Apodaca then allegedly arrived at a residence near W. Saddle Drive and assaulted a woman who was with her boyfriend. According to the first reports of her victims, a male victim physically removed Apodaka from attacking another woman and put her in her vehicle. At that point, the victim said he was hit by Apodaca as he left, hitting the man under the car and the woman on the hood and top of the car. Both subjects were evaluated by paramedics using lifeline ambulances at the scene and were denied transport to hospital for further treatment.

The Ford had new scuffs on the hood, appeared to have other signs of involvement, and the engine was still hot. I didn’t answer. The car was then towed to the county yard for storage as evidence.

The next day, the victim told the sheriff’s office that she no longer wanted criminal charges against Apodaca. A few days later, on May 16, she said the victim’s man also spoke with her attorney and did not want to file charges.

Wanting to file charges first, the lieutenant advised that they would be forwarded to the county attorney’s office for review as well.

Apodaka spoke to investigators over the phone about the case, but declined to meet in person, saying he was reluctant to answer questions without a lawyer present.
