SANTA FE, N.M. — A Santa Fe man is behind bars after police say he tried to sexually assault two teenagers outside Capital High School.

Officers arrested 18-year-old Alvaro Luna Huereca on Tuesday. According to police, he admitted to two incidents that allegedly happened just this month.

On August 16, Huereca allegedly attacked a teenager and tried sexually assaulting her outside the high school on August 16. But he reportedly left after the teen started screaming for help.

Four days later, a second teen said that a man ran up to her from behind, grabbed her and put his hand over her mouth. She said it happened while she was walking home from the same high school.
