A U.S. Border Patrol agent accused of assaulting a Long Beach police officer died of an overdose weeks later at his parents' Riverside County home, the Long Beach Post reported. According to the newspaper, Isaiah Hodgson's attorney told a Long Beach Superior Court judge that Hodgson died in August. The body of Hodgson, 29, was found around 12:45 p.m. Aug. 22 when deputies responded to a home in the 25000 block of Avocet Circle in an unincorporated area near Hemet, according to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department. Hodgson was reportedly one of the agents involved in an immigration raid in June in Pico Rivera in which Adrian Martinez -- a 20-year-old U.S. citizen - was detained, according to Martinez's lawyer. Hodgson was also charged with assaulting a Long Beach police officer and resisting arrest for a July 7 incident at the Shoreline Village parking lot
