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.

And all the left-wing nut cases want to do is talk crap about DeSantis. Wherever you clowns live we should send the illegals to your town.

@ron122 The migrants that DeathSantis kidnapped were here legally.

@BohemianBoo Wrong. Show me proof that they were here legally.

BohemianBoo · M

@ron122 They declared asylum, which means they have temporary legal status.

@BohemianBoo That doesn't prove that they are here legally.

BohemianBoo · M

@ron122 Of course it does. They declared asylum, so for the time being, they're here legally. They can't be deported unless they break a law.

@BohemianBoo I think I'll believe DeSantis over some dumb kid on the internet.

ron122 · 41-45, M

@ManKing This kid BooBoo just likes being a dumbass.

BohemianBoo · M

@ManKing Just because you disagree with the law, doesn't mean the law doesn't exist.
According to the law, the migrants are here legally.

BohemianBoo · M

@ron122 I provided a link and I can provide more if you'd like.
You can cry all you want, but according to the law, the migrants have temporary legal status.

@BohemianBoo No you're wrong.

@ron122 "Under U.S. immigration law, a person granted asylum is legally allowed to remain in the country without fear of deportation. They qualify to work, travel abroad and apply for their spouse or children under the age of 21 to join them."

@BohemianBoo No you're wrong.

@ron122 Facts don't care about your feelings.

@ManKing They will sue if they got injured crossing and some liberal stacked jury will award them

ron122 · 41-45, M

@BohemianBoo Or yours.

@ron122 i talk shit about DeSantis all the time. He's an awful man who wants to strip away trans and gay rights.

My town? Orlando, Florida. Think DeSantis will try to find more in Texas again or will he actually try to get some locally this time and just shuttle them from miami?

Bill1372 · 51-55, M

@ViciDraco why is he awful? I’m curious why you think that. You say he wants to strip gay rights but give me an example and not an opinion.

ViciDraco · 36-40, M

@Bill1372 the whole legislation to not speak about sexual orientation or gender in schools is the prime example.

He also bungled Florida's covid response.

He's against a woman's right to bodily autonomy.

He's against granting ex-felons who served their time the right to vote again.

He's on record opposing Gay marriage

He voted against reauthorization of the violence against women act.

Bill1372 · 51-55, M

@ViciDraco bungled floridas COVID response? Is that before or after all the democrats that shut down their states visited there or after? You still state many opinion like how he handled COVID. I think he was spot on. I’m so glad I didn’t get duped into that bullshit vax… it was a farce
