Maybe they were just a couple of Meth head punks, copy cat wanna be's? I asked a Deputy friend of mine
what's going on with them now? He said the whole thing is only being treated as a case of possession
of illegal narcotics and trespassing. There wasn't enough evidence to get them on a charge of intent to distribute. There were no weapons found on them or in the car, only the drugs.
The car, was reported stolen by a family member who declined to press charges. I still feel like we are
going to see more of this, and it may escalate into acts that are far more serious. (quote)
There was a young guy shot and killed, Friday I believe, only a mile south of me. He was a druggie and wearing an ankle monitor at the time I was told. Murder is very rare around my part of Lea County and I was surprised when I found out where it happened. Almost all the mean stuff including shootings goes on down around and in Hobbs and isn't all that rare.
