Albuquerque cops nabbed a suspect in multiple sexual assaults that allegedly occurred near the Downs Racetrack & Casino, leaving locals shaken. The goat-roping cretin, Josue Macias, 35, is now cooling his heels in the Metropolitan Detention Center, with nary a penny for bond.
Saturday saw the arrest of Macias after authorities linked a silver Volkswagen Jetta to the crime scenes. Seems these metal gossipers are more useful than one might imagine. A license plate reader system snitched on Macias's whip, keeping tabs on the devious bastard's movements in relation to the assaults reported. Cops traced the vehicle to a hair salon in southwest Albuquerque, and, behold, there was ol’ Macias, nabbed without incident.
Knife Threats and Car-bound Coercion
According to court docs, two of the targeted women reported that their attacker wielded a knife or box cutter during the assaults. Needless to say, this tallied with the victims’ recollections, who stated that they were hitching a ride from Macias outside the casino entrance before being driven to dark, secluded alleyways around Albuquerque. There, they claim the attacker violated them.
Once in cuffs, Macias sang like a canary, confessing to a sexual romp with the women, but insisting it was consensual and he paid them fair and square. When questioned as to why the women accused him of non-consensual acts, he tried to save his scrawny neck by claiming he used a "razor" to coerce the women out of his car when they supposedly refused to leave.
Charges Galore
Macias now faces three counts of second-degree criminal sexual penetration, kidnapping, and assault with intent to commit a violent felony. Law enforcement keeps a close eye on him, ready to pounce if he dares to wiggle his way out of the slammer.
Authorities fear that there may be more victims who haven't yet come forward. The Albuquerque Police Department beckons anyone who may have crossed paths with Macias or experienced similar heinous acts near the Downs Racetrack & Casino to contact the department's Sex Crimes Unit promptly.
