WASHINGTON - In the second violent crime connected with the failed
Fast and Furious program, two Arizona undercover police officers were
allegedly assaulted last year trying to stop two men in a stolen
vehicle containing two weapons linked to the program.
The Arizona Department of Public Safety officers said they tried to
stop the men south of Phoenix when the driver rammed their cars,
threatened them with the firearms and fled into the desert. They were
caught and arrested, and a Beretta pistol and AK-47 semiautomatic
assault rifle were found in the stolen Ford truck, police said.
The driver, Angel Hernandez-Diaz, 48, was charged with aggravated
assault on a police officer, driving a stolen vehicle and illegal
possession of weapons. He pleaded not guilty and is scheduled to
stand trial in Pinal County next month. The passenger, Rosario
Zavala, 30, of Mexico, was charged with possession of narcotics and
the stolen vehicle.
The episode came five months after the start of the Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' Fast and Furious program,
in which agents allowed the illegal purchase of weapons to try to
track the firearms to Mexican drug cartels. And it occurred nine
months before the slaying last December of U.S. Border Patrol Agent
Brian Terry south of Tucson.
Two Fast and Furious firearms were discovered at the scene of Terry's
shooting. Sources said that this is the first case so far of Fast and
Furious weapons found at the scene of a violent crime other than
Terry's.
