Two Bad Hombres
Two men opened fire on a marked patrol car Tuesday night, Phoenix police said. Police said the men fired at the two-man patrol car from a maroon Chevrolet Tahoe around 10:40 p.m. in west Phoenix.The officers followed the Tahoe about 5 miles before the men stopped the SUV and fled on foot into an apartment complex, police said. Officers set up a perimeter in the area and used K-9 units to search for the men. Police said both men were taken into custody, though one was bitten by a police dog. The men initally gave police false names, but were later identified as Juan Beltran Nunez, 29, and Ricardo Hurtado, 24. Neither of the officers in the patrol car was injured, but police said they found bullet holes in the hood and passenger-side roof of the car. Police said they recovered the Tahoe and a rifle. Nunez was arrested on two counts of aggravated assault, possession of dangerous drugs and unlawful flight. Both men were charged with being prohibited possessors of a firearm and were placed under holds for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. I am truly surprised that they were taken alive.
