LAS CRUCES, NM (KRQE) – Myles Delando Luciano, 25, has been charged in federal court with armed robbery. According to a complaint, in July, Luciano and 25-year-old Joshua Lopez tried to walk out of Lowe’s store with an air conditioner without paying for it. When two and employees of an off-duty US Border Patrol agent tried to stop them, Luciano pointed out what looked like a gun at them and fled in a vehicle. It was later determined to be a pellet gun.
