A Nicaraguan man living illegally in Pittsburgh<\/a> faces up to 20 years in prison after allegedly launching a violent attack on federal agents \u2013 ramming a law enforcement vehicle, trying to grab an officer\u2019s gun, and biting an agent \u2013 following a failed attempt to buy a firearm.<\/p>\n

A federal grand jury in Pittsburgh indicted 33-year-old Darwin Alexander Davila-Perez on Wednesday on a charge of assaulting a federal officer.<\/p>\n

The investigation began when the Department of Homeland Security learned that Davila-Perez had tried to buy a gun from a local dealer. During that transaction, he allegedly claimed to be a U.S. citizen.<\/p>\n

The sale was blocked after the dealer discovered he was a Nicaraguan national with no legal status<\/a> in the U.S. Federal law prohibits those in the country illegally from possessing or purchasing firearms.<\/p>\n

On Dec. 17, 2025, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents attempted to pull Davila-Perez over to take him into custody for immigration violations. When agents activated their emergency lights, Davila-Perez didn\u2019t pull over \u2013 he fought back, according to authorities.<\/p>\n

According to the indictment, Davila-Perez slammed his car into reverse, hitting an occupied law enforcement vehicle before jumping out to run.<\/p>\n

During the ensuing struggle, he allegedly elbowed one officer<\/a> in the face, tried to pull an agent\u2019s service weapon from its holster, bit an officer\u2019s arm and struck an agent in the forehead with a pair of handcuffs.<\/p>\n

The whole time, officers shouted commands in both English and Spanish<\/a> for Davila-Perez to stop and show his hands. However, authorities say he ignored those orders until he was eventually subdued.<\/p>\n

The struggle left several agents with bite wounds, scrapes and bruises that required medical treatment.<\/p>\n

If convicted, Davila-Perez faces a maximum of 20 years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000 or both.<\/p>\n

He remains in custody pending the resolution of the case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
