It might have seemed like a Three Stooges routine — except the stakes were much higher for Jose Quinonez-Lopez, an alleged migrant smuggler, and the Border Patrol agent he was trying to escape from.
After a chase, the agent had caught up with Mr. Quinonez-Lopez and was straddling him to try to make an arrest when the smuggling suspect began jabbing the agent in the genitals. The agent moved his hand to block the jabs, and Mr. Quinonez-Lopez then poked the agent in the face. When the agent moved to protect his face, the suspect then ripped at his genitals again.
