HEMET, Calif. (KABC) — A U.S. Border Patrol agent accused of assaulting<\/a> a Long Beach police officer died of an overdose weeks later at his parents’ Riverside County home, the Long Beach Post<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

According to the newspaper, Isaiah Hodgson’s attorney told a Long Beach Superior Court judge that Hodgson died in August.<\/p>\n

The body of Hodgson, 29, was found around 12:45 p.m. Aug. 22 when deputies responded to a home in the 25000 block of Avocet Circle in an unincorporated area near Hemet, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.<\/p>\n

“When deputies arrived, they located the male and pronounced him deceased,” sheriff’s officials said in a statement. “Deputies did not locate any evidence of foul play.”<\/p>\n

Additional details about the cause of death were not available.<\/p>\n

Hodgson was reportedly one of the agents involved in an immigration raid in June in Pico Rivera<\/a> in which Adrian Martinez — a 20-year-old U.S. citizen – was detained, according to Martinez’s lawyer.<\/p>\n

Hodgson was also charged with assaulting a Long Beach police officer and resisting arrest for a July 7 incident at the Shoreline Village parking lot.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles County district attorney’s office claimed Hodgson was “off-duty, intoxicated, and armed with a handgun” while at a restaurant. He allegedly entered the women’s restroom and approached a woman who saw his handgun, according to a statement from the DA’s office.<\/p>\n

A U.S. Border Patrol agent accused of drunkenly fighting a Long Beach police officer was found dead in a Riverside County home, authorities say.<\/p>\n

He left the restaurant soon after the woman alerted the manager that Hodgson was armed, the statement said.<\/p>\n

The DA’s office said Hodgson was allegedly approached by a security guard who saw Hodgson holding a firearm magazine and a firearm on his waistband.<\/p>\n

Long Beach police officers responded to the scene and tried to detain Hodgson, but he refused to cooperate, according to authorities.<\/p>\n

“As Hodgson resisted arrest, he allegedly became agitated and physical with the officers, injuring one of them,” prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

At the time of his death, Hodgson was facing several charges, including three felony counts of resisting arrest and one felony count of battery with injury on a peace officer.<\/p>\n

An autopsy report is pending.<\/p>\n
