4 illegals are facing
assault charges
Lakewood man was beaten with bat
LAKEWOOD — Four Hackett Street men were charged Tuesday
in connection with the assault of a township man and are being held
in lieu of bail and on immigration detainers, police said.
About 8 p.m. Aug. 23, Officer Kelly Zrebiec responded to a report
of a fight and discovered Anselmo Mendoza of Lakewood beaten with
a baseball bat and a shovel, said Detective Lt. Joseph Isnardi. Detectives
Oscar Valmon and Steve Wexler investigated the assault and arrested
four men about 6 p.m. Tuesday at their home in the 600 block
of Hackett Street.
Ezequiel Ramirez-Garcia, 24, and brothers Jose Alvarado-Gonzalez, 22,
and Rudolfo Alvarado-Gonzalez, 19, were each charged with aggravated
assault, possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for an unlawful
purpose. A fourth man, Sylvester Ramos-Ruiz, was charged with making
terroristic threats.
Police said that Ramirez-Garcia struck Mendoza with a shovel, and
the Alvarado-Gonzalez brothers both struck him with a baseball
bat, police said.
Mendoza suffered a head laceration and required both staples and
stitches to close his wounds, Isnardi said.
Another Lakewood man, Samuel Mendoza, was also injured when he
was struck with a shovel, police said. The relationship between Anselmo
and Samuel is unknown, police said. Both were taken to Kimball Medical
Center, here, for treatment.
All four suspects are undocumented illegal aliens and have been
issued no-bail detainers by Immigration and Customs Enforcement to keep
them in jail until immigration matters can be clarified, police said. The
Alvarado-Gonzalez brothers and Ramirez-Garcia are each being held in
lieu of $75,000 bail with no 10 percent option. Ramos-Ruiz's bail is set at
$10,000 with no 10 percent option.
