A radio patrol had arrested him the day before in the Las Torres area and took him to headquarters. During an earlier arrest, he had been shot twice in the foot. This time, he tried to escape on a stolen motorcycle but was stopped by the police. He was overpowered by three police officers, who cuffed his hands behind his back with metal handcuffs. He was interrogated in an office. The interrogation was calm, with no threats or force. However, he noted that if one did not behave well, the officers could get nasty. He had been arrested some 20 times before and was never ill-treated. He had been in the cell since 4 p.m. the previous day and had not eaten anything. His family had not been notified of the arrest. He had seen his lawyer, who told him that he would face charges of robbery.
