Press Release: Disturbing Incidents Spotlight New Mexico Law Enforcement Issues
In recent weeks, New Mexico’s law enforcement landscape has drawn considerable attention—though not for the right reasons. Following alarming crime rates in Albuquerque, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham deployed the National Guard to support local police, signaling an escalated public safety crisis. A high-profile DEA operation seized significant quantities of fentanyl and firearms, further highlighting the seriousness of crime in the region.
Amid these concerning developments, a bizarre incident involving the Grant County Sheriff’s Department has emerged. Four deputies were involved in a disturbing confrontation centered around a baby rabbit during an evening patrol in Hachita. Initially stopped by the rabbit in the road, one deputy ended up fatally injuring the animal after threatening another officer with a Taser to hand it over. This incident was compounded by prior troubling behaviors, including wielding his service weapon during a previous altercation with his colleagues.
As the community grapples with these unsettling events, many are left questioning the competence and oversight of local law enforcement agencies. The Grant County Sheriff has stated that administrative measures are being taken, while charges against the involved deputy have been filed. With public trust at stake, this narrative raises profound concerns about policing in New Mexico.
