The group ran from the deputy shortly after one of the men was placed into handcuffs.

One of the men, 25-year-old Pedro Madrigal Otriz, was located Thursday morning and taken into custody after he was found hiding in a ditch near Finning Mill Roadwhile, deputies say.

The remaining suspects, Ruben Villejas, 26; Dimas Licea Ortiz, 22; Jose Luis Licea Ortiz, 20 were arrested Friday night, although the details of their arrest have not yet been released.
