Border Patrol employee found 'covered in vomit' in St. Paul, charged with drunk driving

A U.S. Customs and Border Patrol employee was charged with drunken driving in St. Paul after a state trooper found him passed out in a car Tuesday morning “covered in vomit.”

The state trooper found 31-year-old Alfredo Mancillas Jr. of Corpus Christi, Texas, “slumped over in the driver’s seat” at 3:25 a.m. Tuesday in the Hamline-Midway neighborhood near Allianz Field, according to charges filed that day 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,” the charges allege.

After failing a field sobriety test, Mancillas 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.

I'm sure the other prisoners in the Ramsey County Jail loved being around him.

Promote and transfer him to the Department of Defense as Pete Hegseth’s drinking buddy.


I image that doing what he is doing In Minneapolis might cause him to drink.

There are enough ICE agents who are finding out what this job really entails and are going thru their own PTSD. Rather than drinking, there are other options though. They could just quit for one.

…. on there completion of their tour of duty. No doubt Mr. Mancillis will just be fired w/out
getting his money. And then he can go and drink himself to death.
