After graduating with a degree in criminology during his time in the navy, Alonzo was hired by US Customs in Los Angeles and finally transferred to Laredo, Texas, during the height of the war on drugs and Mexican cartel. During the terrorist attacks of September 11, he was moved to the Chicago, to enhance the ability of Border and Protection to hunt for the terrorists.
