On August 22, 2026, Craig police located Antonio Archuleta at a home near E 6th St and Washington St; he refused to exit, prompting activation of the regional NWCO SWAT team. Negotiators texted with Archuleta and two NFDDs (flashbangs) were deployed outside the residence; after about three hours he surrendered at roughly 00:38am and was taken into custody without incident, held at the Moffat County Jail on $30,000 bond. He faces charges including 18-3-203 (2nd Degree Assault—Strangulation), 18-3-204 (3rd Degree Assault), 18-6-800.3 (Domestic Violence), 18-9-119 (Failure to Leave Premises) and two counts of 18-6-803.5 (Violation of a Protection Order); all persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
