A man from Katy,
Texas, has been sentenced
to 18 months in federal prison after being convicted of assaulting a
U.S. Border Patrol agent.
According to court documents,
26‑year‑old Kevin Dominguez
drove his sedan to a Border
Patrol checkpoint on
U.S. Highway 57 on August 1, 2023.
During his approach, a trained USBP
canine alerted agents to movement in his trunk,
where an individual was discovered.
Instead of stopping,
Dominguez reversed
and struck an agent
with his vehicle before fleeing the scene.
