A 39-year-old Guatemalan man previously convicted of sexually assaulting a minor in 2022, who was released from local custody despite a detainer order by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials, has been apprehended and charged again after a pursuit during which he allegedly dragged an officer more than 100 yards with his car.
Guatemalan man charged
What we know:
According to an announcement by acting U.S. Attorney Joseph H. Thompson, Roberto Carlos Munoz is federally charged with assaulting a federal officer with a dangerous or deadly weapon, resulting in bodily injury.
Court documents say that on June 17, 2025, multiple agencies tried to execute an immigration warrant on Munoz at his home in Bloomington due to lack of legal status in the U.S.
When attempting to stop him, officials say Munoz refused to comply with demands, leading to an Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officer breaking the car window in an effort to unlock the door.
With the officer’s arm inside the car, Munoz allegedly put the transmission back into drive and accelerated, dragging the officer roughly 100 yards in the process. The officer twice tried to fire a taser to get him to stop, but it was ineffective, according to court documents.
The charges further allege that Munoz weaved back and forth and also drove up a curb in an attempt to shake the officer from the car before it ultimately crashed and came to a stop.
