El Paso County Sheriff's Office
CARLOS ROBERTO MEDINA-BAILON, 30




EL PASO, Texas -- U.S. Marshals confirmed to ABC-7 Friday afternoon that a body found in a Sunland Park, N.M. landfill was that of a federal inmate who escaped the El Paso jail earlier in the day.
Carlos Roberto Medina-Bailon, 30, of Delicias, Mexico, is believed to have escaped the El Paso County Detention Facility between 4:30 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. Friday by using the garbage disposal system and crushed by the garbage truck compactor.

He was working as a trusty in the kitchen downstairs in jail, helping to prepare breakfast, when he escaped.
After escaping through the garbage disposal system, Medina-Bailon then hid in a dumpster when the trash was picked up by a garbage truck. The sheriff's office checked with the company providing garbage service to the jail facility which revealed they had already dumped their load at the landfill in Sunland Park, N.M.
Medina-Bailon had been housed at the Downtown jail for a month while awaiting trial on a federal drug charge of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute. Wiles confirmed Medina-Bailon does have ties to a Mexican drug cartel because of the drug charge.
El Paso County Sheriff Richard Wiles admitted Friday morning there was flaw in the way trash was disposed of at the jail and said they have fixed that flaw to prevent future escapes. He did not go into specifics of what was changed.
The downtown El Paso jail, operated by the El Paso County Sheriff's office, houses federal and local inmates awaiting trial. The jail is within walking distance of the Mexican border.
Sheriff's deputy Jesse Tovar said the last escape at the downtown jail was in 1997.

Ka-pow! Zing!

The landfill workers really dug having him around.

They were thrilled that someone delivered them a Mexican flatcake.

[CBT]

They were flattened by the news.
That's what she said.

[CBT]

He be hard pressed to find a worse escape plan.

[Haggis]

He could have hidden in the outhouse.

[Egon Spengler]

Talk about getting trashed... or wasted...

[thathotrodlincn]

You need to fill me in on that

[DOOM]

[twin03]

That is crazy.....

[PonyUP]

Even if he made it out, he would ahve been pulled over in Arizona because he was Mexican and that way we could have thrown out the trash instead of...no wait, it really was the perfect ending :lol:

[mrjones]

The article said there was a flaw in the way the trash was handled. I'm not seeing it.

[CBT]

Oooooo, ka-pow! Personally, I think the story is bogus. ONE illegal alien in the back of a truck? Come on, man.

[Bluerauder]

The article said there was a flaw in the way the trash was handled. I'm not seeing it.

My guess is that if the trash company employees were in on this, it would have been a successful escape attempt. The fact that the escapee got crushed was an accident. I would hope that their procedures would be altered to inspect the load or to assure the load is compacted before the truck leaves the loading dock...... thus removing the flaw in the process. :P

[CBT]

Ouch! Look at dudes head.

WHEAT RIDGE, Colo. -- An 82-year-old Wheat Ridge homeowner, Robert Wallace, was charged with attempted murder soon after police said he shot at two men stealing a trailer from his property in February.
One of the suspects, 28-year-old Alvaro Cardona-De Lorea, was shot through the eye, leaving him with brain damage and a disfigured skull.
The two men he shot at, however, remained free of charges for nearly five months until they were arrested last Friday.
The second theft suspect, Damacio Torres-Ochoa, 32, was arrested by federal immigrant authorities at his Boulder workplace on an immigration violation, authorities said. Wheat Ridge police arrested Cardona-De Lorea at a Westminster park.

The trailer theft and shooting case has added fuel to the volatile debate over illegal immigration.
The Wheat Ridge Police Department has been the target of heated criticism by talk radio hosts, especially immigration-policy hawk Peter Boyles, for going after Wallace while letting the thieves remain free.
Police spokeswoman Lisa Stigall said the agency had to hold back while an auto theft task force investigated whether Cardona-De Lorea and Torres-Ochoa were involved in a car-theft ring.
"They were being investigated as part of a much larger theft ring," Stigall said. "In order not to jeopardize those larger cases, the smaller cases will take a step back."
When the theft-ring case didn't pan out, police moved to arrest the trailer-theft suspects, Stigall said. She noted that police kept close tabs on Cardona-De Lorea and Torres-Ochoa, and they always cooperated with authorities.

The case began on the night of Feb. 24 when Wallace called 911 to report that two men in a red pickup truck had hooked up to his flatbed trailer outside his home and driven off with it.
Minutes later, Torres-Ochoa drove the pickup up to St. Anthony's Central Hospital with the gravely wounded Cardona-De Lorea, according to police records. Hospital staff spotted a bullet hole in the truck's passenger window.
Police quickly connected the shooting to the theft of Wallace's trailer.
Wallace, a onetime amateur auto racer who still tinkers with cars, initially denied shooting at the men stealing his trailer.
But his mood changed when police said they would obtain a warrant to search his home.
"Bunch of thieves take my trailer" and "look now," the homeowner told investigators, according to an arrest warrant affidavit. "Guess this is not going to turn out good."
Read Robert Wallace's arrest affidavit (http://www.thedenverchannel.com/download/2010/0713/24236184.pdf)

Wallace then produced a small handgun and said, "Here is what you're looking for," the affidavit said.
"I fired two shots in the direction of the truck," Wallace told investigators.
An acquaintance told police that Wallace told him he had "gotten off some shots …maybe two" and had possibly hit the back of the fleeing pickup, the affidavit said.
Wallace was arrested on charges of attempted murder and felony assault two days after the shooting.
Police said Wallace's actions did not meet the requirements of Colorado's "Make My Day" law. It states that residents are justified in defending themselves against an intruder in their home if they have a "reasonable belief" the person poses a threat.
Questions persist about how police handled the investigation of the theft suspects.
7NEWS has found that the two men have a history of violations that raise flags about whether they're legally in the United States.
Torres-Ochoa was arrested for aggravated vehicle theft and other felony theft charges in Adams County in 2005, according to state crime records.
But the more serious charges were dropped and Torres-Ochoa was allowed to plead guilty to trespassing on farm land, court records showed. He received a deferred sentence, allowing him to have his record cleared if he stayed out of trouble for two years. He was also ordered to perform 20 hours of community service.
Yet, Torres-Ochoa was arrested again in 2008 for felony larceny in Adams County.
Agricultural trespass plea deals became a hot issue in the 2006 governor's race, when it was revealed that the Denver district attorney's office, under future Gov. Bill Ritter, repeatedly allowed people charged with serious drug or violent crimes to plead guilty to farm land trespass.
Like Ritter's office, other county district attorneys at the time used the agricultural trespass charge because undocumented immigrants were likely to plead guilty to the lesser crime to avoid deportation.
A 2006 Colorado law required law enforcement officers to report an arrested individual to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement if they have "probable cause" to think the person is in the country illegally.
In Denver alone, Cardona-De Lorea was cited six times for driving without a license, four times for driving without insurance and three times for driving without valid license plates between March 1999 and July 2005, according to court records.
Law enforcement officials told 7NEWS such violations can be a sign the person lacks the legal immigrant status required to obtain a driver's license.
Yet, Stigall said her department was surprised when ICE agents arrested Torres-Ochoa for suspected immigration violations.
"There was nothing that tipped off your police officers that possibly these guys were undocumented?" 7NEWS Reporter Dayle Cedars asked.
"No, there was nothing that said that their immigration status was in question," Stigall said. She noted that both men presented valid identification during the investigation.
"If a person is jailed, then there is a verification process that goes into play where ICE is notified and they move forward with their process," she said.
The theft suspects had a hearing in Jefferson County court Monday. Both men spoke in Spanish through an interpreter.
Torres-Ochoa asked for reduced bond, saying: "I have no money and need to be by my family."
Cardona-De Lorea's brother told Judge Thomas Vance the defendant suffered brain damage when he was shot in the head and has trouble with speech and memory.
"I don't know what is happening," Cardona-De Lorea said. "I don't know what this is about."
Each man's bail was $100,000 and Vance reduced Torres-Ochoa's to $27,500 and Cardona-De Lorea's to $25,000.
They both remained in jail Monday.
