ORANGE COUNTY, Florida -- Illegal Immigrant Arrested For Attack on Tourist
Orange County Sheriff’s Deputies said 18 year old Pedro Ramirez followed a woman from the pool at the Marriott Grande Vista Resorts, near I-Drive in Orlando, to her room on Saturday. She told investigators that since he had an employee uniform, she was not concerned.
Detectives say Ramirez went on to threaten the woman with a knife and then grope her, but she managed to fight him off. He reportedly ran away, but deputies tracked him down. They said he was working at the resort, but had three fake identification cards and is here illegally from Mexico.
He was booked into the Orange County Jail. The woman, who is visiting from Wisconsin, is said to be okay.
