An alleged illegal immigrant’s latest brush with the law could wind up in his being deported, according to a Commerce Police Department arrest report.
Actually, it was after police had fought, subdued and arrested Luis Alonso Herrera, 24, at his 935 Homer Road, Lot 20 residence, that they learned that there was already a “deportation notification” lodged against him.
Subject in domestic dispute to be deported?
The fact that he allegedly attacked his 24-year-old wife with his fists and a hammer probably won’t help his case.
Several officers responded to the Ashworth Mobile Home Park call to find an altercation in process.
An officer quickly got Herrera and another Hispanic male into handcuffs, but Herrera continued to resist police.
One officer reported that he found Herrera “screaming in Spanish” and the “children on the couch screaming and crying.”
That officer rushed a 2-year-old girl into a back room and returned to find two officers and Herrera on the ground outside, the suspect bleeding heavily from a cut over his eye and the two officers simultaneously trying to keep him under control and stop the bleeding. According to the report, at one point Herrera tried to bite an officer, and at another, while on the porch on the way outside of the mobile home, shoved all three of them off the porch onto the ground.
A 24-year-old Hispanic female told police that she and Herrera had been drinking beer — she’d had “three or four” and he’d consumed most of the rest of two 12-packs, when he accused her of cheating on him. The woman said he ran into a bathroom, returned with a hammer and struck her five times with his fist.
The woman claimed he had not hit her with the hammer, but EMS responders indicated that a “severe laceration” on the back of her head was not likely caused by a fist. Further, the officer found blood on the hammer.
The woman also at one point made reference to Herrera “going for” a knife, but insisted he got the hammer instead.
The woman did not want to press charges, according to the report, but police arrested Herrera on charges of aggravated assault, disorderly conduct, obstruction of officers and cruelty to children.
He was taken to an Athens hospital for treatment of his injuries.
The victim told police that Herrera was an illegal immigrant and had a deportation notice lodged against him.

I'm curious... what upstanding company in the area was providing him with work? What is Jackson County/ Commerce doing about employers that encourage illegals to work here?
