A 20-year-old man wanted for alleged bond violations related to a Midland County homicide case was arrested Monday evening in Presidio County after deputies stopped a vehicle traveling more than 100 mph, authorities said.
Presidio County sheriff’s deputies conducted the traffic stop at about 7 p.m. Aug. 24 on U.S. Highway 67 after observing a vehicle traveling south toward Presidio at more than 100 mph, according to Chief Deputy Joel Nuñez Jr.
During the investigation, deputies identified a passenger as Daniel Torres, 20. Authorities determined Torres had an outstanding Midland County warrant alleging violations of bond conditions related to a homicide case.
Torres attempted to flee from deputies during the stop, Nuñez said. Deputies quickly subdued Torres and took him into custody without further incident.
U.S. Border Patrol personnel assisted the Presidio County Sheriff’s Office with the arrest.
Authorities have not publicly identified the underlying Midland County homicide case or provided details about the alleged bond violations.
No additional charges stemming from Torres’ alleged attempt to flee were immediately announced.
The Presidio County Sheriff’s Office did not identify the driver of the vehicle or say whether the driver was cited or arrested in connection with the traffic stop.
