Joe Rios Quotations

On one of the roadways, it appears they were exchanging gun fire and the victim suffered one round.

I'd be sitting in my truck and I would feel someone rocking it, like you were sitting in a boat and you feel it rocking. I would get up and nobody would be there. In the morning, I saw little hand prints all over it in the dust.

Had that situation happened today with a different (review) board in place with the confidence we have in the community, that decision could have been far more severe. We don't know, because every situation is dealt with differently.

Had deadly force been used, it would have been justified.

It appears that her story at least adds up for now. We identified her and we released her.

We did the best we could with the information we had. There just wasn't much to go with.

While investigating, working this case, a rider started making threats to the police officers and their lives.

We went there, took the report, and have been investigating this for the last about three months. But this crime has probably been occurring for over, a little over a year.

At times you can hear voices at night, like mumbling. I would hear like ladies screaming and kids talking like at a distance. I would follow the voice. The closer I would get, it would keep moving. I would walk inside the gin and I'd hear it outside.

According to the evidence (it was) probably a running gun battle with the two cars shooting at each other.

The officers were pulled into the crowd and several people attacked or assaulted officers by punching them.

The majority of officers are going to be handling traffic accidents on days like this.

An adult can be gone if they want to be gone. And unless there's blood found or any kind of thing out of the ordinary, there's nothing we can do.
