The man allegedly behind a standoff from nearly four months ago has been arrested again. The San Benito Police Department apprehended 30-year-old Elidio Jesus Rodriguez and his common-law wife, 26-year-old Monica Rose Johnson on Monday, June 23.
According to SBPD Assistant Operations Chief Michael Galvan, detectives with the SBPD Special Operations Division arrested the couple for their involvement in a burglary of habitation, credit card abuse and aggravated assault.
