Synopsis:
On January 27, 2013 at approximately 1:55 AM officers
received a call of two males in the area of Jack in the Box restaurant, 49
Columbia Point Dr. dressed in blue creating a disturbance. The subjects were yelling “Southside” and had
been pounding on cars in the area. A
loud noise was heard in the area and the caller stated that they thought it may
have been a gunshot.
As officers arrived they saw two subjects
matching the description walking on Armistead St. When ordered to stop Galvez complied and was
detained while Valdez began running.
After a brief foot pursuit, Valdez was caught and taken into custody.
Interviews with witnesses at the scene indicated that both
Galvez and Valdez were banging on cars and windows in the drive through lane at
Jack in the Box. They were threatening
to kill the occupants of the vehicles and yelling gang related statements (both
are confirmed gang members). Both
subjects appeared to under the influence of alcohol.
Navarrete and another female drove into the area and were
contacted by officers. She said that
Valdez was her boyfriend and that she was in the area looking for him. A subsequent driver’s check showed her
driving status to be suspended. She was
cited for DWLS 3rd degree and released.
Galvez and Valdez were booked into the Benton County Jail on
charges of Disorderly Conduct and Harassment.
Valdez was also charged with Obstructing for running from the police.
No evidence of a weapon or gunfire was ever found.
Contact Capt. Mike Cobb, 942-7362, for more information.
