An illegal alien teen has been charged with murdering a police officer from Florida. The officer died after a six-minute struggle with the suspect.
The illegal immigrant, 18-year-old Vergilio Aguilar Mendez from Guatemala, was seen by Sergeant Michael Kunovich in St. Augustine, Florida, on the evening of May 19. Mendez was sitting in the dark outside a closed business. Kunovich attempted a pat down to check for weapons but Mendez pulled away and tried to flee. More deputies arrived at the scene while Mendez continued to resist.
While fighting on the ground, Mendez attempted to take hold of Kunovich’s Taser and continued to “resist violently” for more than six minutes, according to a May 20 press release by St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office (SJSO), Florida. After Mendez was handcuffed and his pocket knife was confiscated, Kunovich collapsed. Though fire and rescue personnel engaged in “lifesaving measures,” Kunovich was pronounced dead shortly after being taken to Flagler Hospital….
