(October 5, 2008)—Four Fort Bliss soldiers have been arrested and charged with felonies in connection with a recent BB gun shooting spree in El Paso that left one man wounded.
Police made the arrests a week after residents reported that vandals had been driving around shooting at residential windows, vehicles and at least at one person.
Ruben Dario Hernandez, Jr., 20, Garrett Robert Moody, 19, Zachary Cole Folsom, 17, and Kelly Carlson, 19, were taken into custody on post in cooperation with Fort Bliss authorities, El Paso police spokesman Javier Sambrano said.
He told the El Paso Times that each soldier faces a first-degree felony charge of engaging in organized criminal activity-aggravated assault with a deadly weapon since they allegedly worked together to shoot a man with the BB gun.
