Chaparral man wanted on felony warrants arrested after barricading inside house

Update: Texas Department of Public Safety Highway Patrol and Special Agents were working with the El Paso Police Department Auto Theft Task Force to find a person suspected of stealing a car in Northeast El Paso Tuesday. That is according to Texas DPS officials.

When they found the suspect's car driving on McCombs Street, they tried to stop it, but the driver sped away. Officials say he went up to 100 MPH, and eventually crossed into New Mexico.

Officials say the driver, identified as 33-year-old Chaparral resident John Gallegos, intentionally rammed into unmarked police cars during the chase. Gallegos eventually stopped, jumped out of his car, and ran into a house on the 600 block of Mesilla View Drive. He barricaded himself inside, according to Texas DPS officials.

Agents were able to get Gallegos out of the house and arrested him. Officials found that Gallegos had several felony warrants for his arrest out of El Paso County. They charged Gallegos with new counts, including evading arrest.

Update: The lockdown at Sunrise Elementary School is now over. ABC-7 is waiting for law enforcement agencies to identify the barricaded person.
