COUNTY FUGITIVE HAS CAUSED A LOT OF PROBLEMS THIS WEEK. FIRST HE MADE A PRANK CALL TO 9-1-1 THAT SENT DEPUTIES... SEARCH AND RESCUE CREWS AND AMBULANCES SCRAMBLING FOR NOTHING. TONIGHT -- HE CAUSED A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE FOR HIS NEIGHBORS IN CROUCH MESA. CRIS ORNELAS SORTS OUT THE BIZARRE STORY. 6:20 TAPE 1 '911 what is the address of your emergency?' THIS 911 CALL TUESDAY TRIGGERED A HUGE RESPONSE FROM SAN JUAN COUNTY EMERGENCY CREWS COSTING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. 6:24-6:31 TAPE 1 'i flipped my truck i dont know where i'm at but i know i'm in the canyon and i cant find my friend' THE PROBLEM IS THE CALL IS A FAKE. DEPUTIES TRACED THE CALL TO 31 YEAR OLD TOMMY WALTON. HE COULD BE CHARGED FOR THE PRANK. BUT WHAT'S WEIRD IS WALTON SHOULD HAVE BEEN TRYING TO AVOID COPS. HE AND HIS FRIEND ARTHUR QUINTANA ARE BOTH WANTED ON PAROLE VIOLATIONS. 46:06- 46:12 TAPE 2 'they have made threats that they would either injure themselves or law enforcement'WHEN OFFICERS WENT TO PICK THEM UP TODAY THE MEN BARRICADED THEMSELVES AT WALTON'S HOME. 43:38-43:43 'negotiators have been talking to them for several hours now and we do have a dialogue going' 12 HOMES IN THE AREA HAD TO BE EVACUATED... RESIDENTS WAITED AT A NEARBY CHURCH WHILE DEPUTIES WAITED OUT THE FUGITIVES. 49:05-49:16 'its very sad the young man in question has a history of contact with law enforcement and he is no doubt quite a bit of trouble right now' ABOUT SEVEN TONIGHT... AFTER FOUR AND A HALF HOURS OF NEGOTIATIONS THE MEN GAVE UP. 47:23- 47:28 'just about two minutes ago quintana and tommy walton walked out with there hands in the air' DEPUTIES SAY FOR NOW, THE MEN WILL BE HELD ON THE PAROLE VIOLATIONS WHILE THEY CONSIDER CHARGES FOR THE PRANK 911 CALL.
