Where Does an Ice Cream Vendor Allegedly Try to Kill a Customer? In The Diversity Zone, That’s Where!

By Nicholas Stix

In Albuquerque, Ice Cream Vendor from Hell Elias Montano Has No Change, and Allegedly Tries to Kill Customer Jose Chavez, Who was Buying Treats for His Family of Seven

Jose Chavez: “He pulls a pocket out of his knife.” Wife Crichelle Chavez: “You just realize you don't know who anyone is. [You sure don’t, Mrs. Chavez; not in The Diversity Zone.] It's a business for children.”

Methinks we will find issues in Elias Montano’s past: Violent crime, and possibly that he is a criminal invader. Of course, given the Chavezes’ casual relationship to the English language, they may well be invaders, too, and with five little anchors, but at least they try to speak English—when they have no choice. (At least KOAT didn’t automatically send a Hispanic reporter to cover a story involving Hispanics.)

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Albuquerque police said they arrested an ice cream man after he tried to attack a customer with a knife.

The incident happened in northeast Albuquerque over the weekend.

The sound of an ice cream truck brings joy to many, but it’s a tune that the Chavez family doesn’t want to hear any time soon.

“I won’t look at an ice cream truck the same way,” father Jose Chavez said.

The family of seven rushed outside on Sunday, got a few ice creams from a truck passing by and then handed over $20 to the man and the woman running the operation. But there was a problem.

“They didn’t have change,” Chavez said.

When the family tried to return the ice creams, a couple of which the kids had unwrapped, police said Elias Montano jumped out of the truck.

“You’re a business and you’re supposed to have change and he jumps out and pulls the knife out of his pocket and comes rushing at me,” Chavez said.

The family got away safely. When police showed up, they arrested Montano for the attempted knife attack.

“My heart just started pounding. I just rounded up the kids and got inside,” mother Crichelle Chavez said. “You just realize you don't know who anyone is. It's a business for children.”

According to the criminal complaint, witnesses backed up Chavez’s story. Montano was booked for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
