Roberto Carlos Munoz-Guatemala, 40, was convicted on one count of assault on a federal officer with a dangerous and deadly weapon, causing bodily injury.

Federal agents tried to arrest Munoz-Guatemala on an immigration order on June 17. Court documents note he was convicted of sexually abusing a minor in 2022.

Munoz-Guatemala was “uncooperative and refused to follow directions,” prosecutors said. A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent eventually broke the back window so he could open the door from the inside.

As the agent did this, prosecutors say Munoz-Guatemala accelerated, dragging the agent for over 100 yards. He also weaved back and forth, trying to shake the ICE agent from the car.

The agent suffered “significant” injuries to his arms and hand.

A sentencing date has not yet been scheduled.
