EL PASO TEXAS-  Early this morning at approximately 3:00 AM, two Sheriff’s Deputies were transported to local area hospitals after being struck by a Ford Mustang at the intersection of Pebble Hills and Joe Battle/South.  A preliminary investigation revealed the driver of a Ford Mustang was traveling southbound on Joe Battle when it  disregarded a red light and T-boned the Sheriff’s Patrol Unit traveling westbound on Pebble Hills.  Both vehicles came to rest on the eastbound lanes of traffic of Pebble Hills. 

At the time of the crash, a passenger was seen in the Ford Mustang and was transported to a local area hospital.  A male subject was detained shortly thereafter by authorities who believed to be the driver of the Ford Mustang who reportedly fled on foot after the accident.  Special Traffic Investigators were summoned to the scene and took custody of detained 23 year old Samuel David Garcia who was placed under arrest for Driving While Intoxicated.  Garcia was also transported to a hospital for further evaluation. At the time, all parties were transported with non-life threatening injuries. The investigation continues.

Pebble Hills east and westbound lanes west of Joe Battle will be closed for approximately two hours.  Commuters should expect to also be re-routed from Joe Battle north and Joe Battle south.

A Westside restaurant is broken into, robbed and vandalized , making this the

Crime Stoppers “Crime of the Week”

About 7:45 A.M. on Sunday, April 14, 2013, Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to Great American Land & Cattle Company at 600 Valley Chile Road in Vinton due to a burglar alarm being set off. When they arrived they found that the front door had been forcefully opened. Inside, they discovered that the alarm system had been ripped off the wall and several areas had been ransacked: including the hostess area, the main office and the bar area. Damages to the restaurant are estimated at approximately $2,000.

Surveillance video shows an older model Nissan Pathfinder or Isuzu Rodeo arrive at the front entrance about 7:00 A.M. Occupied by two people. The video also shows the vehicle to have paper plates and was missing its spare tire on the rear door as it moves out of camera sight. One suspect enters the building, wearing a hooded sweatshirt with the word PINK on the front. The suspect left shoe impressions inside and outside the building, and along a nearby arroyo, where investigators believe the suspect met up with the driver of the vehicle.
