THIRTY-YEAR-OLD ALEXANDER GONZALEZ PROBABLY DIDN’T SEE THIS COMING. THE SUSPECTED DRUG DEALER WAS ARRESTED WHEN HE WENT TO THE ALBUQUERQUE SUNPORT TO PICK UP HIS GIRLFRIEND THIS PAST TUESDAY.
APD’S TANNER TIXIER SAYS THEY WERE WAITING FOR HIM IN THE PARKING GARAGE WHERE HE WAS ARRESTED WITHOUT INCIDENT. HE SAYS GONZALEZ WILL FACE FEDERAL CHARGES. HE SAYS PART OF THE INVESTIGATION WAS CONDUCTED BY APD OFFICERS WORKING ON THE DEA TASK FORCE, WHICH GIVES THEM FEDERAL CHARGING AUTHORITY.
A SEARCH OF GONZALEZ’S VEHICLE AND RESIDENCE TURNED UP 15 POUNDS OF HIGH GRADE MARIJUANA, SOME COCAINE, SIX FIREARMS INCLUDING ONE THAT WAS STOLEN, AS WELL AS NEARLY 1-THOUSAND ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION.
