UPDATE: 🚨 TWO INDIVIDUALS ARRESTED DURING SWAT MISSION IN HEREFORD 🚨

The Sierra Vista Police Department announced Wednesday that two individuals were taken into custody during a SWAT operation carried out in Hereford Tuesday evening.

According to the Sierra Vista Police Department, the Cochise County Regional SWAT Team responded to the 7300 block of Lariat Road on May 19 at approximately 5:30 p.m. to serve arrest warrants on two individuals identified as Fabian Barquez-Martinez, 32, and Ayla Adams, 21.

SVPD stated that investigators elected to utilize the SWAT team and issue a shelter-in-place order for nearby residents due to safety concerns and one of the suspect’s prior history of fleeing from law enforcement.

The Sierra Vista Police Department stated in its press release:

“Due to an abundance of caution and one of the individual’s history of fleeing from law enforcement, investigators chose to use the SWAT team and issue a shelter in place to the immediate area during the operation.”

According to police, both individuals complied with commands and surrendered peacefully during the mission. Authorities say the shelter-in-place order was lifted once both individuals were safely in custody.

According to information released by SVPD:

• Fabian Barquez-Martinez, 32, was booked into the Cochise County Jail on warrants for:

- Unlawful Flight from Law Enforcement
- Endangerment
- Unlawful Imprisonment
- Failure to Appear

• Ayla Adams, 21, was booked into the Cochise County Jail on a warrant for Failure to Appear.

The Sierra Vista Police Department further stated:

“Adams was booked into the Cochise County Jail on a warrant for failure to appear out of Maricopa County. Martinez, who fled detectives during an attempted traffic stop on May 5 and who did not give the passenger a chance to exit the vehicle before fleeing, was booked into the jail on warrants for failure to appear, unlawful flight from law enforcement, endangerment, and unlawful imprisonment.”

‼️STATEMENT REGARDING STATE v. CORREA ‼️

The following is the full statement released by the Cochise County Attorney's Office regarding State v. Correa:

“County Attorney Lori Zucco and the Cochise County Attorney’s Office recused themselves from the prosecution of Paul Correa immediately following the incident at Target. Before Mr. Correa was arrested or formally charged, County Attorney Zucco contacted Arizona Prosecuting Attorneys’ Advisory Council (APAAC) Executive Director Elizabeth Ortiz to arrange the appointment of conflict counsel due to the unique circumstances of the case, the importance of maintaining the highest ethical standards, and the need to avoid any appearance of impropriety.

Ms. Ortiz subsequently contacted La Paz County Attorney Rachel Shackelford, who agreed to personally handle the prosecution. We are grateful to Ms. Shackelford for her professionalism, experience, and willingness to assist in this matter.

Because the case remains pending, ethical obligations prevent further comment regarding the prosecution of Mr. Correa at this time.

County Attorney Zucco terminated Mr. Correa’s employment immediately upon his arrest. She also extends her deepest sympathy and respect to the victim and her family.”
