ICE described Alan Eduardo Garcia’s arrest as “high-risk” because of his “repeated aggression and attempts to evade arrest.”
Garcia’s criminal record includes arrests and convictions for felony strangulation, domestic battery, disorderly conduct, battery causing bodily injury, aggravated battery against a handicapped or pregnant woman and unlawful use of a firearm.
ICE officers first attempted to arrest Garcia during an Oct. 8 traffic stop, but he allegedly fled at the time, ramming a government vehicle and driving at speeds topping 100 mph.
On Wednesday, officers attempted to arrest him again after he left his apartment and got into his car.
Garcia again rammed officers’ cars and sped off before fleeing on foot and barricading himself inside his apartment, ICE said.
