Former CBP Officer Appeals No-Bond Order In Alleged Kidnap Of Mexican Girl
As previously reported by the Arizona Daily Independent, Mitchell was indicted for the kidnapping and rape of a 15-year-old Mexican resident.
Mitchell admittedly came into contact with the teenager near her school in Douglas. She told police Mitchell ordered her into his car then drove her an hour away to Sierra Vista, where she says she was kept in his apartment for several hours.
Court records show the girl crossed daily from Agua Prieta, Sonora into Douglas to attend school. She was allegedly ordered by Mitchell to show him her identification papers before being lured into his car when he said they needed to go to the nearby Douglas police station.
Instead, Mitchell drove the girl all the way to Sierra Vista. Once in his apartment, the girl was reportedly handcuffed and forced into leg restraints. She told detectives she was sexually assaulted numerous times over several hours and at one point was given alcohol before being driven back to Douglas.
The girl’s description of Mitchell’s apartment and physical characteristics unique to Mitchell led to his arrest that same evening. Photographs taken at the time show he was wearing his CBP uniform.
wonder how many times this had occurred before this specific incident where he was caught..
Death Penalty would be more appropriate, but they gov’t doesn’t care what the citizenry wants.
