CELL SLAMMED

8/27, Gallup

McKinley County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Anthony Morales said he was dispatched to the county jail at about 7 am Aug. 27 to take a report of an assault on an inmate by another inmate.

When he arrived, Morales met Valerie Lopez who said she was punched in the faced three times by another inmate. She said she did not swing back at the inmate.

According to the report, at that point, correctional guards arrived, and Lopez said one of them slammed her against the wall and placed her in handcuffs.

She said she was not supposed to have been placed in handcuffs because she didn’t do anything wrong.

Morales said he did not see any injuries on Lopez. He advised Lopez that he would be making a report, and it would be up to her to go to court and file charges against the other inmate, since it was a battery that Morales did not witness the event.

 

TUBE TAKEN

8/23, Gamerco

MCSO deputies are investigating a report of a break-in at a residence on Drago Street in Gamerco.

The owner of the residence said that sometime on Aug. 23, someone broke into her house and stole a television from the living room. The owner said she thought a relative did it, because this same person had broken into her garage a few days before.

No arrests have been made, and the matter is still under investigation.

 

RUNAWAYS

8/17, Gallup

MCSO Deputy Anthony Morales said he was dispatched to the eastbound lane of Interstate 40 at about 9:30 am on Aug.17 in reference to a report of a runaway juvenile from Ohio.

He said he found the vehicle with Ohio plates traveling westbound near the 28-mile marker and conducted a traffic stop.

Morales reportedly found three juveniles in the vehicle, two 16-year-olds and one 15-year-old. The juveniles were taken into custody, and police in Urbana, Ohio, were notified.

Police later learned that one of the juveniles had a bench warrant out from the sheriff’s office in Lyons County, NV, and the warrant was extraditable.
