Border agent charged with assaulting police officer dies days after court appearance
A Southern California border agent charged with assaulting a Long Beach police officer outside a restaurant and resisting arrest last month died just two days after his most recent court appearance.
According to the coroner’s office in Riverside County, east of Los Angeles, Isaiah Anthony Hodgson died Friday. The manner of death is still under investigation.
Earlier in the week, Hodgson, 29, appeared in court and had a preliminary hearing set for late September, according to court documents.
He faced seven charges, including three counts of resisting arrest, one count of battery with injury to a police officer, one count of carrying a concealed firearm in public, one count of carrying a concealed firearm and one count of carrying a loaded firearm.
