Man Claims to Be Illegal Immigrant to Avoid Facing Charge
Border Patrol agents say a U.S. citizen claimed to be in the country illegally, possibly hoping to be deported instead of having to face an attempted murder charge in Southern California.
Agent David Jimarez says a man identified by Santa Ana police as 29-year-old Adolfo Aparicio was arrested Friday in Arizona in an area known for drugs and human smuggling.
Officials say the man misidentified himself and told authorities he was in the country illegally. A felony warrant had been issued for his arrest for the attempted homicide of his wife in Santa Ana.
Aparicio’s true identity was discovered through a fingerprint check. Authorities say he will be extradited from Arizona to face charges in California.
Ok, so let me get this straight. This guy lied to the border patrol, claiming he was in the country illegally believing that he wouldn’t be charged with attempted murder?
Uh….WHAT? I think I must be missing something here.
Evidently, the knucklehead is aware of Mexico’s law that does not support Capital Punishment; and thinking he could get our guys to ‘return’ him to cactus town, he’d be able to avoid international extradition. What he didn’t count on was the finger printing and subsequent ID.
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing indeed.

HMPH! It’s a shame they have the death penalty for attempted murder, so this clown is doubly ig’nant!
