VIDEO: Santa Fe man arrested after ‘brandishing' gun at gas station

Yahoo2 days ago

SANTA FE, N.M. (KRQE) – We're getting new video of an arrest at a gas station in Santa Fe over the weekend, where police say a man confronted someone with a gun. Police connected 40-year-old Jose Nava with a handgun found inside a Speedway, and they believe it was the same weapon used to threaten a person earlier that day.
'Mr. Nava, let me see your hands. Hands up, turn around,' said a Santa Fe Police officer. Video shows the moment inside a Santa Fe gas station when officers put Jose Nava in handcuffs.
Earlier in the day, Saturday, Santa Fe police responded to a report of a man threatening someone with a gun at the Speedway on Siler Road and Agua Fria Street. The victim told police a white truck and a blue Dodge pulled up to the gas station. That's when they say the man in the white truck got out and started threatening the victim while holding a pipe.

Police said the victim raised his hands and told the man he didn't want any problems. Then the man in the blue Dodge, who police believe was Jose Nava, pulled out a handgun and pointed it towards the victim.
When the victim asked what Nava wanted him to do, he responded by telling the driver to get in their car and get out of there. The victim complied, got in his car, and left. He gave police the license plate of the blue truck, and also said there was a female passenger in the truck, too.
But when police go to arrest Nava, he says, 'That guy that pulled a gun out here, bro.'
'So we're here to talk to you about that, but you also have a warrant out for your arrest, okay?' a Santa Fe officer told Nava. After the arrest, police executed a search warrant at the Speedway. The crime scene unit showed up to help find the brandished gun.

Along with a key part of the team, a police service dog. Within minutes, the police K-9 points out a potential location of the gun to his handler. Video later shows police pull out the weapon from a box of chips.
'My dog was right,' said the K-9 handler.
Nava was arrested and booked into the Santa Fe adult detention center for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and tampering with evidence.
'Keep your hands up, don't move,' said one officer.
Nava was also booked on an active arrest warrant for failure to appear in a domestic violence-related case. Santa Fe police said they found two handguns and a shotgun in Nava's truck.

Judge orders Scranton resident to remove his 10 mastiffs from home

Lackawanna County Court Judge Mark Powell ordered a Scranton resident to remove all of his 10 or more cane corso breed of mastiff guard dogs from his home in Minooka, because they and their owner's handling of them constitute a public nuisance. In a ruling in a preliminary injunction lawsuit by Scranton against resident John Dodge, the judge also agreed with the city's contention that Dodge's kennel business violates the residential zoning of his home at 421 Campbell St. The city on Jan. 2 issued a zoning violation to Dodge for having more dogs than allowed in a residential zone on less than an acre. After no response or appeal by Dodge, the city filed the injunction suit May 19. Powell heard the case May 27. Dodge did not attend the hearing and did not respond to the lawsuit, according to the suit, testimony and Powell's ruling. During the May 27 proceeding, Assistant City Solicitor Mariclare Hayes sought an order requiring Dodge to surrender or 'rehome' all but two of the dogs and prove with documentation that those two are spayed or neutered. Powell went a step further in his ruling issued Tuesday, by ordering all of the dogs removed from the property as 'the only means to abate the nuisance.' Efforts to reach Dodge on Wednesday were unsuccessful. The dispute between the city and Dodge over citations he has ignored had been brewing for several months; but tension between Dodge and his neighbors over the dogs had been ongoing for about two years, shortly after he began keeping, breeding and selling the dogs, according to court testimony from the May 27 hearing. According to the injunction lawsuit: The city zoning ordinance caps at six the number of pets over 3 months old allowed on a residential property of an acre or less; and the number of canines at the 421 Campbell St. property has varied, but city officials have seen 'no less than 10' full-grown cane corso mastiffs and believe their numbers have reached as high as 25. Barking, the stench of dog feces and safety concerns about the large dogs occasionally running loose disrupt the neighborhood, particularly neighbors Dawn and David Hafner of 2426 Pittston Ave., who have lived there 23 years. Their backyard abuts Dodge's rear deck and yard, Dawn Hafner testified May 27. Dodge moved to 421 Campbell St. around January 2021, and around February 2023 got two dogs and eventually more over the years, and he now has about 10, Hafner testified. Her testimony also included that the two largest male dogs each weigh about 150 pounds, while females weigh about half of that; the dogs hang over the deck railing directly into Hafner's yard; Dodge's routine hosing dog feces off of his deck causes the excrement to wash into Hafner's yard; and excessive feces and urine in Dodge's yard also stink up the neighborhood. Dodge has done nothing to remediate the situation and has not appealed the zoning violation, and he has not sought a variance to operate his 'Superior Cane Corso Kennel,' city Planner Don King, who is the city's director of planning and zoning, testified. King also testified that Dodge's property is 'too small and it's too close to other residences' to operate a kennel, and he sells the dogs via a website and social media, thus operating a business in a residential zone. Dodge also had not responded to citations and fines issued by the city's animal control officer regarding a lack of dog licenses and rabies vaccinations, the lawsuit claimed. The city's animal control officer, Katie Gallone, testified that she had concerns about safety regarding the dogs; and that without proper handling and training, the dogs can exhibit a pack mentality and be a threat to humans or other animals. Powell's ruling cited Gallone's testimony that included a February 2024 incident of the dogs running loose in the neighborhood and going after a person; a dog attack at Connell Park in July, when a small dog being walked by a 16-year-old girl was attacked by two mastiffs owned by Dodge and his wife, and that resulted in $700 in veterinary bills regarding the small dog; and video of a December 2024 incident of several of the dogs running loose in the neighborhood after escaping from Dodge's back gate. 'There is ample credible testimony on the record by neighbors and city employees, as well as pictures that prove the dogs are noisy, create a foul smell from both urine and feces, that the dogs are a danger to the community when they get loose because the dogs are exceptionally intimidating showing aggressive pack behavior, causing fear to those they encounter,' Powell said in his ruling.

The city's suit claims the keeping of 10 or more of the dogs at any given time violates the residential zoning and has created a public nuisance in noise, smell, excessive feces and concerns about safety.

Negotiations ongoing in Candie Springer case, hearing postponed 2 weeks

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — Negotiations are continuing in the case of a Bakersfield woman who's facing a felony charge in connection with a deadly crash that occurred after she allowed her unlicensed teen son to drive her Dodge Charger. David A. Torres, defense attorney for Candie Springer, said in court Wednesday he submitted a mitigation packet to prosecutors and they need two weeks to review it. Judge John W. Lua set the next hearing for June 25. Springer, who was not present Wednesday, was ordered to appear. A mitigation packet is intended to provide a complete picture of the defendant and can include school and work history, character letters and information on prior minimal or lack of a criminal record. Springer, 47, has no prior cases listed against her in Kern County. She's charged with felony child cruelty and a misdemeanor count of allowing an unlicensed person to operate a motor vehicle. In 2023, Springer let her then-15-year-old son take her car for what she thought would be a quick trip to the market. Jace Springer instead picked up friends, sped on city streets and led police on a chase that ended with him crashing into a tree. A passenger died. Jace Springer accepted a plea agreement in juvenile court. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

AUBURN, Ala. (WRBL) – A man and woman have been arrested and charged with attempted murder after a 33-year-old Auburn man was shot multiple times early Sunday morning, June 8.
