Only a few short weeks after the break-in and destruction at the Big Brothers Big Sisters Mountain Region office in Gallup, the non-profit’s Executive Director Sarah Piano had her car broken into.
Piano said she was in her office on Aug. 13 when her car was vandalized.
Piano said a man showed up at her office window three times that day. She told him to leave and he told her the windows in her car were broken.
She was unable to call 911 at the time, because the phones were down.
In a conversation with the Sun, Piano said she believed the person at her window was responsible for the damage, and possibly the damage inside the office over the weekend of July 24, as well.
She knew the man’s name and a check of New Mexico court cases found his name on a list of charges, for which Piano said, he had not been incarcerated.
Eleventh Judicial District Attorney Bernadine Martin told the Sun she would pull up the person’s files by case number and hopes to complete that by Aug. 20. She added that if the rules allow, she “can and will re-file dismissals.”
