FBI terminates Las Vegas-based agent who shot at police sergeant in Michigan in December
The FBI released a statement Tuesday announcing the termination of a Las Vegas-based agent who shot at a police sergeant in Michigan in December.
Ruben Hernandez, 35, pleaded no contest to felonious assault Friday. He was arrested Dec. 6 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, after brandishing a gun at a Planet Fitness. He is accused of firing three shots at the responding sergeant.
