Police Activity

Three stolen vehicles were recovered, one stripped down, one in Cibola County and one abandoned along side State Highway 602. All three were returned to their owners.

A disagreement with his girlfriend cost a man a night in Gallup Detox and the loss of his 1988 Chevrolet pickup when the girlfriend, made off with the truck when the man was taken to Gallup Detox.He had told three friends to take the pickup but when he got out of detox, but they all said his girlfriend had beat them to it. The fresh out of detox man was able to talk with his girl by phone, but she never showed up with the truck, so it was finally listed as the Unlawful Taking of a Motor Vehicle. The case is still unresolved.

Roving vandals, possibly the same two, attacked two vehicles causing slight damage to both. Two unknown males walking in the opposite direction threw some type of bag at a vehicle, causing damage to the frame of the door on the driver’s side.

Five minutes later another vehicle was attacked near Gallup Propane and struck by a backpack, causing a dent in the rear left door. The driver caught up with the suspects and got out of her vehicle to talk with them. That’s when they started throwing rocks at her. Luckily they missed her before they ran away from the roadway.

A man called Metro Dispatch Oct. 12, to make a complaint of a person with approximately eight unleashed dogs. The dogs reportedly  attacked his single dog at the bow range, and the owner of the eight did not do anything to stop his dogs from attacking. A white Mercedes van is believed to belong to the man with the eight dogs. The man was reportedly ID’d, but he was no longer in the area.

Vehicles hit a horse and a deer in separate incidents last week and other miscellaneous reports were filed on other actions.

Just enough to keep officers from the city and county busy.
