CARRIZO SPRINGS, Texas \u2013 U.S. Border Patrol agents and Dimmit County Sheriff\u2019s deputies, working in conjunction, apprehended a man suspected of kidnapping.<\/p>\n
On March 22, Carrizo Springs Station Border Patrol agents responded to a call for assistance from the Dimmit County Sheriff\u2019s Office, who had received a report of a woman walking along FM 1917 with her hands bound with rope. The woman explained that she had been providing food and water to a man behind her house for three days. Without warning, the man grabbed the woman, bound her feet and hands, and forced her into her car. When the man tried to start the vehicle, the woman was able to escape from his control.<\/p>\n
Border Patrol agents and Dimmit County Sheriff\u2019s deputies responded to the scene of the attempted abduction and found foot sign of the individual leading away from the house. After tracking the individual for some time with the use of Border Patrol and Dimmit County canines, officials encountered an unresponsive person matching the assailant\u2019s description lying in the brush. A trained Border Patrol Emergency Medical Technician treated the unresponsive subject and transported him to the local hospital where it was determined by doctors the subject had been faking his condition. The woman who had been assaulted, while at the hospital, was able to identify the subject as the man who tried to kidnap her. Border Patrol agents were able to determine the subject was in the country illegally. The subject was charged by the Dimmit County Sherriff\u2019s Office with burglary of a habitation with intent to commit a felony and aggravated kidnapping. The subject faces immigration proceedings upon conclusion of the charges against him. He is currently being held at the Dimmit County jail.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe skill sets of the men and women of the United States Border Patrol are simply incredible,\u201d stated Acting Chief Patrol Agent Matthew J. Hudak. \u201cTracking and arresting this subject resulted in the detention of an undocumented alien with a propensity for violence.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
