Staff reports

 Local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies were involved in a six hour standoff with an individual on a ranch off of FM 1908 near Quemado,Texas on Tuesday, April 4, 2017.

   At approximately 1:00 pm, an emergency call came into the Maverick County Sheriff Department in which an individual was reported to have broken into a mobile home to rob the residence.

  Reports state that a ranch hand entered the mobile home which was located on a ranch off of FM 1908, and startled a man, identified as Rodrigo Gonzalez, with one of several weapons that were inside the trailer. The weapons included a shotgun, two high caliber weapons, and three hunting rifles, one of which had a night scope, all of which are currently in possession of the Maverick County Sheriff Department. Gonzalez fired a single shot at the ranch hand but missed. The ranch hand fled and called the Sheriff Department to report the incident.

   Law enforcement agents arrived at the scene and found Gonzalez barricaded inside the  structure.

   A standoff with Gonzalez then ensued for more than six hours, and involved numerous law enforcement agencies.

   DPS SWAT and U.S. Border Patrol Tactical Operations Team were then organized, and at 8:00 p.m. proceeded to storm the mobile home, and were able to detain Gonzalez.

  The Maverick County Sheriff Department would like to thank USBP BORTAC, DPS, Eagle Pass Fire Department, Assistant Fire Chief Rodolfo Cardona, EMS, Constables Hernandez and Chacon, ICE, and Texas Rangers for their assistance during the incident.

  Gonzalez is believed to be Schizophrenic, and was taken into custody and will await due process or be submitted to a mental institute for mental health treatment. He is being charged with burglary of a habitation and deadly conduct. 

Gonzalez had previously burned down his own home on the corner of  Zacatecas and Vista Hermosa in June 2016, and was sent to San Antonio for psychiatric evaluation.

   In January 2016, Gonzalez was arrested by the Eagle Pass Police Department after verbally assaulting associates at Academy Sports + Outdoors who asked him if he had a valid license as he insisted he be sold a firearm.
