A tense standoff in Price ended with the arrest of 52-year-old Rogelio Bustillos, who now faces multiple charges after allegedly detaining three men at gunpoint. Reportedly, the incident was fueled by Bustillos's belief that the men had relationships with his wife, KUTV reported.
Police sources indicate Bustillos barged into a home and held the men captive, a scenario that lasted approximately two hours. During the ordeal, Bustillos is said to have demanded answers from the victims regarding his wife’s whereabouts and accused them of sleeping with her. KSL detailed an affidavit stating, "Rogelio places the gun against the victims' heads. Rogelio tells the victims if they do not give him the information he wants, he would kill them."
The confrontation extended beyond the home, as Bustillos directed the hostages to turn off their phones and ride their bicycles to a local restaurant where they were employed, all the while threatening their lives should they seek help. The pursuit continued until a phone call seemingly persuaded Bustillos to desert his captives and return home, FOX 13 Now reported.
Following a manhunt spanning Carbon and Emery counties, law enforcement apprehended Bustillos without further incident. He remains detained without bail, held on 12 felony charges, which include kidnapping and aggravated assault, as well as multiple misdemeanors.
