, a Pima County sheriff's spokeswoman said.
Hugo A. Estrada, 30, was booked into jail May 15 as "John Doe," Deputy Dawn Barkman said. Charges against him include aggravated assault, endangerment and fleeing from a law enforcement officer. Jail corrections officers were credited in determining Estrada's identity and his residency in the border city just south of El Paso, Texas.
Barkman said Estrada was in the United States illegally. A corrections officer said Estrada is being held without bail, noting an Immigration and Customs Enforcement hold order on him.
Barkman said after the crash that the Chevrolet Suburban Estrada drove had been stolen, but detectives have been unable to confirm who owns it. The plates on the SUV belonged to another vehicle, and the vehicle identification number could not be traced in a state database.
A deputy saw the Suburban go through a stop sign at West Avra Valley and North Trico roads about 3:30 a.m., Barkman said.
When he turned on the emergency lights and siren for a traffic stop, the driver fled, she said.
About six miles away, at West Manville Road near North Coues Deer Lane, the SUV slowed to 5 to 10 mph, and the driver jumped out and ran. The deputy caught him on foot, Barkman said.
The Suburban crashed through a bedroom wall of a home on Coues Deer in which a couple and their 2-year-old daughter were asleep.
The SUV hit a bed, knocking the man and woman to the floor, but no one in the home was injured. The family was not identified.

ROBERT GREGORIO



According to the California Highway Patrol, an 18-year-old male was driving a Ford Taurus southbound on Otay Lakes Road when he struck the motorcyclist. Investigators said the teen crossed the double yellow line at a turn and overcorrected, striking and killing the motorcyclist who was coming in the opposite way.
Officials are investigating to determine if the driver is a U.S. citizen.
“His only form of identification he had on him was a photo ID and an educational ID from Mexico,” said CHP spokesman Brian Pennings. “He gave us a Los Angeles address, though.”
The car’s driver suffered minor injuries and will face numerous charges, said officials.



The identity of a motorcyclist killed Thursday in a crash on Otay Lakes Road has been released.
The victim was identified as retired San Diego police Officer Sgt. Robert Gregorio.
An 18-year-old driver crashed into Gregorio’s motorcycle Thursday, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Border patrol agents began chasing the 18-year-old motorist after receiving a tip of illegal immigrant activity in the area, NBC7/39 reported.
Agents had pulled off the chase shortly before the accident.
The driver did not have a valid driver’s license, police said.

JAMES & EMILIA LEE


Another tragic addition to the list of unnessary deaths caused by violent illegal aliens was the newlywed couple, James and Emilia Lee of Huachuca City, Arizona, who had been married only six weeks. They were killed Oct. 16 when a truckload of at least 17 illegal aliens traveling at 90 mph crashed into several vehicles near the town of Sierra Vista, leaving a horrific scene of carnage. The aliens were trying to escape police after they had run a stop sign, and the truck rammed into a line of nine vehicles waiting for a turn light near Fort Huachuca. The photo shows James Lee's son Joe and grandson Christopher. James was 75 and his new bride Emilia was 71. The couple had been planning a fishing trip to Mexico with Joe and other relatives. Both James and Emilia were known as neighborly, never hesitating to reach out to help. James often helped out when someone needed a home repair done, and Emilia was an active volunteer for her church. Nearly 300 friends and family attended the services for the Lees held Oct. 21.

10 Killed, 51 Injured



• The danger on the highways from truckloads of illegal aliens in border areas has been increasing drastically. It is not unusual for a van full of illegal aliens to speed down the road in the wrong direction to avoid American law enforcement, causing death and injury to both American citizens and foreigners. One of the worst examples (shown at the left) took place near San Diego June 25, 2002, where seven people were killed and at least 31 were injured when a van tried to avoid a border checkpoint by turning the lights off and speeding against oncoming traffic in the wrong lane. Larry S. Baca of Albuquerque was killed when his Ford was smashed head-on by the immigrant van and knocked airborne. On March 10, 2003, two men were killed and 20 people were injured when a stolen truck loaded with illegal aliens tried to outrun American authorities.
