Prosecutors dismissed charges against an Ojo Sarco man whom an Española police officer initially arrested for refusing to talk to medics.

Prosecutors dismissed the charges Officer J. Quintana brought against Lucas Martinez, 37, on Oct. 8, writing in a boilerplate notice of dismissal that the case was being dismissed pending further investigation.

Quintana was first sent to the scene involving Martinez on June 29, when he was reported as being passed out near the Dollar Tree. When he got there, he found Martinez slumped over the curb and Martinez told Quintana that he suffers from seizures. When Quintana repeatedly asked him for his name and date of birth, Martinez “proceeded to act in an aggressive manner,” Quintana wrote in a criminal complaint for Martinez’s arrest. Martinez yelled and cursed at medics on the scene and refused to cooperate with them, at which point Quintana threatened to arrest him for disorderly conduct for not giving his personal information to the medics.

Quintana took Martinez to the hospital, where Martinez allegedly broke the railing to the bed he was handcuffed to. When Quintana looked for Martinez after he escaped from the hospital, he found him running past the elementary school on Coronado Avenue, with his pants down and brought him back to the hospital. Martinez allegedly threatened to beat up Quintana and told him that he did not “know who my family is.” While being taken to a holding cell at the police station, he allegedly kicked Quintana in the leg.

The dismissed charges are: disorderly conduct, concealing identity, criminal, damage to property over $1,000, battery on an officer, assault on an officer, indecent exposure, resisting arrest and three counts of resisting an officer.
