A Thoreau man is facing multiple charges after he damaged a woman’s property and physically threatened her.
On July 5, around 5:45 pm, Gallup Police Officer Paul Davis Jr. was dispatched to the 100 block of Windsong Avenue in Thoreau after a man named Bryan Halwood damaged a house’s window and front door.
When Davis arrived at the scene, he noticed a broken window and a damaged front door. According to his report, he found a small metal object that he believed had been thrown through the window. There was also a scooter outside of the house, and a concrete block. Davis noted that the block was used against the door and allegedly led to the damage there.
The woman who owned the house told Davis she’d opened the front door to confront the man who was damaging her property, and Halwood, 27, threw a red scooter at her. The scooter almost hit her.
It was estimated that it would cost less than $500 to fix the window and the door. The woman said that the suspect left the scene in a gray SUV. Davis found Halwood soon after he left the woman’s house at a nearby Speedway gas station.
According to Davis’ report, Halwood was intoxicated when he found him.
Halwood was charged with aggravated assault (use of a deadly weapon) and criminal damage to property. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for July 17 at the Gallup Magistrate Court.
