LOS ANGELES, CA - Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has announced the arrest of a Filipino national who allegedly stabbed two roommates during a dispute over orange juice.
The alleged suspect, Phil John Amazona Yumang, was arrested on April 28 in Las Vegas, according to a press release from the Department of Homeland Security. He was convicted of two counts of attempted murder and battery with the use of a deadly weapon in Las Vegas.
He will remain in custody in Las Vegas pending deportation proceedings. "Phil John Amazona Yumang was arrested after allegedly stabbing two roommates during a dispute over orange juice,” ICE wrote in a Facebook post.
