Man Involved in Standoff at Lubbock National Guard Armory Faces 5 Years in Federal Prison
A Lubbock man who was arrested last year after a standoff at the National Guard Armory located near Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport has pleaded guilty to a federal charge.
Forty-eight-year-old Gene Garcia Solis was arrested on November 26th, 2021 after a standoff with various law enforcement officers and a SWAT team that took more than 30 hours to resolve.
This week, Solis pleaded guilty to a charge of interstate threatening communications. During the standoff Solis had threatened to kill his ex-wife and anyone else who confronted him, as well as threatening to take his own life. Solis faces up to five years in federal prison.
