FIESTY DRUNK

1/29, GALLUP

Who knows what caused Myron Peters of Yatahey to become irate, but he was in full form when Gallup Police Department Officer Victor Rodriguez arrived on scene at the Sports Page at 1400 S. Second St. Peters was laying on his back and bleeding from “behind his head,” according to the police report.

It was apparent that Peters, 25, didn’t want the help of the officer or two Community Service Aids and began kicking and screaming, and dropping F-bombs. He managed to get some hits in. After he was carted off to a local hospital for treatment, he was booked for battery upon a peace officer and resisting, evading, or obstruction an officer.

TASERED TWICE

1/29, GALLUP

Perhaps if Leanderson Bahe, 37, would have complied with Officer Rodriguez request to leave his apartment to cool down after an argument with his girlfriend, he may have avoided being arrested or even faced lesser charges if arrested. But he didn’t comply, instead he argued with officers and charged at his girlfriend. From there, he began to physically lash out.

According to the report, the first taser blast came when he refused to stop kicking. The blast to the thigh didn’t’ seem to faze him. The second one to his rib area did the job. He was charged with assault on a household member, interference with communications, disorderly conduct, and resisting, evading, or obstruction an officer.

ANGRY SISTER

1/29, GALLUP

A woman, sick of her drunk and disorderly sister, called police to get them remove Tichina Bahe, 25, from her vehicle. Bahe refused to follow GPD Officer Dominic Molina’s request to get out of the car, so he tried to pull her out. She held onto the seat, and when Molina attempted to pull her by the left wrist she lunged at him with a closed fist and hit him in the chest.

Another officer arrived and threatened to taser Bahe, but she still refused and kicked toward the officer. Rodriguez “drive stunned” her, and she got out of the car and fell to the ground. She even kicked a CSA officer in the mouth, causing him to bleed. Once Molina got her in his patrol unit, she began kicking the windows and cursed and spat everywhere. She was charged with battery upon a peace officer and resisting, evading, or obstructing an officer.

JEALOUSY-FUELED FUED?

1/29, GAMERCO

It’s probably not the best defense for beating the tarnation out of someone – “I beat the f--k out of that b--ch, I should get a reward.” According to McKinley County Sheriff Office Deputy Arnold Noriega’s report, that’s what Davina Segar said in regards to her fight with the victim. The victim’s significant other said the fight began because Segar thought he was “hooking up” with his cousin.

Segar said the fight occurred because she was trying to prevent the victim from driving off intoxicated with her children in tow. The victim’s condition is unknown, but deputies responded to a scene in which the victim had swollen eyes and bloodied face. There was also hair, a pool of blood and blood smeared on the door. Segar, 31, was booked for Aggravated Battery (Great bodily harm).

JAIL ASSAULT

1/28, MCKINLEY COUNTY ADC

Video doesn’t lie. Sgt. Corraine Johnson had discovered during her shift two inmates had gotten into a fight.

It took staff nearly three hours to realize that a fight had occurred in H Pod, Cell #3. Palacios refused to file charged agains Niiha for aggravated battery.
