WOW! if he only knew he was making 500 thou every 2 weeks! ha

I think due process would have been much cheaper than paying out $15 million.

22 months of pain and misery for 15mil...Good for him! Another reason i wont go to NM.

This does need to be remedied, though. Somebody has to be held accountable, what is this, Old Mexico?

I lived in New Mexico. And yes, Dona Ana County is MEXICO!

$22 million is not enough. Jail time is warranted for those cops and/or officials.

agreed.

 

[HialeahChico305]

Wonder how many similar stories are out there. This guy can't be the only one.

Ditto

Now the county will finally prosecute him for the drunken driving charges and fine him $16 million...

 

[Curt James]

^^^^ lol Messed up. But would save taxpayer money, right?

Drinking and driving is a bad thing, being paid 1.5 mill a month by the state of NM for DD, priceless!

might want to check your math...its $645,833 a month..still not bad..
