A Lubbock man who was arrested last year after a standoff at the National Guard Armory located near Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport has pleaded guilty to a federal charge.

Forty-eight-year-old Gene Garcia Solis was arrested on November 26th, 2021 after a standoff with various law enforcement officers and a SWAT team that took more than 30 hours to resolve.

This week, Solis pleaded guilty to a charge of interstate threatening communications. During the standoff Solis had threatened to kill his ex-wife and anyone else who confronted him, as well as threatening to take his own life. Solis faces up to five years in federal prison.
