Brute on FBI’s ‘most wanted’ list for tossing cinderblock during anti-ICE riots is finally busted at border

The masked brute accused of hurling concrete blocks at federal agents during the violent anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles has finally been arrested — getting cuffed at the border by one of the agents he targeted, authorities said.

Elpidio Reyna, who was put on the FBI’s wanted list over last month’s chaos, was busted Wednesday at the US-Mexico border.

“He was taken into custody by a US Border Patrol officer who was inside one of the vehicles damaged in the attack — a brave law enforcement officer who could have been killed in last month’s dangerous and reckless attack,” US Attorney Bill Essayli said.

The 39-year-old Compton man was allegedly caught on camera brazenly throwing the blocks at FBI vehicles as they drove by him in Paramount on June 8.

Reyna had initially fled to Mexico after authorities blasted out images of him to track him down, authorities said.

He was detained by Mexican authorities in the state of Sinaloa earlier this month but later agreed to surrender to the FBI.

Reyna was taken into custody at the San Ysidro Port of Entry on a felony charge of assault on a federal officer, authorities said.

“To anyone who thinks they can attack federal officers and hide behind a mask or helmet, Reyna’s arrest today proves we can find and charge anyone who violates federal law,” Essayli said.

Attorney General Pamela Bondi hailed his arrest, saying, “You can run, but you can not hide. If you attack a law enforcement officer, we’ll find you.”
