[FoxNews] Jon Christian Orozco, 25, was first arrested April 10 in El Paso during a traffic stop after allegedly running a red light, the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office said. During the stop, deputies allegedly smelled alcohol, and Orozco was arrested on suspicion of second-degree driving while intoxicated.
While being taken into custody, Orozco allegedly threatened the deputies and their loved ones, telling two officers "he could place a green light" on both of them. The term "green light" is commonly used by criminal organizations to signify authorization for an individual to be assaulted or killed.
"He continued making explicit threats, including statements indicating intent to locate and harm law enforcement personnel," the sheriff’s office stated. "Based on these actions, additional charges for obstruction or retaliation were filed." |
