ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — Federal agents shared that Michel Manuel Garcia Rojas was sentenced to 51 months in prison for assaulting a federal agent. Rojas plead guilty on February 9. He was originally arrested by Rotterdam police for trying to steal $150 worth of groceries while trying to hide some food at the register under a child.

“Any defendant who seeks inspiration from Mr. Garcia Rojas should be on notice,” said Sarcone. “If you assault a federal agent or any member of law enforcement, this administration will leverage the weight of the federal government.” MORE AT Officials share sentence for man that assaulted agent
