Parents zapped, cop slapped in arrest of family

Maricopa police tased and arrested a family of three Monday morning.  

A car crash into a Sorrento house ended in a fight with the police, according to a probable cause statement obtained by InMaricopa. 

It was around 4 a.m. when officers responded to a home on West Mondragon Lane near North Angelico Drive after the homeowner, 39-year-old Narda Castillo, told dispatch someone “broke her window” and to “just send someone.” Castillo hung up the phone and would not answer calls back. 

When officers arrived, they saw damage to the garage and a window. 

Officers found Castillo’s ex-husband, 55-year-old Osvaldo Gomez, running away from the house and tried to detain him before he began resisting, according to police documents. 

Cops tried to subdue Gomez with a taser, but Castillo allegedly tried to stop them by attacking an officer. Castillo pulled the taser probes out of Gomez’s back while resisting her own arrest. 

Both Gomez and Castillo were tased again before their daughter, 20-year-old Jazmine Gomez-Castillo, slapped one of the cops in the face. Police told Gomez-Castillo she was also under arrest, but she tried to flee. 

Eventually the family of three was placed in cuffs.  

Officers named Gomez as the primary suspect for the damage to the home, noting he has previous criminal damage reports at that address. Police estimated the damage to the home totaled $1,200 and noted a large rock was thrown through the front window. The garage and the doorbell camera were damaged.  

Gomez was booked into the Pinal County jail on felony counts of criminal damage and resisting arrest and was slapped with misdemeanor charges of criminal nuisance and disorderly conduct. He faces more than six and a half years in prison. 

Castillo and Gomez-Castillo were each booked into the jail on felony counts of aggravated assault on an officer and misdemeanor counts of resisting arrest. They both face two and a half years in prison.
