NO LONGER ON THE STREETS. THIRTY-EIGHT-YEAR-OLD OSCAR ANCHONDO … A SUSPECT IN LAST WEEK’S CARJACKINGS IN ALBUQUERQUE … IS IN CUSTODY. HE WAS ARRESTED TUESDAY NIGHT AROUND 8 O’CLOCK BY BERNALILLO POLICE … BUT NOT BEFORE A STANDOFF WITH THE OFFICERS AFTER THEY SPOTTED HIM IN THEIR COMMUNITY.
THAT STANDOFF STARTED AROUND 4:30PM TUESDAY. ANCHONDA HAD SUFFERED A GUNSHOT WOUND PRIOR TO HIS ARREST, BUT BERNALILLO POLICE SAY IT DIDN’T INVOLVE A SHOOTING WITH OFFICERS. ANCHONDO’S CRIMINAL HISTORY DATES BACK TO 1997.
