EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14\/CBS4) \u2014 On June 13, 2026, at approximately 2:54 a.m., an off-duty El Paso County Sheriff\u2019s Office deputy was driving home after completing his shift when he observed a theft in progress at the Circle K located at 2301 Joe Battle Boulevard.<\/p>\n
The deputy immediately intervened and confronted the suspects, who fled on foot. During the pursuit, the deputy apprehended one suspect, identified as 17-year-old Jose Rosales. Rosales resisted arrest and pushed the deputy before being taken into custody.<\/p>\n
While awaiting the arrival of a marked patrol unit, Rosales was able to free one hand from his handcuffs and attempted to flee, leading to a second brief foot pursuit and physical altercation. During the struggle, Rosales attempted to take the deputy\u2019s service weapon. The deputy maintained control of the firearm and successfully subdued the suspect until additional deputies arrived.<\/p>\n
Stolen merchandise valued at $71.62, consisting of BuzzBallz and margarita wine coolers, was recovered and returned to the business.<\/p>\n
Rosales was charged with Theft, Evading Arrest or Detention, Escape from Custody, and Attempt to Take a Weapon from a Peace Officer. His total bond was set at $9,500. He was subsequently booked into the El Paso County Downtown Detention Facility.<\/p>\n
