spain Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 (edited) And he is an illegal alien with a long rap sheet! Fatal Wreck Had Past Arrests" Victor Benitez, the man behind the wheel in the crash that claimed the life of a 22-year-old TSU senior over the weekend, has been in trouble with the law before. He was arrested in February of last year for car burglary and theft. Metro Police arrested him nine months later on public intoxication, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. On both incidents, Benitez served his time and was released. The question of his illegal immigrant status did not apparently amount to much, because he was never deported. Upon hearing the news, many in the Mid-State felt the system let TSU student and track athlete Joycelyn Gardiner...down. Many felt the system is messed up questioning how someone, who is in the country illegally, can be let go, free. One said, “He should have never been out to commit the crime in the first place. If they caught him, he was guilty. They should have done what law says; sent him back or put him in jail and they didn't do that.” Another said, “He needs to go back, after he serves his time here, then he needs to go back.” I think the system let the lady down. Oh yeah he needs to go back. He needs to do his time and then go back." Rick Gentry, with the Davidson County Sheriff's Office, saidthe department’s new immigration program now identifies illegal immigrants, something it never used to. He said offenders like Benitez are now referred directly to immigration officials from ICE who work with the department and decide deportation status of suspects. Gardiner was a criminal justice major who wanted to go to law school. Edited June 19, 2007 by spain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
