feeling powerful

On October 7, Federal ICE Agent Frank Figueroa bragged about his concern for children. After busting a head shop selling cartoon character bongs, he said:

“There’s no doubt that these items were made to make drug use attractive to kids and we simply will not tolerate this type of activity in our community.”

I guess pulling your junk out in front of children is a different story.

Figueroa was profiled in the Tribune just a short while ago. More recently he took credit for busting up a prostitution ring in Central Florida. Last week he was arrested for exposing himself in front of a 16-year-old girl at the mall. Authorities have videotaped evidence.

The entire affair is stomach-churning. A 49 year old man caught on tape fondling himself at the mall – in front of, and staring at a sixteen year old girl. This guy is a father to two young girls. He’s a law enforcement officer sworn to protect the public, who promised to focus on sexual predators.

Outrageous.

  4. [...] Documents were released on Monday that tell a few more creepy details of this case. After the brave 16 year old girl squealed on him, Fishhawk Ranch resident and Immigration and Customs agent Frank Figueroa attempted to flee the security offiers, tried the old “do you know who I am” routine by flashing his badge, then threw a fit when they detained him. I wonder if those actions made him appear innocent… [...]

  5. [...] It appears the case against Federal agent and Fishhawk Ranch resident Frank Figueroa is winding down. He pleaded no contest and will be sentenced next month. Until then he is free on bail with orders from the judge to: stay away from malls, public shopping areas and the victim. [...]
