If President Donald Trump is serious about constructing a great wall along the southern U.S. border, he might want to think about putting at least a decent electrical fence across our Northern one, too.
An Indian citizen wanted for felony attempted fetal homicide in Wisconsin, and who's been on the run for nearly 10 years, was just arrested by border agents last Friday after he illegally entered the United States from Canada.
U.S. Border Patrol agents from Swanton Sector’s Burke Station arrested a 43-year-old, male, Indian citizen that entered the U.S. illegally from Canada last week. Manish Patel was apprehended after he entered the U.S. without presenting himself for inspection and also was found to be wanted for multiple felony charges including attempted homicide of an unborn child.
Manishkumar Patel, now 43, was charged in 2007 with attempted fetal homicide after he spiked his pregnant girlfriend’s smoothie with abortion drugs to try and force her to miscarry. About 50 of his relatives and friends got him out of jail on a $750,000 bond before he skipped town and headed back to India, costing all those people their money.
According to a Fox News report at the time, Patel was also charged with stalking, burglary and two counts of violating a restraining order.
Patel’s girlfriend, Darshana, said she first noticed something was wrong when Patel -- who was actually married to someone else -- handed her a smoothie that had a suspicious powder on the rim. She feigned illness and didn’t drink it, but instead secretly sent the power to a lab for testing. The drug ended up being RU-486, a strictly regulated abortion drug that Patel said he had gotten from India.
Unfortunately, she miscarried the baby while waiting for the test results.
Patel’s been missing for nearly 10 years following his arrest and release, but all that came to an end last Friday when agents said they encountered a suspicious vehicle coming across the Canadian border through a port of entry. According to their report, they let the vehicle pass but stopped it several hours later in Bangor, N.Y. and arrested Patel.
Patel was then turned over to U.S. Marshals and will be extradited to Wisconsin, where he’ll answer for his crimes.
