Guadalupe Fermin Ramirez, 37, of Tucson, has been sentenced by United States District Judge John C. Hinderaker to 57 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. Ramirez pleaded guilty to assault on a Federal Officer on May 9, 2024.
On November 30, 2023, the Pascua Yaqui Police Department (PYPD) received a 911 call from an individual who reported that Ramirez had stolen his vehicle from his residence.
The investigation revealed that, after stealing the vehicle, Ramirez drove it to a gas station on the Pascua Yaqui Indian Reservation and attempted to steal another vehicle, a delivery truck. Ramirez took the delivery driver’s personal belongings from inside the truck and then fled from the area in the originally stolen vehicle.
During PYPD’s pursuit, Ramirez deliberately rammed into the driver’s side of a police car while driving approximately 45 mph. The victim officer was able to disengage his seatbelt and tuck toward the centre console of his vehicle before being struck to avoid injury, but the vehicle sustained substantial damage.
After hitting the police vehicle, Ramirez sped away and ran several stop signs, causing two other vehicles to collide. Ramirez was apprehended shortly thereafter and arrested.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Pascua Yaqui Police Department investigated this case.
