El Paso man arrested after pursuit, brief standoff

EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- Deputies charged a 23-year-old man with evading arrest and crashing into a vehicle during a pursuit, the El Paso County Sheriff's Office said Tuesday.

According to EPCSO, deputies tried to stop Carlos Calvillo's vehicle in the Horizon area Saturday after midnight. Calvillo allegedly failed to yield and led deputies on a chase.

During the chase, Calvillo allegedly ignored multiple stop signs and hit a parked, unoccupied vehicle. The sheriff's office said he got out of his vehicle and ran way.

Deputies couldn't find Calvillo at the tame.

After further investigation, they identified and obtained three arrest warrants for Calvillo, EPCSO said.

At midnight Sunday, deputies found Calvillo at a home near the intersection of Rich Beem Boulevard and N Zaragoza road. EPCSO said there was a brief standoff.

Deputies took Calvillo into custody after he surrendered, EPCSO said. They booked him into the El paso County Downtown Jail with a $30,500 bond.
