MADISON, North Carolina -- An anonymous phone tip to the Crime Stoppers hotline last month led to one of the Madison Police Department’s most unusual investigations.
About 8 a.m. on Thursday, Madison officers joined Rockingham County sheriff’s deputies and agents from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at Pine Hall Brick Co. on Lindsey Bridge Road. They were there to take an employee, Juan Herrara Gonzalez, into federal custody.
Gonzalez, 46, of 205 Carmel Drive in Stoneville was arrested on federal charges of entering the United States after being deported.
In the course of the investigation, Webster said it was discovered that Gonzalez had served prison time in California and been deported.
“He was charged with murder and pled that down to manslaughter,” he said. “He served eight years in California before being deported to Mexico.
