CLOVIS — With the advent of children gleefully trying out bicycles, scooters, skateboards, roller blades and similar items that may have been received as gifts comes a message imploring motorists and parents to be cautious. “Young people on low-riding toys or quick-moving bicycles can be missed if drivers are not watchful,” AAA Texas/New Mexico Representative Doug Shupe said. “We remind drivers to be on the lookout for excited children on new riding toys and encourage parents to go over traffic safety tips before letting...
The latter half of the year proved to be eventful for the Roosevelt County Sheriff's Office with Sheriff Malin Parker in the spotlight of scrutiny with multiple lawsuits, threatened litigation and a call for Parker to be removed from office. In October, it was revealed that New Mexico State Police was conducting an investigation on Parker for perjury after defense attorneys with the Law Office of the Public Defender accused Parker of making a false statement on several arrest...
