 A 48-year-old man has been arrested following the evacuation of the New Mexico Capitol in Santa Fe after a caller allegedly threatened to kill himself there and blow up the building.

State Police Lt. Emmanuel Gutierrez says the building was closed Monday afternoon after being evacuated. Normal operations resume Tuesday.

Gutierrez said officers arrested 48-year-old Matthew Pacheco Monday night at a drug store in Taos, which is about 55 miles north of Santa Fe.

Gutierrez described Pacheco as suicidal and said he is accused of crimes that include making a bomb scare and using a telephone to terrify, intimidate, threaten, harass, annoy or offend.

It’s not immediately known whether Pacheco has an attorney.
