EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) – A 47-year-old man was arrested on Wednesday, March 5, and is facing theft and criminal trespass charges for stealing an ATV, the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office (EPCSO) said in a news release.
EPCSO said Raul Hermelindo Ayala, 47, was arrested on Wednesday and charged with theft with a $15,000 bond and criminal trespass with a $300 bond.
On Saturday, March 1, deputies responded to a call regarding the theft of a Can-Am ATV from a residence in the 12800 block of Sparks, EPCSO said.
EPCSO said that upon arrival, deputies found multiple shoe impressions, and when they reviewed surveillance footage, it showed a suspect involved in the theft.
The preliminary investigation led deputies to a home in the 13100 block of Mark Twain, where the stolen ATV was recovered, EPCSO said.
EPCSO said the Montana Patrol Station Criminal Investigation Unit was notified and took over the case, which later identified Ayala as the suspect, and two criminal warrants were issued for his arrest.
With the assistance of deputies from the Montana Patrol Station, Peter John Herrera Station, and the Fugitive and Apprehension Unit, Ayala was located and arrested on the outstanding warrants. He was then booked into the El Paso County Detention Facility, EPCSO said.
