This eyewitness video shows the car that authorities claim tried to ram federal agents as they attempted a traffic stop.
A chaotic scene played out in front of people around 10 a.m. at a Morrisville shopping plaza last Tuesday.
The driver, Milton Ermilo Arreaga Roblero, 23, was taken into custody and charged with assaulting a federal officer as well as other charges related to the Dec. 2 arrest near the Sangam Mart at 10300 Chapel Hill Road.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents said Roblero is unlawfully in the country.
However, federal court documents obtained by the I-Team show that Roblero was not the intended target.
Immigration agents were actually looking for the owner of the vehicle, Maynor Godinez-Mendez.
Godinez-Mendez is not in custody but has a deportation order for removal.
Immigration officials told ABC11 that this was part of a normal ICE operation and had no connection with the Border Patrol's recent Operation Charlotte's Web.
