On 11-18-2016 at approximately 4:30 p.m, a Jasper County deputy noticed a vehicle roadside
near Prigmor and I-44.
As he checked on the vehicle, the occupants appeared to be very nervous.
Other deputies arrived on scene as back up. As the deputy was contacting to the two male
subjects, one of the male subjects ran and brandished a firearm towards the deputy as he was
running.
I-44 was shut down temporarily at this point for safety as deputies, along with
Missouri State Highway Patrol, Joplin Police Department, Duenweg and Carterville began
searching for the male.
A short time later, the male was located and taken into custody. No one
was injured during this incident.
The two males were arrested and identified as Ruben Longoria, 26, of Phoenix, AZ and Derek M.
Gallegos,23, of Los Lemas, NM.
Ruben was arrested for driving while suspended and Gallegos was arrested for 1st degree
assault on a law enforcement officer.
Charges have been sent to the Prosecutor's Office.
