82 Year Old Victim Jailed while Illegal Alien Thieves Go Free

It all starts or stops at the border, close the border! What is Jefferson County DA Scott Storey thinking?

82-year-old Robert Wallace said in February that he looked out his window and saw two men hooking his flatbed trailer up to their pickup. He yelled at them to stop, but they sped away, stealing his trailer. He told police he fired two shots at the pickup.

Minutes later, police say 32-year-old Damacio Torres (Illegal Alien with multiple arrests) dropped 28-year-old Alvaro Cardona (Illegal Alien with multiple arrests) off at a hospital emergency room with a gunshot wound to the face.

Torres did not stay to talk with police, but they caught up with him later. According to court documents, he admitted he and Cardona stole the trailer. (Grand Theft Felony)(Trespass)

Wallace did not want to talk on camera, but when we asked him if the two men threatened him he said, "They almost ran me over." (Attempted Murder)

The Jefferson County DA's office said that neither Torres nor Cardona have been charged with anything at this point, even though Torres confessed to the crime. However, the homeowner, Wallace is facing twelve felony counts, including four counts of attempted first degree murder. If convicted, he could spend the rest of his life behind bars.

Wallace is out on bond and due back in court in September to enter his plea.

Neighbors say the thieves should be the ones facing charges and Wallace should be given an award for protecting the neighborhood.

So much for Serve and Protect. Close the Border!
