A U.S. Customs and Border Patrol employee is facing charges after a Minnesota state trooper found him passed out in his car this week, “covered in vomit,” according to a report.
Alfredo Mancillas Jr., 31, of Corpus Christi, Texas, was found in St. Paul “slumped over in the driver’s seat” around 3:30 a.m. near Allianz Field, according to court documents reviewed by the Sahan Journal. The vehicle reeked of booze and was parked illegally in a no-parking zone.
Mancillas displayed telltale signs of intoxication, including “bloodshot and watery eyes” along with visible vomit all over him, the report said. After failing a field sobriety test, the agent refused to take a breath test. He was arrested and faces charges of 3rd and 4th degree driving while impaired.
The Department of Homeland Security admitted the agent was arrested, stating that “CBP stresses honor and integrity in every aspect of our mission,” while confirming its Office of Professional Responsibility is investigating. Mancillas is expected back in court on March 24.
The arrest occurred during Operation Metro Surge, the massive federal immigration crackdown that has flooded Minnesota with 3,000 federal agents.
