Illegal Immigrant With Fake Name Killed Deputy and Hid, Sheriff Says

TAMPA (FLV) – The Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said an illegal immigrant killed Deputy Michael Hartwick after running into him with a front loader Thursday night.

Juan Ariel Molina-Salles, a construction worker, struck Deputy Hartwick at a construction zone on I-275 in St. Petersburg while he was on duty. Molina-Salles then ran from the scene to hide from officers, according to the sheriff. He was charged with leaving the scene of an accident involving death, a first-degree felony.

Sheriff Gualtieri said Molina-Salles entered the country illegally in October of 2021 after previously being denied entry to the U.S. by Border Patrol and sent back.

“There is no record of him ever legally coming back into the United States and he is here illegally,” Gualtieri said.

The sheriff also arrested Elieser Aurelio Gomez-Zelaya, who had previously given deputies a fake name. Gomez-Zelaya is accused of hiding Molina-Salles’ uniform after the deputy was hit. Gomez-Zelaya was arrested on a charge of being an accessory after the fact.

Now we know why Gov. DeSantis is sending these people to Martha's Vineyard and Deleware.

@Barefooter25 No LEGAL immigrant, asylum seeker, or natural born American would EVER do something like that,right? So with more white, wealthy, native born Americans, everyone in our country will be so much safer, right?

@StevexStephie sure, no problem there.

Bill1372 · 51-55, M

@Barefooter25 and should continue to do so.

@StevexStephie With fewer criminals here, yes they will. Any other stupid virtue signalling questions?

HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M

@StevexStephie That's not the point. The illegal immagrant shouldn't be here in the first place.

He sent people who were here legally.

@HoraceGreenley Yes, but I know Fascists don't care about facts.

HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M

@BohemianBoo According to whom?

BohemianBoo · M

@HoraceGreenley According to reality.
The migrants were here legally, but you're going to keep saying they were illegal immigrants, correct? Because the facts don't matter to you.

HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M

@BohemianBoo I've never seen that reported anywhere. i've only seen reports that they are illegal.

Maybe you should see your psychiatrist more often.

BohemianBoo · M

@HoraceGreenley Well you only watch far-right media.

HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M

@BohemianBoo I'm checking all the websites too as we speak.

You must only be watching far left-media

@HoraceGreenley https://www.masslive.com/news/2022/09/are-the-migrants-flown-to-marthas-vineyard-legally-in-the-us-this-and-other-questions-explained.html

But again, you're a Fash, so you don't care. You'll keep saying they're here illegally.

Barefooter25 · 46-50, M

@BohemianBoo Seriously???? 🤣😅🤣

HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M

@BohemianBoo I live in Massachusettts and the media here has as tenuous grasp on reality as you do.

"Tens of thousands of migrants who [i]cross the border illegally[/i] from Mexico are released in the United States each month with notices to appear in immigration court to pursue asylum or on humanitarian parole with requirements to report regularly to immigration authorities."

The italics are mine, but the point is, they are in the US illegally. If they were in the US legally they wouldn't need to appear in immigration court.

You should go lie down until you feel better.

@BohemianBoo Illegal aliens are suddenly legal aliens? When did that happen?

HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M

@Barefooter25 Hard to grasp, isn't it?

BohemianBoo · M

@sunsporter1649 They were asylum seekers. They declared asylum so were allowed to remain here legally. Their legal status is temporary, but for now, they're legal.

HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M

@sunsporter1649 Only with tortured logic.

BohemianBoo · M

@HoraceGreenley

Are the migrants legally in the US?

Yes, temporarily. Tens of thousands of migrants who cross the border illegally from Mexico are released in the United States each month with notices to appear in immigration court to pursue asylum or on humanitarian parole with requirements to report regularly to immigration authorities. Migrants may seek asylum if they enter the country illegally under U.S. and international law, and U.S. authorities have broad authority to grant parole based on individual circumstances.

Migrants must keep a current address with authorities, who schedule appointments in a city with the nearest court or immigration office. They must apply separately for permission to work.

@BohemianBoo I can say I'm a 22 year old Thai Beauty queen, but that doesn't make it so.

HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M

@BohemianBoo

BohemianBoo · M

@HoraceGreenley Well we're talking about law here. Legally speaking, the migrants are considered legal for the time being.

HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M

@BohemianBoo No they are not. They are here illegally which is why they must appear in immigration court. They can be deported at any time for breaking the law.

Just because the federal government is allowing them to remain in the US temporarily doesn't change their status as entering the country illegally.
