Suspect Arrested In SJ Crossing Guard Attack
********************************************

Ivan Nunez
(ABC7)
Oct. 15 (BCN) -- The man suspected of beating two school crossing guards
yesterday in San Jose is now in police custody.

Ivan Nunez, 38, of San Jose, was arrested around 2 a.m. today in a motel off
Old Oakland Road in San Jose, according to police spokeswoman Catherine
Unger.

The department's SWAT team was assigned the task of finding and apprehending
Nunez because "what we found in his criminal history and the fact that he's
a parolee lead us to determine he was a pretty high-risk suspect," Unger
said.

But Nunez "gave up without incident and complied with officers," Unger said.
He is being held for parole violation and unspecified assault charges in
Santa Clara County Jail, and should be arraigned by Friday, Unger said.

It was just before 8 a.m. Tuesday when Nunez was allegedly driving
erratically on Martin Avenue near August Boeger Middle School. He drove
through the intersection while the crossing guards held up their stop signs
and children were crossing the street, according to Unger.

"He got really angry, pulled over and physically assaulted one of the
crossing guards, punched him in the face and threw him to the ground," Unger
said.

Chieu Nguyen, 47, was transported to a local hospital following the assault,
and according to Unger is still being observed for possible bleeding on the
brain.

The second crossing guard, Poan Pho, 56, was also injured after trying to
assist Nguyen, but was then sent home, Unger said.

After the incident, area residents and passersby were "so astonished" by
what had happened that several people quickly came forward with descriptions
of Nunez and his vehicle, according to Unger. Those tips resulted in his
apprehension early this morning, she said.

Unger described Nunez as "huge," standing about 5'11" and weighing 220
pounds. She said he was already on parole for an unspecified conviction, and
does have an extensive criminal history.

"When you're on parole you have to live a pretty straight life, and
obviously he didn't understand that," Unger said.
