Socorro County Sheriff's Blotter

The following items were taken from reports at the Socorro County Sheriff's Department.

Feb.28
An officer noticed a vehicle on Interstate 25 with a burned out tail light at 2 a.m., and initiated a traffic stop, but the driver failed to pull over. The vehicle was pursued from the interstate into the city, and finally pulled over on Bullock Avenue. The officer detected an odor of burnt marijuana emitting form the vehicle, and noticed that the driver had red, bloodshot eyes, and had trouble making complete sentences. The driver was placed under arrest, and refused to submit to a blood draw. Next stop: the county jail.

Vehicle 1 was southbound on Box Canyon Road at 4:30 p.m. when it rounded a curve and met vehicle 2. Vehicle 1 struck vehicle 2, causing damage to both vehicles. Vehicle 2 had to be towed form the scene, but vehicle 1 was drivable.

An officer was dispatched at 5 p.m. to Veguita, where the victim reported that the suspect got into an argument with him, and produced a weapon, firing it in his direction. Contact was made after the suspect ran from the officer and entered a residence. He claimed that he did not mean to fire the weapon and that it went off accidently. It was learned that the suspect had a warrant for his arrest. He was arrested and transported to the detention center. The weapon was logged into evidence.

Mar. 1
A vehicle was westbound on Bullock Avenue at 7:20 a.m. when another vehicle was exiting a business and failed to yield to traffic. It was struck by the westbound vehicle when it entered the roadway, causing moderate damage to both.

Vehicles 1 and 2 were eastbound on Highway 380 at 9:30 a.m. Vehicle 2 was hauling items in the bed on the truck. One of the items fell off the truck and vehicle 1 ran over the item, causing damage to its undercarriage. Vehicle 2 drove off.

A San Antonio man came to the Sheriff’s Department at 10 a.m., saying that he learned that there was a warrant for his arrest. He then produced an order to quash the warrant.
