A woman who tried to run over U.S. Border Patrol agents assisting in the arrest of two illegal immigrants in Maine was arrested this week, authorities said.
Olivia Wilkins, 24, was charged with aggravated reckless conduct, criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon, driving to endanger, hindering apprehension, obstructing government administration and failure to stop for an officer, the Department of Homeland Security said.
The Border Patrol agents were assisting the Maine State Police (MSP) and the Knox County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) with a commercial vehicle rollover accident Monday involving Jhoan Andres Ortiz-Calderon and Victor Hugo Cardona-Calderon.
Ortiz-Calderon had a final order of removal from an immigration judge, and Cardona-Calderon overstayed his visa and had not obtained a work permit, authorities said.
While walking the two men to a USBP vehicle, Wilkins, a bystander, began verbally abusing authorities, DHS said.
"She then used her vehicle to drive at the group of law enforcement, squealing the tires and swerving, nearly hitting them," a news release states.
Sheriff's deputies chased Wilkins, who crashed her vehicle along the side of a road, where she was arrested.
