CARBON COUNTY, Utah — A Carbon County man was arrested after a standoff with multiple police agencies and SWAT Friday evening.
The 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.
With a large police presence from multiple agencies, there were fears of an ongoing active shooter incident. However, Price Police quickly put out word on social media that there was no active shooter.
"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.
