An illegal immigrant from Venezuela was sentenced to eight months and two days in custody for biting a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer on the forearm during a 2015 arrest, prosecutors said.
The United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of California said the sentence was given to Robert Antonio Bastardo Llovera on Monday after he pleaded guilty on March 3 to a charge of assault on a federal officer. The charge carried a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. 'Our office will continue to prioritize the protection of federal officers engaged in their lawful duties,' U.S. Attorney Adam Gordon said in a statement. 'Assaulting a federal law enforcement officer is a serious offense and any actions that put agents and officers at risk will not be tolerated,' added Kevin Murphy, acting Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations in San Diego. 'We will continue to hold all individuals who assault law enforcement or interfere with investigations and operations fully accountable.'
