Virgilio Aguilar, of indigenous origin, was imprisoned for almost ten months. "It's a beautiful day," said his lawyer Phillip Arroyo after his release.
The case sparked outrage from users, activists and even celebrities who demanded that he be released. In the video of his arrest, the young man is heard telling the officers: " I'm sorry, I don't speak English. " One decides to register him and Aguilar resists; several officers struggle with him and one shoots him in the leg with a Taser.
