A former FBI agent who shot at a Grand Rapids police officer is going to jail.
24 Hour News 8 reports, Judge Dennis Leiber Thursday ruled he would not adhere to the no jail part of a plea deal for former agent Ruben Manuel Hernadez, instead sentencing him to 135 days in jail.
Leiber told the tearful Hernandez that regardless of who you are, if you a fire a gun at an officer, you are going to jail.
Hernandez previously pleaded no contest to felonious assault; in turn, the prosecution dropped charges of assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder and brandishing a weapon in public.
Hernandez and his partner John Salazar came to Grand Rapids from Las Vegas in December to conduct interviews on an undisclosed case.
Defense attorney Larry Willey said Hernandez may have had a “paranoid” episode at the time of the incident. He said alcohol may have played a factor.
Hernandez was fired by the FBI following the incident.
