SANTA FE — The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office was still searching Wednesday for a man who allegedly fired two shots at a deputy after a road-rage incident the day before.

The sheriff’s office says Randy Branch, 29, first pointed a gun at another driver on U.S. 84/285 north of Santa Fe, then shot at the deputy and led police on a high-speed chase.

According to a criminal complaint filed in Magistrate Court, Deputy Kevin Miller, who had a civilian woman on a ride-along with him, spotted a GMC Envoy whose driver was reported to have been involved in the road rage case Tuesday morning.

After Miller turned on his emergency lights and attempted to pull over the Envoy, the driver — later identified as Branch, of Hernandez — refused to stop and reached out his window with a black object in his hand, the complaint says.

Branch began weaving in between lanes at about 90 mph when he took aim at the pursuing deputy. “Deputy Miller observed the driver lean out of the vehicle holding a black in color firearm in his left hand and point the firearm towards Deputy Miller’s patrol unit,” the complaint says. “Deputy Miller stated the driver fired two rounds in his direction.”

Miller eventually lost Branch near St. Francis Drive and Paseo de Peralta in Santa Fe.

A short time later, another deputy saw him on N.M. 599 and began a pursuit. Branch got back on U.S. 84/285 northbound and began swerving among other vehicles at speeds of around 100 mph and nearly hit several cars, according to the complaint. He managed to get away again.

The man who made the initial 911 call told deputies that Branch was swerving towards other cars on U.S. 84/285 and was “brake checking” him. As he passed the SUV, the man said the driver pointed a black handgun at him but didn’t shoot.

On April 2, Branch was arrested on two counts of felony possession of a controlled substance and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm on April 2 after a Bernalillo County deputy found him with suspected heroin, meth and a .45-caliber gun. The Albuquerque district attorney’s office filed a motion to have Branch held until trial, citing his criminal record, history of drug and alcohol abuse and “records concerning appearance at court proceedings.”

But the motion was withdrawn two days later, on April 5. “The State respectfully requests that the Court release the Defendant and adopt the pre-trial services level recommended by the Public Safety Assessment,” a court notice filed by Assistant District Attorney Celina Hoffman says.

In the road-rage case, he’s wanted on charges of aggravated assault on a peace officer with a deadly weapon, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, being a felon in possession of a firearm, shooting at or from a motor vehicle, aggravated fleeing a law enforcement officer andnegligent use of a deadly weapon.

Branch pleaded guilty to one count of assault by a prisoner in Torrance County in February 2016, according to court records.
