ROLANDO ORTIZ
JULY 1999
ROLANDO WAS CAPTURED BY DARRYL PEARSON, WHILE ATTENDING A MUSIC FUNCTION IN DOWNTOWN SAN ANTONIO, AT THE MERCADO SQUARE. APPROXIMATELY 2,500-3,000 PEOPLE WERE THERE. I TOOK A BREAK FROM MY "HUNTING", AND WENT WITH SOME FRIENDS TO THIS EVENT. WHEN WE ARRIVED THERE, ONE OF THE FRIENDS HAD TO GO TO THE "POTTY". WE ALL WALKED TO THE BACK OF THIS BAR, AND THE "POTTY LINE" WAS KIND OF LONG. MY FRIEND STOOD IN LINE, AND I HEADED TO THE FRONT DOOR TO WAIT ON HIM. AS I EXITED THE DOOR, ANOTHER GUY WAS COMING IN, AND WAS ALMOST LITERALLY RAN INTO EACH OTHER. I TOOK ONE LOOK AT HIM, AND REALIZED HE WAS THE FUGITIVE I HAD HUNTED SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE. OUT OF SEVERAL THOUSAND PEOPLE, WHO WOULD EXPECT THIS NICE LITTLE SURPRISE! MY FUGITIVE WENT TO THE BACK WHERE THE "POTTYS" WERE, AND STOOD IN LINE RIGHT BEHIND MY FRIEND! MY FRIEND WAS NEXT IN LINE TO USE THE 'JOHN', AND CAUSALLY TURNED AROUND AND LOOKED AT HIM. I SAW THE PUZZLED LOOK ON HIS FACE; BECAUSE I HAD SHOWN HIM A PICTURE OF MY FUGITIVE BEFORE WE LEFT THE HOUSE. WHEN MY FRIEND CAME OUT OF THE JOHN, HE APPROACHED ME AT THE BAR, AND SAID, "HEY DARYL, THAT GUY LOOKS LIKE THE GUY YOU ARE AFTER". I SAID, "YES, I KNOW. I WAS WAITING TO SEE IF YOU WOULD NOTICE HIM." WE BOTH WAITED FOR MY FUGITIVE TO COME OUT OF THE 'JOHN'. THE SUSPECT WAS PUT AGAINST THE WALL, CUFFED, AND LED OUTSIDE, STRAIGHT TO SOME WAITING COPS WHO WERE WORKING THE EVENT. MY GUY HAD FELONY WARRANTS, SO THE OFFICERS HAD NO TROUBLE TAKING HIM FROM ME. MY FRIENDS AND I ENJOYED THE REST OF THE NIGHT! YOU KNOW.....SOMETIMES THE DEVIL JUST CAN'T PROTECT HIS OWN.
