EL PASO, TEXAS (KFOX14/CBS4) — Three men in Horizon were arrested on various charges last week after a traffic stop led to the discovery of narcotics, according to the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office.

According to police, on Jan. 2, deputies from the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office attempted a traffic stop on a black Lexus at the 14800 block of Horizon Blvd.

The driver, identified as 33-year-old Benjamin Gallardo, failed to yield, prompting a pursuit that ended at the 700 block of Karl Drive.

With assistance from the Horizon Police Department and Texas Department of Public Safety troopers, deputies conducted a felony stop.

According to police, both Gallardo and his passenger, 19-year-old Noah Ezekiel Vargas, were uncooperative, leading to the deployment of a Taser 7 to safely apprehend Gallardo.

During the incident, police said 34-year-old Juan Antonio Gallardo, a homeowner from a nearby residence, interfered with deputies, leading to his arrest.

Police said that all three men were taken into custody without further incident.

Deputies discovered that Benjamin Gallardo had an outstanding warrant for theft of property valued between $2,500 and $30,000, while Vargas had a warrant for possession of a controlled substance in a drug-free zone.

According to police, narcotics were also found in the vehicle.

The men were booked into the El Paso County Detention Facility.

Benjamin Gallardo faces charges of evading arrest with a vehicle, possession of a controlled substance, and theft, with a bond set at $27,500.

Vargas is charged with possession of a controlled substance in a drug-free zone, with a $1,000 bond.

Juan Antonio Gallardo is charged with interference with public duties, also with a $1,000 bond.
