A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION UNFOLDS ALONG I-40 TUESDAY MORNING. BERNALILLO COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPUTY FELICIA MAGGARD SAYS THEY RECEIVED A CALL FROM A MOTORIST REPORTING THAT SOMEONE IN ANOTHER VEHICLE POINTED A GUN AT THEM. SHE SAYS IT HAPPENED ON EASTBOUND I-40 NEAR TIJERAS.
DEPUTIES RESPONDED AND WERE ABLE TO STOP 19 YEAR OLD ROMOLO ARAGON A SHORT TIME LATER AS HE DROVE ALONG HIGHWAY 337. AMONG THE CHARGES HE FACES IS ONE FOR CONTRIBUTING TO THE DELINQUENCY OF A MINOR. ARAGON ALSO FACES A CHARGE OF AGGRAVATED ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON AND TAMPERING WITH EVIDENCE.
MAGGARD SAYS THE CALLER TOLD THEM A GUNSHOT HAD BEEN FIRED BUT DEPUTIES ARE UNABLE TO CONFIRM IF THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED.
