Suspect called illegal resident

A man accused of driving a car that hit a 6-year-old boy earlier this week is an illegal immigrant and will face deportation proceedings when released from state custody, federal officials said.

"(U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) placed a detainer on him so that if he is released from state custody for any reason, he will be released to ICE,” said Carl Rusnok, spokesman for the immigration agency's Dallas-based central region.

Gustavo Aldolfo, 26, was arrested after being accused of running over Orlando Carrion as the boy rode his bicycle in southwest Oklahoma City on Monday. Carrion was listed in good condition late Wednesday afternoon at The Children's Hospital at OU Medical Center, a hospital spokeswoman said.

Aldolfo was being held Wednesday night at the Oklahoma County jail in lieu of $8,000 bail on complaints of leaving the scene of an injury accident, having no driver's license, having no insurance and giving false information, according to jail records.

"If and when he does bond out ... he would be booked out of custody as a state inmate and booked in as a federal inmate,” Oklahoma City police Sgt. Paco Balderrama said.
