What should have been a routine stop on U.S. Highway 57 turned serious when officers found a person hidden in a trunk. In a panic, Kevin Dominguez reversed the car, injuring an agent and putting lives at risk before being caught.
He was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison and supervised release—a decision meant to balance accountability with the human stakes. The message is clear: panic doesn’t excuse danger, and one reckless moment can change everything.
