CARBON COUNTY, Utah — A Carbon County man was arrested after a standoff with multiple police agencies and SWAT Friday evening.
Price Police Department said Rogelio Bustillos was "armed with multiple firearms and hundreds of rounds of ammunition," and had made comments about getting in a “shoot-out” with police.
Bustillos was eventually located just before 6:30 p.m. in an isolated area near an old mine road near Kenilworth and taken into custody.
Bustillos was booked into the Carbon County Jail on multiple charges, including Aggravated Kidnapping, Aggravated Burglary, and Aggravated Assault, which police said stemmed from an incident that occurred at a residence in Price on Thursday morning.
"It was imperative the suspect was not alerted to or had any idea we knew of his location before law enforcement engagement," the Price Police wrote after the arrest about why so few details were released during the incident.
Recently filed booking documents say Bustillos targeted one of the victims, waking him up in the middle of the night on Thursday, demanding to know if the victim had relations with his spouse while pointing a gun at him.
After telling Bustillos they had nothing to do with his spouse, he left the residence, only to return Friday. With the previous victim not in the room, Bustillos allegedly targeted three other victims in the home.
Once again, he demanded to know if any of them were having relations with his spouse, further demanding they tell him where she was. He continued to hold the three victims hostage for at least two hours, later receiving a phone call telling him to let the victims live and to go home.
Bustillos then directed the victims to turn off their phones and get on their bicycles, ordering them to ride to a local restaurant where they worked, threatening to kill them if anyone called for help on the way.
After following the three victims, Bustillos then fled towards Wellington, prompting police to search both Carbon and Emery counties, before finally taking him into custody without incident.
He's currently being held without bail.
