It's the parade patrolI
Thousands of people attend the New Mexico State Fair each night.
This year, between 40 and 75 of them each night are state police officers and they, too, come from all over the state, according to Lt. Darren Soland of Gallup.
Also cruising the midway and parking lots are agents from the Albuquerque Police Department's Gang Unit, the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department's Gang Task Force, sex offender trackers, probation and parole agents, the New Mexico Mounted Patrol and the New Mexico State Police bicycle and motorcycle teams.
IBaby OK; adult guardians notI
Albuquerque police, responding to two calls that a woman had been thrown from a truck and that a baby boy was "suffocating," found the baby, unharmed, in the truck near the University of New Mexico Hospital, according to a Metro Court criminal complaint.
The infant had chunks of someone's hair between its body and the car seat he was in and hair stuck to his clothing.
Police learned the boy's mother, Vanessa Duncan, 36, and sister Tanita Duncan, 35, had gotten into a fight over the baby, literally, as Vanessa Duncan's boyfriend drove them to UNM Hospital so they could have the baby checked out. Tanita Duncan was either thrown from or jumped out of the truck, according to the complaint.
The sisters, who police say were intoxicated, said the baby was "suffocating" but he was fine when police found him, according to the complaint.
The situation resulted in the Duncan sisters' arrest on charges of child abuse without great bodily harm.
