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.
