A Guatemalan man, Pedro Anival Coc-Caal, was given a slap on the wrist this week by United States District Judge John C. Hinderaker after pleading guilty to Assault on a Federal Agent Inflicting Bodily Injury and Improper Entry by an Alien.
Judge Hinderaker imposed a sentence of 24 months, which according to court documents, “is the lowest possible sentence per the stipulated plea agreement.”
On August 12, 2023, a United States Border Patrol agent was in the process of arresting Coc-Caal for illegal entry into the United States. As the agent attempted to handcuff him, Coc-Caal struck the agent on the left side of the agent’s face, causing the agent’s head to snap downwards and knocking his sunglasses off his face. As the agent tried to prevent Coc-Caal from escaping, Coc-Caal kicked the agent in the arm, causing the agent to fall backwards onto jagged rocks, breaking the agent’s finger.
The 22-year-old Coc-Caal escaped into the desert but was eventually apprehended after a foot pursuit aided by helicopter.
Coc-Caal illegally crossed the border near Sasabe and initially claimed to be from Mexico.
Who needs the Democratic Party to corrupt Arizona when we have Internal AZGOP Party Treason continuing to destroy our Arizona Republican Values.
This is what happens when you have a RINO AZ. Governor Doug Ducey settle political favors by appointing A DEMOCRAT to a State JUDGESHIP! Then President Trump relies on Ducey’s recommendation and nominates the Judge for the Federal Bench for Life.
The AZGOP needs to stiffen their internal rules to prevent “Party Treason” from within.
Guess we know that judge favors open borders and defunding any law enforcement along the border. And he certainly doesn’t think slapping and kicking an officer of the law causing more serious injury is worthy of his time and title. That’s why we need to vote in November and rescue our republic from idiots and globalists.
Attacks on law enforcement officers should be punished with maximum penalties not minimum sentences. Shame on the DA and Judge.
Must be a Biden or Obama appointee. He’ll be back before another judge now that he’s learned our justice system is a joke. Because we all know they’ll cut him loose to run amuck in our state once his time for this incident is served.
F that SOB…after the agent sues him for what he’s worth, throw him out after serving this minimum sentence!
