Plano — An illegal alien has been indicted and charged with injuring federal immigration agents in the Eastern District of Texas, announced U.S. Attorney Jay R. Combs.
Jerson Lopez-Sanchez, 28, a citizen and national of Honduras, was indicted and charged with three counts of assaulting federal immigration agents in the Eastern District of Texas, which includes an area from Beaumont and Jefferson County all the way up to north Texas.

This maneuver caused enough space for Lopez-Sanchez to drive around the other law enforcement vehicles and attempt to flee. Federal agents began pursuit of Lopez-Sanchez with red and blue flashing lights engaged. One of the law enforcement vehicles was able to position itself between Lopez-Sanchez and his escape route.

Three of the occupants were ultimately detained after foot pursuits and with the help of civilians. Lopez-Sanchez was identified as the owner and driver of the vehicle and remains at large…
