(Courtesy Photo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p>Five days after being granted a $500 bond in the 22nd Judicial District, Duece Martinez, 18, was arrested on a warrant from Archuleta County for failing to appear in court and allegedly for violating a court-ordered protection order.<\/p>\n<p>Martinez was arrested July 7 after Montezuma County Sheriff Deputy Peter Schmalz found him in a 2006 Dodge Charger at Hawkins Preserve, near 1515 S. Oak St.<\/p>\n<p>Schmalz said that as he drove up, he saw a woman hiding in the back seat.<\/p>\n<p>Martinez refused to open the car door, saying he worried that Schmalz would \u201crip him out\u201d of the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>After Martinez repeatedly refused to leave the car, Schmalz pulled out a baton and Deputy Daylan Guttridge got his window breaker and Schmalz threatened to break the window and pull him out.<\/p>\n<p>Martinez then exited the vehicle. He identified the woman in the car as Lillian Uptain, 19. A June court order restrains him from being near her.<\/p>\n<p>While Schmalz took Martinez to the Montezuma County Detention Center, Guttridge discovered what appeared to be a bullet hole in the bumper above the tailpipe, and the Sheriff\u2019s Office seized the car.<\/p>\n<p>Because Martinez was with Uptain, he was found to be in violation of an order July 2 from 22nd Judicial District Judge Douglas Walker that allowed him out of jail on the condition that he stay away from Uptain.<\/p>\n<p>The July 2 court appearance followed Martinez\u2019s arrest for DUI on June 16, three days after he was arrested in a domestic violence case involving Uptain. During the July hearing, Martinez\u2019s attorney, Annalise Hodges, said Martinez understood the consequences of violating the protection order.<\/p>\n<p>Martinez\u2019s next hearing is Thursday, July 18 at 11 a.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>less than a week after being given bond<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":26099,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[21,133,168,28,52,60,29],"naviga_topic":[],"class_list":["post-26709","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-cortez","tag-courts","tag-crime","tag-headlines","tag-law-enforcement","tag-montezuma-county","tag-newsletter"],"acf":[],"author_name":"dh_admin","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26709","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26709"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26709\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":79452,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26709\/revisions\/79452"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26099"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26709"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26709"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26709"},{"taxonomy":"naviga_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/naviga_topic?post=26709"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
