Illegal Alien Flips Truck, Threatens Police Officer, Gets Arrested On More Than A Dozen Charges

In what can only be described as an act of love by some politicians, a previously deported illegal alien has been arrested in Duplin County, North Carolina on more than a dozen charges including re-entering the country, manufacturing meth, assault on a law enforcement officer with a firearm, and vehicular larceny.

ABC 12 News reports that George Zapata, 51, was stopped on Monday by local police for numerous traffic violations. After a brief verbal altercation with the officer on-site, Zapata fled the scene still in his vehicle. While driving away, "he crashed and flipped his truck. Authorities said Zapata pointed a gun at law enforcement during the chase. After Zapata crashed, deputies said he ran from the scene still displaying his weapon." 

Zapata then stole another motor vehicle and drove it into the woods. He was later found crawling through a field in an attempt to evade authorities. In total, police found 34 grams of meth on the illegal alien between his body and his truck. More than that, he also racked up quite the rap sheet on Monday afternoon.

ABC 12 has a complete list of the charges against the suspect:

1. Assault on a law enforcement officer with a firearm
2. Two counts of trafficking in methamphetamine
3. Two counts of breaking and entering a motor vehicle
