CHEYENNE — An F.E. Warren Air Force Base airman was arrested Monday on a felony warrant for aggravated assault with threat of a deadly weapon.

Dionido Bauzon, 22, was arrested for allegedly threatening a fellow airman with a gun over a game of beer pong at a Super Bowl party on Feb. 9.

Witnesses say that Bauzon pulled the weapon after the airmen said he looked like “Diego off of Dora the Explorer.” Bauzon then said to the group, “I don’t know any of you, but I’ll kill all of you,” according to court documents.

Bauzon’s beer pong partner and another airman were able to step in and de-escalate the situation. Bauzon was then told he had to leave the party, according to court documents.

Initially, the incident was investigated by the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations (OSI), but was turned over to the Laramie County Sheriff’s Office on May 14 once they determined the incident took place off-base.

Following an investigation, a warrant for Bauzon’s arrest was filed Sept. 11.

Explanations as to why it took two months to determine the event took place off-base, then another five months to get an arrest warrant, were not included in court documents.

Bauzon’s preliminary hearing has not yet been scheduled.

Witness statements

On the day of the incident, Bauzon was playing beer pong with three other guys at a Super Bowl party, hosted in an Airbnb located in the 8400 block of Ridge Road.

His partner and he were winning the game, and so their opponents started to “trash-talk” them, according to court documents.

The two victims told OSI agents that they had implied that Bauzon couldn’t shoot, then one victim said he looked like “Diego off of Dora the Explorer.”

Bauzon then pulled out a firearm and pointed it at the fellow airmen, according to court documents.

Some witnesses reported seeing the magazine of the gun sticking out of Bauzon’s right pants pocket before the game; the weapon was consistently described as a “tan Glock.”

Witnesses told agents that the gun was pointed at the airman anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes, according to court documents.

“(The airman) feared for his life, but was comforted because his friends who were at the party had been Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) trained,” according to court documents.

The gun had a blue laser attached to it, which was aimed at the airman’s chest until Bauzon’s pong partner and another airman were able to step in and de-escalate the situation, victims told OSI agents.

After Bauzon had calmed down, two of his peers helped him get out of the Airbnb and back to his dorm on base, according to court documents.

Bauzon’s pong partner later approached the airmen and apologized on his behalf, saying he had pulled the gun because they didn’t know each other, and he didn’t expect all the “trash talk.”

On Sept. 5, Sheriff’s Office Detective Michael Young received CCTV footage of the front door of the Airbnb.

The footage confirmed that Bauzon’s pong partner had stepped in to de-escalate the situation, and that Bauzon was asked at least twice to leave.

The video shows Bauzon leaving the party, with an object consistent with the grip of a handgun sticking out of his right pants pocket, according to court documents.

Eleven other attendees gave similar accounts of the events, according to court documents.

Airmen-involved incidents

This is the third time this year that an airman from the 90th Missile Wing at F.E. Warren has been charged with a violent crime. Both other incidents have involved young men accused of shooting and killing another airman.

“First and foremost, we want to emphasize that unprofessional behavior is not condoned or tolerated within the 90th Missile Wing,” the wing’s chief of media relations, Glenn Robertson, shared with the Wyoming Tribune Eagle via email Tuesday evening. “Every Airman, regardless of rank, is expected to uphold the highest standards of conduct both on and off duty. We are committed to ensuring that those who violate these standards are held accountable, in accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice and local laws.”

The wing’s leadership takes these matters extremely seriously and works closely with local law enforcement to ensure all legal protocols are followed and that “justice is served,” Robertson said.

When asked if there have been additional incidents of violent crimes between airmen that haven’t been made public, and if so, why, Robertson reiterated the wing’s commitment to justice.

“We take all incidents of violent crime very seriously and are committed to holding Airmen accountable for their actions,” Robertson said. “Leadership within the 90th Missile Wing has enhanced training, increased mental health support, and continues to maintain close collaboration with local law enforcement. We are dedicated to ensuring our Airmen uphold the highest standards of conduct both on and off duty.”
