A Mexican man who fired at US Border Patrol agents during a vehicle chase across southern Texas that reached speeds of 100 mph is going to prison for nearly 18 years.
US District Judge Alia Moses sentenced Sergio Trevino, 35, on Friday, June 10, in Del Rio, to 214 months behind bars. On March 31, 2021, Trevino pleaded guilty to assaulting a federal officer and using a firearm during a crime of violence.
“Sergio Trevino not only placed the lives of the US Border Patrol agents who were attempting to apprehend him in peril, but also the lives of the undocumented noncitizens he was transporting and everyone traveling on the road that day,” said US Attorney Ashley C. Hoff in a prepared statement released in the wake of the sentencing hearing. “Thankfully no one was seriously injured by his senseless and dangerous actions.”
Trevino’s attorney did not return messages seeking comment. Trevino previously had been convicted for burglary.
