Fed agents tackle accused drunk driver from Venezuela in NH courthouse as elderly bystander knocked down in melee, wild video shows

Federal agents cornered a Venezuelan man in a New Hampshire courthouse elevator before tackling him as he tried to flee — and taking down an elderly bystander in the melee, wild security footage shows.

Video released Monday from the Nashua Circuit Court shows two agents throwing 33-year-old Arnuel Marquez Colmenarez down to the floor and handcuffing him just outside an elevator on Feb. 20.

An elderly man with a cane, who also rode the elevator with the agents and Colmenarez, was knocked to the floor during the confrontation. He was seen writhing in pain on his back.

Another older man who was in the elevator with the group tried to speak to the agents while they held Marquez Colmenarez down, the footage shows.

The agents tapped Marquez Colmenarez on the shoulder as he was exiting the elevator. They spoke to him briefly before he tried to escape through the doors, making it just a few feet before the agents pinned him to the ground and barrelled into the man with the cane.

Marquez Colmenarez was appearing in court to face an arraignment on charges for drunken driving, driving without a license and failing to provide information after an accident all filed on Feb. 9, according to Nashua police.

Jared Neff, a court liaison officer for the Hudson Police Department, helped the agents restrain Marquez Colmenarez after overhearing a loud commotion near the elevator.

“There were voices yelling, ‘Stop!’ and then a loud ‘bang,’ which sounded like people had fallen on the ground and were actively fighting and struggling,” he wrote in an incident report.

I was just getting ready to say the Venezuelans seem to be more rotten than most. Not surprising coming from a commie country…well Ok , leftist Wiki claims they are a “representative demicracy”. In truth they were voted as the most repressive government in 2023 in Latin America and Chavez embraces “21st century socialism”. But yeah they are democratic…😆.

Now of course 8 people with Venezuelan sugar babies and GFs will tell me how great they all are…

FR is becoming a place for sound-bite level thinking.

the vz immigrants who came the normal way over the last 23+ years were their educated/professional upper-middle class or better. education and/or wealthy, many opened businesses where they landed or brought skills of use (and mostly were bilingual).

what came across the land border the last few years as best as I can tell was some deal to empty prisons in vz and send them here. that is what this article sounds like.

Maduro emptied his prisons as a cost-saving move and sent all the inmates to the US.

Castro in Cuba did the same thing during the Carter administration. Did you see Scarface?

Invasions are Invasions.

Attempted takeovers.

Slow motion.

“The agents asserted they were working on orders to detain illegal immigrants and had tried to apprehend Marquez Colmenarez in the elevator before he fled, Neff said. “

“Marquez Colmenarez was sent to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Texas, where he remained as of Monday, according to an online database.

YES! He was ILLEGAL. Had to read to the end of the story to find out.

Oh huh yea they didn't mention that at the beginning. It's just the default assumption for most foreigners in the court system. Legal aliens tend to be on good behavior!
