LAKE COUNTY, Fla. -- Five men, including four illegal immigrants have been caught after cops say they attacked a Lake County deputy. It happened on Long Acres Road in Sorrento, just off State Road 46, Sunday night.
Lake County sheriff's deputies used their helicopter to search the area in an attempt to find the men who beat up Deputy Cliff McMennamy.
"You wouldn't think a noise complaint would generate something like that," the deputy told Eyewitness News in an interview over the phone Monday morning.
McMennamy said he was checking out a complaint of a loud party when 35-year-old Miguel Gomez threw a beer bottle at his car. McMennamy chased him down and hit him with a taser. The deputy said he was then surrounded.
McMennamy was punched above his right eye, hit with a beer bottle and even kicked in the jaw.
"While it was in progress, my worst fear was one of them having a weapon, a gun or a knife," he said.
Before they took his taser and bullets, McMennamy tried to radio for help, but it didn't get reception.
Amazingly, he used his cell phone to call while he fought away the attackers. The Lake County Sheriff's Office says their motivation was murder; they were trying to pull the gun from his holster.
"This is a bad situation that could have been worse," said Sgt. John Herrell, Lake County Sheriff's Office.
The 27-year-old deputy has been a member of the sheriff's office for two years. He said he'll be back to work on Wednesday.
"It won't be hard. I wouldn't trade this job for the world," he said.
Deputies are still looking for seven other men involved in the attack. Four of the five men they've caught are going to be deported since they were in the country illegally.
CW2 Ping.
So much for illegal aliens “hiding in the shadows.” They are ready to fight, even fight cops. If they had succeeded in wrestling his pistol away, the officer would be dead.
Note that this all started with a noise complaint, and the perps then escalated to mob violence. Coming soon to a barrio near you that used to be a middle class American neighborhood, thanks to the open border traitors.
Live and learn, deputy.
Paging John McCain...
Deporting them so they can slip back in. They should be on a chain gang, building a wall and paying taxes.
I’m sure John McCain doesn’t have to worry about this in his neighborhood. To him, illegals just mean cheap labor for his buddies. The only time they are seen in his gated community is when they are pushing lawnmowers.
At least tattoo a big D on their foreheads before deporting them.
Third World here we come. These depraved invaders screwed up their own hellholes now they’re screwing up our country.
Another incident reported here-—traffic cop stopped a latina for driving infraction—her son physically attacked the officer. The officer responded with several charges. The latinos then lawyered up and organized a march bleating they were “victims” of police brutality (planning to cash in bigtime).
McCainiac is a dupe of these hyphenates. They have no intention of assimiliating-—they are an occupying force with their own foreign agenda——to undermine US soverignity. Heaven help us.
We’ll get more of the same with John McCain.
This would have been a good time to shoot them. This could really have gotten out of hand.
A LOT more. And then they will claim to "be in charge" after they "take over." Then the game is on.
This is only about a hundred miles from your neighborhood, right?
More or less.
CW2 indeed.
Even 1,200 miles North of the Border, here in the Socialist State of Waashington, it is becoming clearer by the day. Where there were few to be seen,except for harvest time in the Ag areas, they now appear (usually in groups of 4 or more) everywhere.
Coming out of the shadows is an understatement... Anyplace one ventures, they are there, many with the "Hate Whitey" glare and attitude in their eyes. Gang grafitti is ubiquitous. Spanish is replacing English in the marketplace...
My son in law is (or WAS!) the owner of a general contracting company. No longer. There is no way he can compete with the illegal aliens that now under bid him by up to %50! Tough Times for Gringos in the trades!
B.L.O.A.T. !!!
I’m in the process of having a new house built nearby in Mt Dora. The house is just south of state route 46 and a little west of Sorento. Closing is scheduled by April 18th.
The house is fully equipped with video cameras and various alarms. There are sensors on all the doors and windows as well as smoke alarms and glass break detectors feeding into a monitored alarm system.
I had received a prophetic word through a prophet friend that I should have a full security system installed including video cameras to monitor the house. It didn’t make much sense at the time I received the word because the community is a new very nice gated community and it was thought to be in a low crime area.
We also have two dogs, A Rottweiler and a Pinscher so I am not worried about safety.
I am currently living in the Longwood area and my wife and I have been driving through Sorrento twice a week to monitor the construction on the new house.
“Spanish is replacing English in the marketplace...”
My neighbor has worked for a VERY large bank for about 20years, she says she is getting threats of firing from her Hispanic boss because she refuses to learn Spanish.
The majority of her coworkers are bilingual so she feels like they have all the interpreters they need in the branch.
No Country for Young Men it seems.
Sounds as if you have a very good security system in place.
I hope you never have any trouble there.
But speaking of "there", if you need to go to such lengths to protect your property, are you sure it is a good idea to move there?
re: started with a noise complaint
Our neighborhood has been invaded by scores of illegals, at least I assume they’re illegal. They will rent a two or three bedroom house and within a week there will be a dozen or so pick up trucks there every night. The worst part is that they are noisy, often partying on the weekends until the wee small hours of the morning. Another problem is that it doesn’t take long for the property to begin to suffer from abuse and neglect. We also have quite a few legal immigrants in the neighborhood and they, without exception, are great neighbors. They take great care of their houses and lawns and are always very friendly when encountered on the street or in a store. They are the most vocal opponents of the illegals that move in and take over rental property.
Part of me would like to sell and move to another neighborhood but we’ve been at this address for 40 plus years now and it’s home to us having raised our three children here. The city, by way of its zoning regulations, tries to keep things under control but it can take six months or more for the system to grind through the process of getting them to move out. By that time the property is usually worthless, in fact it’s a liability to the owner who has to foot the bill for restoring it. Several of the houses have simply been torn down and the lots now sit vacant.
Under Bush, that flow became a TORRENT!
He CLEARLY doesn’t care WHAT we think!
DO TRY TO GET THAT MEMORY OVER THE TRADITIONAL 20 NANOSECOND LEVEL AND HOLD THE THOUGHT THROUGH NOVEMBER ’08!
In ABSTRACT terms, this is the conspiratorial view of what’s going on vis-à-vis the INVASION of the illegals here:
The current alien invasion from the south serves BOTH the elites who run Mexico – and many of the OTHER states of Central and South America -- and the political ruling class who increasingly run the United States:
· It takes pressure off the 60 or so families who control approximately 80% of the wealth in Mexico. Without the northern “safety valve” (the United States) for their poor, those poor MIGHT be inclined to do what America’s early colonists found it necessary to do: Revolt! Parenthetically, that would be MY suggestion for them: Instead of fleeing here – and converting “here” to a larger, more poverty infested version of “there,” they ought to stay there and make “there” into their version of “here,” whatever that would be. Revolutions ARE messy and there are no guarantees that they will produce the desired result. But – according to one T. Jefferson – they are often necessary. Never forget that THIS country was born in revolution!
· For the NAFTA/CAFTA coveting US national ruling class – especially those who, in varying degrees, quest after some sort of One-World utopia run by guess who? – it provides yet another level of insecurity and tension among the indigenous populace which can be used to justify new and more draconian limits to freedom here. Instead of securing the borders, allow millions of illegals to come in and when the natives become alarmed, require a national ID card. “Your papers, please!” will soon become a phrase familiar to all. It’s Mr. Franklin’s trade of freedom for (false) security. It’s also the time-tested Hegelian Dialectic the One-Worlders have successfully worked like a rented mule.
While they occasionally squabble among themselves, the elites of history have ALL had one thing in common: They will do ANYTHING to remain in charge. And throughout that history, except for the 230 year-old experiment in freedom called “America,” most of the men who have walked the earth have lived as slaves to these elites whether they call themselves kings, emperors, potentates, sultans, czars – or presidents.
Get ready, folks. Unless some SERIOUS changes are made and the handful of Americans who CARE about liberty get involved, that history will almost certainly repeat here.
Now for the SPECIFICS of the matter:
My take on Bush's role in all of this is:
1. His long and apparently positive experience with the large hispanic population in Texas is largely responsible for his inaction on this alien invasion. And why wouldn't HIS experience with them be positive as he traveled in the highest, best-educated circles among them, not the Hispanic gangbangers and pine-straw spreaders...
2. Boy Jorge Bush was cared for by a Hispanic nanny for many years while his daddy was running Zapata Oil (into the ground).
3. His brother Jeb is married to a native of Mexico and his nieces and nephews are mixed blood. And before you scream "ethnocentric bigot" at me, there's nothing inherently wrong with that. But that fact -- and items 1 and 2 – DO predispose him to a warm and fuzzy feeling for folks from south of the Rio Grande.
And if -- in some strange and metastasizing American desire for a new royal family dynasty -- Jeb or his son should win the White House in some future presidential beauty contest designed to divert the American electorate every four years, I'd bet that HIS activities toward this alien invasion will make W's behavior look like a warm-up exercise.
Any vestige of Western European culture will be a distant memory.
Okay....I’ve printed it. I’m going to start faxing these stories to my Sens and Congresscritters and McCain. I made it a mission during the McCain Kennedy fiasco and I guess I’ll start again. This is getting to be too much and I’ve had it. If it’s civil war that they are asking for then I’m not so certain that that isn’t what they’re going to get.
I wish they would do this to some of the illegal loving politicians.
Thank You.
I’ve been saying for years that the US is headed for serious civil troubles.
Most of the time folks just ignore my comments. That’s fine, I’ll be prepared for when the time comes and so will my extended family..
just my thoughts.
Jeb’s wife is not Mexican.
I’m sorry but that borders on ridiculous. GWB’s immigration stance is directly tied to the economy. He knows we don’t have the manpower needed to keep the economy strong. People who get free money won’t work!
I'm a little surprised he didn't run afoul of a "Cucamonga Boxing Glove".
Thanks for the PING
Another reason to send back up routinely for disturbance calls.
Oh, and another reason to seal the borders.
I've been saying for years - Quit using the brute strength of government to take money away from people who work to give to people who won't work and Americans will be coming out of the woodwork to "do the jobs Americans won't do".
What is she then?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columba_Bush
Columba Bush (born August 17, 1953) is the wife of former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and the sister-in-law of President George W. Bush.
Bush was born as Columba Garnica Gallo in León, Guanajuato, Mexico, where she grew up and attended high school. Her parents were Jose Maria Garnica, a migrant worker, and Josefina (or Josephina) Gallo. She met Jeb Bush in 1971 in León, where he was teaching English as part of a foreign exchange program. They were married on February 23, 1974, in Austin, Texas.[1]
The video would be great for id’ing the perps for LE.May i reccomend a 12 guage shotgun w/in easy reach if LE can’t reach you in time?

The "migrant worker" dad is most likely why -- along with numerous other factors found in my earlier post -- Clan Bush has warm, fuzzy feelings for illegals.
OK... Google was NOT my friend this time... LOL! So help me out here, what in the world is a “Cucamonga Boxing Glove”?
Switchblade knife.
Which is, of course, why after ICE raided a number of meat packing plants up north around mid 2007 and hauled away all the illegals, the lines to REPLACE these irreplacable “guest workers” stretched around the block.
All those jobs that Americans wouldn’t do — were filled by Americans.
Better luck next time.
And, pal, if YOUR el presidente WERE serious about keeping terrorists out, he’d have secured the BORDERS years ago.
Could the Patriot Act (LOL) and his other actions be motivated by something else?
I’dda started shootin’ em as soon as the beer bottle hit my car...
Why the officer did not shoot his assailants is beyond me.
He was alone, backup was not available, and he was at the mercy of a mob of Mexicans, not a culture where human life has any value.
Those Mexicans were very lucky they are merely being deported, rather than being buried.
Actually, I will be surprised if they are not actually released due to the Feds being too busy to deport people for mere “fighting”, “loud noise complaint”, blah, blah, blabber, blabber.
After all, the Obamination, the HillaBeast, and Libtards in general, want us to “embrace diversity” because “diversity is our strength”.
How about making that “GRINGO DE MEXICO” into “GRINGO DEMENTO”
I suggest your neighbor contact an attorney immediately. Since she is being illegally pressured, she should consider a suit, possibly obtaining recordings if local laws allow taping illegal activities, etc.
Welcome to the Turd World and its typical behavior patterns.

Elder Bush, was widely quoted as having referred to teh grandchildren as “the little brown ones”, for what that’s worth.
Damn straight. Anyone with a knowledge of the racial disturbances of the 1960s knows that this is essential. Do a Wiki search on "Plainfield Riots" and see what happens when a single policeman confronts an angry mob (he gets killed with his own gun.
Oh, and another reason to seal the borders.
Should have happenned 20 years ago.
Just doing the assaulting police Americans don’t want to do.
Ignored by South Florida tv stations.
While he was busy swinging with one had, holding his cell phone with the other, what if they figured out how to unlock his apparently level 3 security holster?
Me, I think I would have done it slightly differently. Deportation results in system knowledge, they'll be BAAAACK!
God Bless
What am I missing here? They attack a deputy and attempt to kill him and they just get deported so they can be back here in a few weeks or less????
susie
This is only about a hundred miles from your neighborhood, right?
*****************************************************
This was 5-10 miles from me ,, this area is filled with plant nurseries, ornamentals , ferns and trees ... The article didn’t name the exact location but I believe it’s a trailer park off the east side of Plymouth Sorrento rd. somewhere in the 4000-6000 address range ,,, the cheap kind for field workers, old trailers bought for very little and dragged in ,, no paved roads and a no-name “groceria” with cold beer within walking distance. If you car is stolen you can bet it’ll show up in one of these camps sooner or later.
