Nogales Border Patrol agent pleads guilty to intentionally striking migrant with truck

5. Not saying what this jackass did was right (it wasn't) but per the article, he didn't run him over.

Lopez Aguilar tried to run, and Bowen drove up behind him in his truck, and "bumped" him once, then did it again and knocked him down. According to another agent's statement, he stopped the truck inches before running Lopez Aguilar over. After being detained, he was taken to hospital with abrasions to one hand and both knees. Bowen then lied in his written report about the incident, which is quite a surprise (that's sarcasm, just in case).

My guess is that he's getting the lowest possible charge because he's doing a plea deal, and because he's a law enforcement officer. It's definitely not right, but prosecutors do plea deals for lesser charges every day, and for all manner of crimes.
