Deming Police Captain Bobby Orosco, who serves as a SWAT Commander, said the PD and SO sent a combined response team with negotiators and an armored vehicle to Silver City Tuesday morning and aided in the capture of Adam Martinez and Tyler Cole.
Orosco said Luna County has a Memorandum of Understanding with Grant County, and the Deming Police Department has a Memorandum of Understanding with the Luna County Sheriff’s Department, to assist when needed.
Law enforcement officials received a tip early Tuesday that Martinez was in a mobile home on Mountain View Road.
After a standoff involving several law enforcement agencies, including the Deming and Luna County responders, Martinez was brought into custody without incident at approximately 1:15 p.m.
Cole was found on 8th Street in Silver City and, after an alleged struggle, was arrested at about 2:30 p.m.
