Johnny V. Spence Jr., 31, was arrested Tuesday following a wild, 400-mile ride that began about midnight Monday in Tuc son, Ariz., and ended Tuesday in Sierra Blanca, a West Texas town 100 miles east of El Paso. Spence was arraigned in El Paso on charges of kidnapping and interstate transportation of a stolen vehicle. Tina Spence of Dallas, Spence’s mother, said her son was hurrying home to Dallas to visit his father, who had suf fered a stroke. Michael Spence, Spence’s brother, said Spence had been having problems and needed help but was never violent. “It shocked the heck out of me,” Michael Spence said when he learned the details of the arrest. The Spence brother said the accused hijacker recently sepa rated from his wife and was starting a new life in Phoenix. “Johnny was a minister at the Canaan Baptist Church in Dallas before his marital problems be gan,” Michael Spence said. Bus driver Ramon Quiroz, 43, of Tucson, said Spence en tered the bus in a small town near Tucson carrying two knives with 4- or 5-inch blades. He said that after the bus departed Spence began prodding him, forcing him to drive up to 90 mph. Passengers said Quiroz braked the bus suddenly outside Sierra Blanca and threw Spence off balance. Spence then tum bled out of the bus and began running across the desert. None of the passengers were seriously injured, but three re ceived medical treatment, offi cials said. A U. S. Border Patrol helicop ter crew spotted Quiroz about a mile from the river, agents said. He was arrested by Hudspeth County Sheriffs deputies. Passengers recounted the trip as a “night of terror.” One pas senger said the bus ran through Las Cruces, N. M., at 90 mph “with no cops in sight any where.” olice beat he following incidents were )rted to the University Police artment through inesday: HEFTS: .
