Alleged Carjacker Caught Outside Albuquerque Casino

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A man is in jail after allegedly carjacking a vehicle from two teenage girls and leading Albuquerque police on a high-speed chase. Police spokesman Fred Duran says the incident began early Sunday near Pat Hurley Park. A 17-year-old girl and her 18-year-old friend reported a suspect with three knives banging on their car windows and yelling. The victims exited the vehicle and the suspected demanded the car keys. Officers located the vehicle, which then fled a traffic stop. The suspect drove to The Downs Casino and tried to run inside. Police were able to take 42-year-old Quentin Quintana into custody. He has been booked on charges of armed robbery, unlawful taking of a motor vehicle and other offenses. Authorities say Quintana has a prior arrest record dating back to 1995.
