ICE agent charged with assault for hitting a fleeing man with his car will turn himself in on Monday
A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent charged with running over a Mexican man in Houston will turn himself in on Monday, according to his attorney, David Lindenmuth. Mario Alberto Morales struck Miguel Parra Hernandez, a 48-year-old construction worker, with his unmarked SUV on Oct. 10 as Parra Hernandez fled through a parking lot. A grand jury indicted Morales on Friday on a felony charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Parra Hernandez broke his leg and is recovering in a rehabilitation facility while in federal custody, according to Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare. ICE has said Parra Hernandez ran in front of Morales' car, an account Teare said video evidence contradicts.
