Oliver Kasprizik has returned to Germany after taking Mikey from us - maybe if had tried to flee he would still be here.
Since Kasprizik wasn't here illegally - is it really acceptable in our system for him to leave the country so easily?
HOLLAND, MI -- An illegal immigrant who allegedly caused a fatal crash by turning in front of a motorcyclist was charged Thursday with trying to leave the scene of the deadly collision.
Rodrigo Delacruz-Encarnacion, 25, is jailed on a $100,000 bond following his arraignment in Holland District Court on the felony, which is punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
Police say Delacruz-Encarnacion is responsible for killing William O'Brien, 52, of Holland in an 8 p.m. Wednesday crash. O'Brien was driving his 1996 Harley-Davidson south on Butternut Drive when the suspect's minivan turned into the path of his motorcycle.
O'Brien could not avoid the crash, and struck the passenger side of the van. He died at the scene. His family declined to comment on the accident.
Ottawa County sheriff's Lt. Steve Kempker said witnesses had to detain Delacruz-Encarnacion at the scene of the crash until police arrived. He was arrested and taken to the Ottawa County Jail.
The suspect has been in the country illegally since the spring and has been working odd jobs and living in migrant camps, police said. He allegedly had fraudulent identification when he was arrested.
Authorities believe Delacruz-Encarnacion is a risk for fleeing the area since he has no ties to Holland.AURORA, Colo. (Map, News) - A man accused in a hit-and-run crash that killed three people in Aurora is scheduled to appear in court Monday.
Aurora police say 23-year-old Francis Hernandez was the driver of an SUV that ran a red light on Thursday, crashed into a pickup, and pushed it into a Baskin Robbins ice cream shop.
Two women in the pickup died instantly, and a toddler who was inside the shop died later at a hospital.
A memorial of cards, flowers, candles and stuffed animals is growing outside the store.
Immigration officials say it appears Hernandez was born outside the U.S., and have placed a hold on him. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Carl Rusnok says that means Hernandez will be handed over to immigration authorities if the state releases him.
