An attorney for Jarrott s widow has alleged that the officer was sent into an ambush. This HSI BOLO is another piece of evidence to show how much the (Department) of Homeland Security knew that this guy is dangerous, that he was carrying firearms with him, and yet they did nothing to warn this State Police officer before he walked into this in fact they encouraged him, attorney Sam Bregman told the

Bregman said HSI had contact with Cueva between the BOLO being issued and the traffic stop and knew Cueva had a gun on him but failed to warn (Jarrott) of any of it.
