A man from Katy, Texas,
has been sentenced
to 18 months in federal prison
after being convicted of assaulting
a U.S. Border Patrol agent.
According to court documents, 26‑year‑old
Kevin Dominguez drove his sedan
to a Border Patrol checkpoint
on U.S. Highway 57 on August 1, 2023.
During his approach, a trained
USBP canine alerted agents to movement in his trunk
, where an individual was discovered.
Instead of stopping, Dominguez reversed
and struck an agent with
his vehicle before fleeing the scene.
