Man charged for false threat to Albuquerque City Hall building

The man Albuquerque police arrested Monday afternoon amid a false active shooting and hostage situation report crawled through a window in the city hall lobby and started yelling that there was a shooter in the building.

KOB cameras caught 28-year-old Daniel Olguin being led from City Hall in handcuffs Monday afternoon as SWAT teams swept the building.

He faces one charge of breaking and entering and two charges of false imprisonment – all felonies.

According to a criminal complaint for his arrest, Olguin was the initiator of the entire incident.

After officers were dispatched to the building when several people called 911 to report an active shooter, they came upon Olguin on the first floor – where one of the callers was hiding.

An officer wrote in his criminal complaint that he appeared to be under the influence of narcotics and was nervous.

One of the women who called police said they saw Olguin try and enter the lobby through a door, which was locked. So he instead crawled through a small security window at the customer service counter and began shouting that there was a shooter in the building.

The caller and another woman barricaded themselves behind a door and called police. At one point, Olguin came up to the door and asked if the doors were locked. The women would not leave the office, saying they feared for their lives.

After hours of sweeping the 11 floors and basement of the building, police gave the all-clear early Tuesday morning.

Olguin is being held on a $12,500 cash or surety bond at the Metropolitan Detention Center.
