Juvenile Jailed After Car Chase and Standoff With Law Enforcement Officers

SAN ANGELO, TX — Tom Green County Sheriff’s Office engaged in a pursuit of a white Nissan Altima Tuesday that was occupied by three individuals. Two of the individuals were minors and they were arrested.

The third suspect, Salvador Crespo, 17, was believed to be armed and barricaded himself inside his parent’s residence at the 3000 block of Guadalupe St.

Sheriff David Jones stated that Crespo was wanted on two charges, robbery and possession of child pornography. Crespo was charged with evading arrest or detention after the pursuit and stand-off with law enforcement.

Court documents from the robbery charge stated that Crespo was arrested on July 28, 2016 because “in the course of committing theft of property and with intent to obtain or maintain control of the property, intentionally and knowingly threaten or place (the victim) in fear of imminent bodily injury or death, and the defendant did then and there use or exhibit a deadly weapon, a knife, which in the manner of its use or intended use is capable of causing death or serious bodily injury.”

Crespo was released on a $100,000 bond. Crespo never saw trial for the robbery because he received differed adjudication or probation.

Sheriff David Jones said the vehicle that was used to evade law enforcement had drug paraphernalia inside. The combination of drug paraphernalia and being on probation could have caused Crespo to run from officers.

Crespo was charged with possession of child pornography, a third degree felony, in Sept. 2017 after the Grand Jury indicted him after evidence that he “did then and there intentionally and knowingly possess visual material that visually depicted, and which the defendant knew visually depicted a child younger than 18 years of age at the time the image of the child was made, engaging in sexual conduct, namely actual or simulated lewd exhibition of the breasts.” His bond was set for $25,000.

No bond has been set for the charge from Tuesday, evading arrest. He is being held at the Tom Green County jail.
