A SWAT SITUATION IN ALBUQUERQUE’S SOUTH VALLEY STARTED AROUND 1AM WEDNESDAY AND DIDN’T END UNTIL SHORTLY BEFORE 10AM. THE EX-GIRLFRIEND OF A MAN IDENTIFIED AS 19 YEAR OLD RICARDO CARRILLO CALLED 911, SAYING THAT SHE THOUGHT CARRILLO WAS DOING A DRIVE-BY SHOOTING ON HER HOME ON NANCY SOUTHWEST.
DEPUTIES SPOTTED CARRILLO’S CAR AND TRIED TO PULL HIM OVER, BUT HE FLED … BROKE INTO ONE HOME NEAR DEVARGAS AND 114TH STREET ONLY TO BREAK INTO ANOTHER HOME ON OSPREY NEARBY. THE HOMEOWNER CONVINCED HIM TO GO INTO HER GARAGE … THEN LOCKED HIM IN. CARRILLO, HOWEVER, THREATENED TO HURT THE DEPUTIES, SO SWAT WAS CALLED IN.
IT FINALLY TOOK DEPLOYING GAS CANISTERS TO GET CARRILLO TO SURRENDER. HE WAS NOT HARMED BUT WAS CHECKED AT THE HOSPITAL BEFORE HE WAS TAKEN TO THE MDC.
