A Mexican man, Martin Trinidad-Solano, was sentenced by Senior United States District Judge Raner C. Collins to time served, little over a year, after pleading guilty to one count of Assault on a Federal Officer on June 15, 2022.
Trinidad-Solano’s prison sentence is to be followed by one year of supervised release.
Trinidad-Solano, age 25, assaulted a United States Border Patrol (USBP) agent assigned near the U.S. – Mexico Boundary Fence near Douglas, Arizona. Border Patrol surveillance notified the agent of a suspected undocumented noncitizen hiding in the brush. The agent approached Trinidad-Solano when a chase ensued.
The USBP agent was able to apprehend Trinidad-Solano, who then assaulted the agent by grabbing his genitals and twisting them until the agent was able to break away from his grasp.
