Source: Albuquerque Journal, N.儲存M.Jan. 23--The State Police officer exonerated last week by a Santa Fe Grand Jury following his fatal shooting of a Santa Fe woman after he stopped her car with a "bumping" maneuver used that same driving tactic in a previous incident.Officers Oliver Wilson and Jerry Arnold were patrolling last summer when they started pursuing a vehicle that had been stolen in Taos, according to a search warrant affidavit filed recently in state District Court.According to the affidavit, the officers chased the vehicle on U.S. 84/285 on July 2 using emergency lights and sirens but it failed to pull over. The vehicle took a Pojoaque exit and the driver tried to get back onto the highway when Wilson used what police call a PIT (pursuit intervention technique) maneuver to stop the car, the same spinout tactic used by Wilson to stop Jeanette Anaya's car in Santa Fe on Nov. 7.In that case, Wilson had tried to pull Anaya over for a traffic stop, although his dash-cam video later showed no obvious traffic violations by Anaya. Instead of stopping, Wilson -- who had cocaine in her system and an outstanding arrest warrant for a minor offense -- sped off and led Wilson on a high-speed chase.After Wilson used the PIT maneuver to stop Anaya off Camino Carlos Rey, Wilson fired 16 shots and struck Ana-ya twice when she backed her car up and hit Wilson's patrol car. Wilson, who was outside of the patrol car at this point, said he was nearly hit by Ana-ya's car and feared for his life迷你倉when he fired the shots. Last week, a grand jury cleared him of any wrongdoing in the fatal shooting.One question in the Ana-ya case is whether Wilson obtained required permission to use the PIT maneuver to stop Anaya.In the Pojoaque incident on July 2, the vehicle spun out after Wilson's PIT tactic and rolled backwards, stopping against a dirt embankment. The driver got out and ran away with officer Arnold chasing on foot. Arnold lost sight of the driver in an arroyo.The passenger, Ben Ortiz, 50, stayed in the vehicle and was arrested on outstanding shoplifting warrants and for failing to follow probation conditions, the documents said.Officers got a search warrant and recovered DNA samples from a Dr. Pepper bottle and a cigarette butt found in the stolen vehicle, according to the arrest warrant affidavit.The DNA samples matched that of Ortiz and two other prior offenders, Roger Vigil and Urias Andrew Valdez. But a letter from a forensic lab said prior DNA samples in the state database are not evidence and a new sample was needed. So a second search warrant was obtained to get a DNA sample from Valdez, who was in the Los Alamos jail on unrelated charges. Officers took a new sample from the incarcerated Valdez on Jan. 13. It could not be determined on Wednesday if police had been able to make a match.Copyright: ___ (c)2014 the Albuquerque Journal (Albuquerque, N.M.)
