On April 17, 2016, at approximately 11:24 p.m., San Angelo Troopers initiated a traffic stop on a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado for a defective stop lamp on Side View Road. As the trooper approached the vehicle he observed the right side passenger (Arturo Mascorro, 27, of San Angelo) exit the vehicle.
The pickup fled the scene as soon as the passenger shut the door. Tom Green Sheriff Deputies immediately followed the fleeing vehicle. Shortly after, the pickup truck crashed near Rio Concho Drive and the driver fled on foot. With the assistance of the San Angelo Police Department, the driver was located near Bosque Park. The subject was identified as Albert Munoz-Gil Junior, 27, out of Del Rio Texas.

Munoz-Gil was charged with evading in a motor vehicle with previous conviction, manufacture/delivery of a controlled substance PG1 = >4grams <200grams, and being a fugitive from justice.
