A U.S. Customs and Border Patrol employee was arrested by Minnesota police who found him slumped over his steering wheel while “covered in vomit.”
A Minnesota state trooper found 31-year-old Alfredo Mancillas Jr. of Corpus Christi, Texas, passed out at the wheel in the Hamline-Midway neighborhood of St. Paul, according to charges filed by the St. Paul City Attorney’s Office.
“His car was parked in a no-parking zone and smelled like alcohol while Mancillas himself had ‘bloodshot and watery eyes,” according to the Sahan Journal.
After Mancillas failed a sobriety test and refused to submit a breathalyzer test, he was arrested, booked into the Ramsey County jail and charged with 3rd and 4th degree driving while impaired.
A spokesperson with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security told the Journal that, “On Jan.27, an employee of Custom and Border Protection was arrested by Minnesota State Troopers for driving under the influence in Saint Paul, MN.”
“CBP stresses honor and integrity in every aspect of our mission, and the overwhelming majority of CBP employees and officers perform their duties with honor and distinction, working tirelessly every day to keep our country safe,” the spokesperson wrote in a statement.
Mancillas appeared in court and was released on his own recognizance, according to court records.
This latest arrest of federal agents comes in the wake of several others, including off-duty agent Abel Garza, who was arrested in Laredo, Texas, for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after allegedly pointing a firearm at a woman during a domestic incident.
In December 2025, agent Luis Uribe was charged with 10 counts of deprivation of civil rights for allegedly operating as a “serial rapist.” Prosecutors claim he used his law enforcement position to sexually assault and rob women at gunpoint in Chicago-area hotels.
In July 2025, agent Harry Marvelle Peless III was charged with attempting to transfer obscene material to a minor after communicating with an undercover FBI officer.
