A 32-year-old border patrol agent with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is charged with aggravated assault after Ada County prosecutors say he put a Boise man in a headlock and pointed a loaded handgun at his head early Sunday.

Prosecutors say Israel Eureste, who is from Douglas, Arizona, was in the Boise area visiting family members when he got into a confrontation with the victim.

Boise police were called to a home in the 1200 block of South Lincoln Avenue around 3 a.m. Sunday to investigate a report of a fight. The victim told police he got into an argument with Euresete about broken beer bottles in the street. Eureste put him in a headlock, pulled out and pointed the gun at the man’s head and told him he could pull the trigger because he was a federal agent, according to court testimony.

Prosecutors say Eureste then put the gun away before pulling it out and pointing it at the victim a second time before police arrived, according to court records.

10. Regional bigotry still alive and well I see.

How many people have to help you hold that brush?

[pwb]

12. Ouch, that hurts.

Not. Arizona paints it own broad brush. Sorry I do not agree with their racism. You feel free to defend them, I do not. I would seriously like a fence around it.

13. No, it is your broad brush, painting all of Arizona as racist.

Thanks for nothing.

[pwb]

14. I am not alone here.

My brush for Arizona is a wall paper size brush. That finger in the face governor, Mccain, Kyle, that sheriff, please give me a break. The government in that state is awful. I am talking politics, not people. Some good democrats are trapped in all the red states. Sorry if you are one.

16. "Some good democrats are trapped in all the red states."

That's a fucking shit attempt at a walk-back.

Try again.

[Shankapotomus]

19. He's from Arizona, you guys.

Let's just get away from him.

[pwb]

20. Another try, no walk-back you don't scare me.

Arizona politics suck. Sorry you live there, besides its O K if I do not care for Arizona. I am from the great northeast, feel free to not like it. I won't throw a fit about it. The four seasons are the best. See ya tough guy??

Fucking prick.

6. WRONG!

Eureste was booked into the Ada County Jail. He also is charged with using a firearm in the commission of felony.

As a felon he is not legally allowed to own firearms.

7. Oh, okay. Thank you for the info.

[JoeyT]

8. Unless he manages to get it reduced to

a misdemeanor by pleading. In which case he won't be a felon.

4. Proves law enforcement agents should not be allowed to bear arms.

[DiverDave]

9. In his mind he CAN break

all the beer bottles he wants, because he's a 'Federal agent'
The sense of entitlement these people have is astonishing.

Now, he's got to know you dont just break bottles in the street.
He'll probably say he was drunk and he's sorry.
They will let him go with a warning, as he is one of
our 'heroes' protecting us from "THOSE" people.
This is Idaho,after all.

[PavePusher]

11. And more regional bigotry.

Well done.

[AlphaCentauri]

15. Eureste that treatment is reserved for immigrants only

who you think you are?

[Canadian 2]

17. Guy is from Arizona

That's all that need be said.

[Ptah]

18. No, that's not all to be said, tell us more.
