An Arizona rancher who was convicted of assaulting a Border Patrol agent has been sentenced to eight months in prison, The Associated Press reports.
Derek Garland, 48, was pulled over in April 2014 after triggering a sensor in an area known for smuggling near the U.S.-Mexico border.
Garland pulled out an unholstered pistol and was acting belligerently, yelling racial slurs and profanity at the agent.
The incident was captured on video.
