A Mexico national residing in Swansboro was arrested Friday for allegedly breaking into a woman’s residence and sodomizing her.

Alfonso Isrrael Bonilla Cruz, 28, of West Corbett Avenue was arrested by Swansboro Police Department and charged with felony breaking and entering, statutory sexual offense by an adult and a crime against nature.

“Cruz went to a Swansboro residence, broke in through the back door, went into the victim’s room and laid in bed with her,” SPD Det. Anton Fickey said.

The victim said Cruz sodomized her, Fickey explained, while Cruz claims he penetrated her anally.

According to warrants, Cruz “forcefully removed the victim’s bottom garment and thrust his penis into the victim’s anus without her consent.”

The event occurred at approximately 6:30 a.m. Friday morning.

While being fingerprinted, it became apparent to law enforcement personnel that Cruz may be residing in the United States illegally.

His identification card is Mexican and he was reported to Immigration and Customs Enforcement for possible deportation after Cruz is tried and sentenced.

He was arrested and held in Onslow County jail on a $250,000 bond. His first appearance was Monday and his next court date is Sept. 18.

Cruz will be represented by Andrew Snow.
