Deputies arrived around 9: 36 am ( local time ) after receiving multiple reports of an attempted flag theft, as per Fox News. When they arrived, authorities located her white coupe parked in the wet grass next to the pole.
When park rangers confronted Aguilar, she shouted, “You’re not going to show me what to do, this is Mexican territory, motherf***er”!.
She therefore resisted arrest, with soldiers restraining her as she threatened their people.
” Touch me, motherf***ker, and when your kids die… I’m Mexican. I’m Ancient, motherf***ker and you’re going to pay”.
She even yelled,” My dad is going to shoot you and all your home”.
