A federal judge in Arizona sentenced a human smuggler to 13 years in prison for shooting at a Border Patrol agent after attempting to flee from an immigration checkpoint.
The man shot at the agent with an AR-15-style rifle as he attempted to open the smuggler’s car door.
Border Patrol agents pursued the human smuggling vehicle for approximately 20 miles until the driver pulled over. As a Border Patrol agent approached the driver’s side door in an attempt to extricate Stalter, shots rang out from inside the vehicle, the criminal complaint states. One of the migrants told agents he paid $11,000 to be smuggled into the U.S. Smugglers in Mexico provided them with fake identification cards to be used at immigration checkpoints.
