THE MAN WHO FORCED THE SHUTDOWN OF CENTRAL AVENUE FOR HOURS ON WEDNESDAY IS VERY FAMILIAR TO ALBUQUERQUE POLICE. 31 YEAR OLD JOSEPH GRUBB…ALSO KNOWN AS SUPERMAN AMIR…WAS ARRESTED AFTER AN ALMOST 12 HOUR STANDOFF.
APD’S FRED DURAN SAYS GRUBB HAS BEEN ARRESTED THREE TIMES IN THE PAST FOUR MONTHS…BUT THIS TIME THINGS GOT MORE SERIOUS. HE SAYS GRUBB THREW CINDER BLOCKS INTO THE ROADWAY, CAUSING SOME VEHICLES TO BE DAMAGED. HE WAS ALSO THROWING OTHER ITEMS OFF THE ROOFTOP AND SIGNIFICANTLY DAMAGED THE ROOF TOP ITSELF.
GRUBB FACES CHARGES OF AGGRAVATED ASSAULT ON A POLICE OFFICER AND CRIMINAL DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
