New Mexico high school wrestler pins down suspected kidnapper at convenience store
A Mayfield (N.M.) High School student is being lauded as a hero after helping to stop an alleged kidnapping and assault by pinning a man to the ground until authorities arrived.
Daniel Arroyo Beltran, 22, of Phoenix, was arrested by Doña Ana (N.M.) County Sheriff’s deputies Wednesday after witnesses say he tried to kidnap three children at Chucky’s Gas Station in Doña Ana. He’s also accused of assaulting several patrons and employees who tried to intervene.
Beltan is charged with four counts of battery, two counts of assault, two counts of child abuse and one count of kidnapping.
The seemingly random attack didn’t end until Canaan Bower entered the affray and was able to control Beltran, within seconds, according to witness statements.
Bower, 16, won a district championship in the heavyweight division (285 pounds) on Feb. 16, and later competed at the state tournament.
