A man shot and wounded by a border patrol agent during an immigration stop in Portland last week has pleaded not guilty to charges of aggravated assault against a federal officer and damaging federal property.
Luis David Nino-Moncada, who was taken into custody after sustaining an injury in the arm from the shooting, was indicted on Tuesday and entered his plea on Wednesday. The Department of Homeland Security alleges that Nino-Moncada, who is of Venezuelan descent, entered the US illegally and used his vehicle as a weapon when agents attempted to apprehend him.
