A former agent with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been accused of impersonating an immigration officer during a foiled attempt to help an inmate escape from a local jail in Kansas. A criminal complaint made public Thursday charges Andrew J. Pleviak, 41, with attempted aiding of escape
WICHITA, Kan. — A former agent with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been accused of impersonating an immigration officer during a foiled attempt to help an inmate escape from a local jail in Kansas.
Pleviak is accused of falsely identifying himself to jail officials as ICE Supervisor Doug Thompson, who is an actual ICE agent in Wichita, in several phone calls seeking the release of inmate Juan Diego Tapia-Alfaro, according to a probable cause affidavit. He allegedly told prison officials the inmate was an informant in a huge case ICE had been working on for more than a year and the inmate needed to be released.
Kingman County Sheriff Randy Hill said Pleviak and the Kingman County inmate he was trying to free had a"working relationship," apparently involving some type of construction work.
