A Border Patrol agent freed a local farmer caught between
heavy farming machinery Saturday.
Agent Alfonso Lopez was patrolling an area near Bentsen State Park when he noticed a farmer
waving him down from afar, according to a news release issued Tuesday by the
U.S. Border Patrol.
When Lopez approached the farmer, he realized the man's leg
was caught by equipment hydraulics between a tractor and a hay bailer.
Lopez disengaged the levers to loosen the hydraulics and
allow Justin Acevedo to free himself.
Other than swelling and bruising, Acevedo is "faring well,"
according to the news release.
