Man shot by ICE officers in Stanislaus County indicted for alleged assault

STANISLAUS COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) -- A Salvadoran man has been indicted after he was shot in Stanislaus County last month.

36-year-old Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez faces two counts of assault on a federal officer with a deadly weapon and one count of destruction of government property after prosecutors say he used his car to assault on agents during an operation in Patterson.

Court documents say the officers were in Patterson to arrest Hernandez, who was a suspected gang member wanted in El Salvador.

Prosecutors say when they tried pulling him over, he drove forward, hit an agent with his car, then reversed backward, colliding with a law enforcement vehicle.

Agents then shot Hernandez, who was treated and then taken into FBI custody.

Hernandez's attorney and his family have said that his client is not a gang member and was on his way to work when the incident happened.
