DOUBLE GPS LARCENY

Gallup, June 3

Gallup Police Officer Alana Bradley was dispatched to 285 S. Boardman Dr. in response to a pair of larcenies that were reported by the Gallup Magistrate Court.

When Bradley made contact with the court, she was told that two people had failed to charge their GPS monitors as part of a signed written contract for the McKinley County Compliance Program.

Tyson Long, 23, of Iyanbito, and Terran Sam, 28, of Gallup, were identified by the magistrate court.

Bradley said she took on further action, but no other information was given in her report.

 

MULTIPLE WINDOW BREAKER

Gallup, June 3

Gallup Patrolman Terrance Peyketewa was dispatched to 1050 Hwy. 491 near Aztec Laundry north just after midnight on June 3 in reference to a man who was seen throwing rocks at windows on the building south of KFC north.

When Peyketewa arrived, he was told the man was wearing a white tank top and white shorts and he was seen heading north on Highway 491. Peyketewa headed north and spotted a man matching the description, Rudy Lopez, 24, of Albuquerque, outside World Finance at 1211 Hwy. 491.

Lopez fled the scene as Peyketewa pulled up to the business. Peyketewa also noted two of the building’s windows had been shattered, and he called in Gallup Police Officers Christopher Dawes and Jerald Watchman to assist in tracking down Lopez.

The three officers searched the area around World Finance, O’Reilly Auto Parts north, and Jiffy Lube. Dawes then said he spotted a man matching Lopez’s description near King Dragon, and upon getting there the officers were able to take Lopez into custody.

Peyketewa listed the businesses with damaged windows: World Finance had two two-by-seven feet windows and one six-by-five feet safety glass door valued at $1,000. O’Reilly Auto Parts, Eagle Vision, and KFC each had multiple window damage estimated at $1,000.

Lopez was taken to the county jail for booking.

 

VEHICLE DAMAGE

Gallup, June 3

Gallup Patrolman Domenic Molina was dispatched to Desert Skies Motel, 1073 W. Hwy. 66, just after midnight on June 3 in reference to vehicle damage.

When Molina arrived at the scene, he spotted a white Toyota passenger car with a New Mexico license plate that had damage to each of its windows. Molina spoke with the victim, who said that she heard the noise from her room and saw a man in a gray sweater running away afterward.

The victim was unable to identify the male, except that he could have been Native American. The victim also said they do not know who could have done it, or why.

The damage to the vehicle appeared to have been done with a pipe or tube-shaped blunt object, Molina reported. The damage is also estimated to be worth about $2,400.
