(NewsNation) — A man accused of throwing rocks at law enforcement vehicles during Los Angeles’s anti-ICE protests last month was arrested Wednesday at the U.S.-Mexico border, according to the U.S. attorney for the Central District of California.
U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli identified the suspect as Elpidio Reyna and released footage allegedly showing him picking up large rocks and hurling them at passing Border Patrol vehicles. The incident occurred on June 7 in Paramount, California, injuring one federal officer during the attack.
Essayli also released a video that shows Reyna being taken into custody in San Diego by a Border Patrol officer who had been inside one of the vehicles targeted during the incident.
