Marion, TX – Aaron Gomez was arrested yesterday by members of
the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force (LSFTF) on charges involving violation
of parole conditions.
Gomez, 28, was wanted by the New Braunfels Police
Department (NBPD) after a warrant was issued for his arrest last month.
Gomez was allegedly involved in a shooting and as a result, members of
the LSFTF were requested to assist in his apprehension. On Tuesday,
taskforce officers observed Gomez sitting in a vehicle at an EZ Pawn
Shop in New Braunfels, TX. Gomez was ordered to exit the vehicle, but
fled the scene at a high rate of speed and avoided apprehension.
Yesterday afternoon, task force officers
continued their search and located Gomez sitting in a vehicle at a house
located in the 1500 block of Marion Road, in Marion, TX. Gomez attempted
to evade arrest yet again, but was quickly subdued and taken into
custody.
Gomez is currently being held in custody at the
Comal County Jail.
Despite the tactical training, extensive planning
and safety measures taken to effect every arrest, apprehensions don’t
always happen as expected,” said U.S. Marshal Susan Pamerleau. “Yet
deputies and task force officers remained persistent and continued their
search until the arrest was finally made.
