DEL RIO, Texas (AP) - A Customs and Border Protection agent has been indicted for allegedly assaulting a 15-year-old in custody.
A federal grand jury in Del Rio indicted Jesus E. Diaz Jr. on Wednesday, accusing him of using unreasonable force on the teen in an alleged violation of the 15-year-old's constitutional rights.
U.S. Attorney's Office spokesman Daryl Fields said said he could release no details about the October 2008 incident that led to the charge against Diaz.
The 31-year-old agent is out on bond.
