Meanwhile in Sandoval County...

WHERE THERE IS SMOKE, THERE IS FIRE!


Periodically your loveable Eye receives rather interesting information that reminds us that the corruption that runs rampant in Albuquerque is not some special to Albuquerque. Take for instance, our friendly sheriff of Sandoval County, Mr. Doug Wood.  Below is a letter we received a few days ago. Thanks to some help we've verified the info. So as folks in Sandoval head to the polls, they might want to think again when it comes to voting for the incumbent sherrif...

Incumbent Sheriff Doug Wood, arrested....


The Eye on Albuquerque has been responsible for exposing corruption and malfeasance
extensively in the city of Albuquerque over the years. We have dealt mainly with issues in "Our
House." Some people see this site as a way to get the truth out about the unfairness,
discrimination, vindictiveness, retaliation, lies, harassment, nature at play, civil rights violations,
and outright criminal acts involving corruption. Some see it as a way to vent their anger in rowdy
lewd tirades that cut directly to the bone. And those who perpetrate the above acts thinking no
one is watching realize that they are wrong. These are the people that detest and despise this
forum. They hate it for what it does. Right, wrong or indifferent, you have to agree that attention
needs to be paid to things, or what you get is what we have here, a city out of control. Because
of the word getting out of the exposure we here at the Eye can provide to those seeking to put
out information, we have been receiving correspondence from people all over the state. Below
is one that we think relates to things close to the city and may show that the dirt runs deep.

Eye on Albuquerque,


I would like to commend you on your efforts to expose corruption and fight for what is right in

your city. It is obvious that it is making an impact due to the many followups on articles in the

media that stem from some of your blog entries and obvious inside contacts.


I know you have your own battles going on, but I ask of you to please print this if you see fit.

Back in August of this year, the 21st to be exact, the Sheriff of Sandoval county had an

altercation with the family members of a Deputy from the Sandoval county sheriff's office who is

running for sheriff in the election against him. The incident happened inside the Range Cafe in

Bernalillo. An elderly gentleman and woman voiced their displeasure to the Sandoval County

sheriff Doug Wood over his petty antics involving the up coming election. The woman was the

mother of the Democratic candidate Jesse Casaus. The elderly gentleman was her brother. The

argument was verbal, until this Sheriff showed his true colors and grabbed the man by the back

of the neck. This was totally uncalled for.



I have family and friends all over the county. I also have friends in Albuquerque and I follow

current events on the situation there too. Many of them have city jobs and hear things.

I am concerned. I am very concerned that if this Sheriff is not kept in check, we will have here

exactly what you have going on there; officials who think they can do whatever they want to

whoever they want by breaking the law any time they wish.



Over the last six months I have seen Doug Wood parking his Hummer in the County lot with his

posters and election signs all over it. I have seen him, his under sheriff, and a heavy set captain

with glasses campaigning while on duty and wearing uniforms. Sheriff wood goes around

digging post holes and putting huge signs on people's private property without their consent or

permission. Many of these residents are elderly and feel intimidated. They do not want the signs

there, but they are afraid if retaliation if they say something about it.



After hearing about this, I dug a little deeper and found out that Wood was arrested for felony

vin fraud and several other charges. This man was also accused of domestic violence and had

a restraining order put out on him. I do not understand how this person was elected to sheriff

with all of this in his past. I have friends who work in the labs and just one of these issues would

disqualify them from having a security clearance. If you listen to Wood everyone else is the

problem but him. This is disturbing to say the least. What I found more disturbing was the fact

that Albuquerque's chief administrative officer Robert Perry was Doug Wood's lawyer. This was apparently when he was a private attorney. If this is the same person I see on the news all of the time

bullying people, there is no doubt in my mind that we have a huge problem here in New Mexico,

and the corruption runs deep. If in any way this information can prevent the type of situation

going on in Albuquerque, please put it out there. Also, please take a look at the information I

sent with this e-mail.



Sincerely,

(Name withheld due to fear of retaliation)

The Eye would like to commend the above citizen for their concern and for doing the right thing.
This is not the first time we are hearing about this. A few weeks ago one of our eyes reported to
us that Sheriff Wood likes to threaten the smaller police departments within his jurisdiction with
the revocation of their Sandoval County commission cards for not doing his bidding. We here at
the Eye wonder if this is the reason that Bernalillo PD has not charged Wood with the above
mentioned incident. Just last week one of our LE eyes reported to us that the huge pot grow
bust up in the Jemez mountains that Doug Wood is taking credit for had nothing to do with him.
As a matter of fact we were told his office blew off several complaints on the issue. It was the
DEA who had to step in, and take the initiative to locate and process the grow. And finally, we
are hearing that Wood has destroyed morale so much so that several Deputies are
contemplating leaving the agency if Wood wins the election. So yea, where there is a lot of
smoke one has to say there is fire somewhere. There sure looks to be a lot if smoke up there in
Sandoval county. There seems to be a like minded narcissism and bully mentality within the
upper ranks of law enforcement. One thing is for sure It is spreading like wild fire and it’s out of control This sounds all too familiar folks.

So where were the "good" cops when Wood put his hands on that gentlemen inside The Range Cafe? Doesn't that constitute battery? Good cops are mythical creatures, like unicorns.

Anyone can be sheriff these days, just look at crazy Houston, at least the County voters were tired of his racist/ bully tactics and voted this POS out of office! The guy is a monster who will lie and cheat to get what he wants. His department has never hated anyone more, he and Gallegher are about equal and both will go down as BCSO's two worst sheriffs!

Lol, boy does this smell one sided. Obviously there was nothing to the allegations against Wood or he would have been convicted and couldn't be a cop. If you think Casaus is any better, you better look into his crap too. Casaus is a younger John Paul Trujillo... only dumber.. Stick with Wood...

I guess that is why some refer to him as Thug Wood. Wood is luck juvenile records are sealed. I hear there are serious charges related to him as a juvenile. Maybe the Eye can look into it.

To bad the Rio Rancho Observer paper did not check him out before giving him an endorsement. Guess their reporter missed class on the day investigative reporting was taught.
This is also the guy the prior Chief (Boone) of Rio Rancho and his Lt. (Conners) wrote a letter endorsing.
Wood appears to be nothing but smoke and mirror.

Looks like Wood doesn't discriminate. He picks on woman and the elderly?

This information shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. Wood is career LEO. Career LEO people seem to share traits that would make their mamas proud: obsessive preoccupation with undeserved and unearned power that they haven't felt since they used to bully the smaller kids out of their milk money, a total lack of respect of those who are not part of their badge/uniform/gun/knuckle dragging close-knit community - these cave-men will always be attracted to law enforcement because it offers them opportunity to live their fantasies without the risk of having to face someone who is tired of their shit, not afraid of them and laughing while kicking their delusionary ass into next month.

Why he still collects a paycheck when all he does is go watch his girlfriend/wife work at anytime fitness, so if anyone need to get of hold of him that where he will be at and on top of everything, he is getting paid to be a security for anytime fitness when he should be serving the community!!!!!

Wood hasn't done crap for his department. He is a bully and thug. He promised the world when he was running but once he got in nothing. I hope Casaus keeps his word and his morals once he gets elected. Morale is very low. We need a leader with values and character. Wood is my boss but I have NO respect for the guy.

How about the sheriff's girlfriend? The eye should look into nmcourts.com and check into her felony charges. Not sure the Sandoval County residents would like who their sheriff is currently residing with. Bet Sandoval County residents would be baffled. I'm sure there's an excuse for that one too.... Very I-N-T-E-R-E-S-T-I-N-G info I must say...

Jesse James Casaus has no record, period, adult or juvenile dig as deep as you want he has never been in trouble with the law at all, ever his whole life, I've known him for 38 years.

Doug Wood is an invisible Sheriff. Rarely does the staff see him at the office. He is only required to be on duty 8 hours a month. And he takes complete advantage of that. Throughout the four years in office, nothing was done for his Deputies. During his first election, he promised to bring the department up to par with the same pay parity as other surrounding agencies. Promising to bring up the Deputies pay rate by 20%. As of this date, he has not done anything to convince the county commissioners that the Deputies need better pay. Because of his lack of concern for Deputies in the department, we've lost several to other departments. We are surrounded by agencies that receive substantial salaries than this department does. Our salary is one of the lowest in the state. We've lost two Deputies in the line of duty in the last five years, putting our lives on the line for minimal pay. What this department receives in pay is not worth the risk, which is one of the main reasons we're losing Deputies to other agencies. We need a Sheriff who cares for his Deputies and who understands what he needs to do to keep staff and one who builds moral. I work with Jesse Casaus who understands what this department needs. He is a person of good integrity with good morals and values. Our current Sheriff is an invisible Sheriff and is a complete bully to staff at the Sheriff's Office. I'm ashamed to call him our Sheriff. He portrays himself as caring and understanding the needs of the residents of Sandocal County. Don't let him fool you. The residents don't have to work under him, therefore, you don't know his true colors. We walk on pins and needles and try to avoid him as much as possible. The latest example of who he is. Doug Wood attended the funeral service for Officer Hasse today and was only there to make an appearance. When we went into the Star Center, he took a seat and left approximately five minutes into the service. That goes to show you, that he wasn't there to show respect for the loss of an Officer. He was there to make a presence and left at the beginning of the service. I noticed other Chiefs and Superior Officers from other departments stay through the whole service. Including the burial. Doug Wood, where were you? Is losing an Officer in the line of duty meaningless to you? You failed to show compassion to the Rio Rancho Police Officers who lost a fellow Officer. And failed to show compassion to Officer Haase's family. By leaving and walking out as the service started, shows that it's all about you. And no one else matters. Not even in the time of need. SHAME ON YOU!!!! DOUG WOOD. My family and friends are voting for Jesse James Casaus for Sheriff. We need a positive change for Sandoval County and for the staff of the Sheriff's Office.

As the previous poster says, it seems like anyone can be a "sheriff" but not everyone can be an excellent, moral, natural leader, role model of what being a LEO is actually all about.Most folks think that sounds like bull crap when in fact it is true. Sheriff Heath White of Torrance County is that person. Good natured, positive, kind and dedicated to wearing the Badge with honor . Please don't lump all Sheriffs into the same cretinous gene pool as Wood, Houston or Rodella. Sheriff White is a breed apart and Torrance County residents are glad to have him.

Not sure where to put this but I have to get something off my chest. I go to the funeral of one of my brothers whose son in law passed away on duty. I've been retired a couple years and I'm working with a different department now. We're waiting for them to bring the officers body in and I look up and hear a commotion with the APD cadets Who are making a lot of noise as they stood up. I look over like everyone else in the arena wondering what the commotion was all about and see your new chief making a photo op because of all the cadets sitting together. I have never been so embarrassed for my former department to see something like that. Really chief? Did you really use a young officers funeral for a chance to start take some photographs? Shame on you!!!!

I know both of these guys. They both have their baggage. Whoever the people posting that Jesse Casaus is the messiah has been spending too much time drinking the bong water. Wise up and do your own research, find out about casauses drunk driving hit and run in his cop car or the true reason he "left" state patrol. If you ask me I am glad I don't live in that county. My sheriff, Louie Burkhardt is a pretty good guy and doesn't fit into the BS people say about all sheriffs.

I have not been a deputy as long as some, but Heath White is a good man, I know him and have work along side his brother who is equally good.

I have also had the pleasure to work for Sheriff Daren White. Although he had some issues with the city, he served the SO well and treated us with respect and was generally well liked, Houston does not treat us well and our morale with him is miserable! He only cares about himself and a few of his friends. The sad part is he has driven out some very good people that were doing good things for our department and replaced them with command staff that are just like him, thank god Matt and Jason retired, we were excited to see those two go! What a waste of two command staff positions. Those two guys were as worthless as they come, arrogant too! It was always about them and what was in it for them.

However, Chief Deputy Greg Reese is a man that stands tall in our book and always looks after our interest, and that of the sheriff's department, not kissing the sheriff's rear end and compromising his values and integrity like some others have. We do have a few others that stand tall, but most are terrified of Sheriff Houston, he's an evil man that will come after you and make your life a living hell if he finds out you don't like the way he runs things. I for one hope to catch him speeding some day.

I also understand that Houston and Wood are friends, sounds like a match made in hell.

I also here both Gonzalez and Baird are going to launch an investigation into Houston's recklessly and illegally spending of County money. The sheriff and his cronies always had brand new cars and the latest remote starts and after market equipment on their vehicles. They even took 4 brand new Tahoe's that were purchased and equipped for our SWAT offices, talk about greedy and selfserving! Those guys made sure they and their friends had a new car every 6 months. So talk about corrupt, our agency needs a big overhaul.

I have heard stories of how bad Sheriff Gallegher was, but Houston does not sound far off that mark, maybe even worse! We are so very glad to see him go and hope he, Matt and Jason never show their faces around here again

What the hell are cadets doing at a funeral? I have no issue with paying command staff to go because they should (should but apparently didn't) know how to behave.

30 cadets × 4 hours × $20 with benefits = $2400 plus the cost to transport them so that our "leader" can show them how to be part of a spectacle versus how to conduct yourself at the most sacred thing we have

Doug Wood is vendictive and a worthless sheriff who only has verbal support from those he put into positions to cover his MIA butt. He was upset and so was Wiese when the association did not endorse them. Had they done an endorsement and did not fear retaliation they would have endorsed Jessie James Casaus for Sheriff. Doug you and Wiese failed your own deputies. You did not take a stand and fight for higher wages nor did you stand against Dina Holcomb and her anti-employee, anti-employee antics at the bargaining table. Shame on you, now go away!

Sheriff Doug Wood (AKA Thug Wood) the part-time Sheriff has little support this time around. He's doesn’t have the support of the people and that is why he has stooped to the level of having political figures write in letters for him to the local Rio Rancho newspaper. Wood thinks that letters and having the biggest signs will help him get elected. Wood campaign has other tricks they use like putting signs in the yards of vacant foreclosure homes and placing his signs inches in front of other opponent’s signs. Just last week at the Sandoval County Courthouse, Wood’s campaign placed his big sign infront of several other people’s signs. The other individuals had to move their signs. No consideration for other people. This is a Sheriff? He has his buddy in a dark colored Ford Expedition driving around making sure Woods signs are infront of his opponent’s signs. There is actually video of this.
There is a reason so many of the Deputies and people have Casaus signs in their yards. There is a reason why the Sheriffs Union did not endorse Wood this time. There is a reason why the Rio Rancho Police Union did not endorse Wood this time. He knows how to play people and he's played them right in to the hands of his opponent.

Jesse James Casaus has moral character and can bring unity to the Sheriff’s Office and the community. I know he will be a full time working Sheriff. He won’t just come around at election time.
I am voting for Casaus.

I have worked along side my fellow Deputy, Jesse Casaus for about 5 years now. Let's just say he is the one I want on a call with me as my back up. He is also the one who rocks the boat and speaks his mind to the bully Administration. Never once has the Sheriff been out to a call unless it involves possible media attention that he can take credit for. What the hell kind of Sheriff is that? I still get residents in Sandoval County asking me how our Sheriff JP is doing. I have to shake my head, laugh & then advise that he has not been our Sheriff for sometime now. Then they ask "well then who is the Sheriff?" This goes to show you that wood spends to much time on play dates entertaining his girlfriend so she won't leave him rather than being the Sheriff that he should be. Respect is a two way street & must be earned. Let's just say the Sheriff does not know the meaning of respect. He is only respectful to those who can give him a political donation, thus misleading the public on his true colors. I have plenty respect for Officer Casaus and will be encouraging all my family and friends to VOTE CASAUS!

The only negative attacks I see are the ones on Woods facebook directly from him that bash Casaus. Not a single comment from Casaus about Wood on his facebook. Also, the the auto recorded political phone call I received yesterday that was sent out to all Sandoval County residents from clown wood crying that the ALB Journal did not endorse him. Message sounded like a pathetic little cry baby. Also, he just promoted Casaus and further advised neutral residents that Casaus got the Alb Journal endorsement. Who the hell is managing the wood campaign? lol...

Sandoval County resident and voter said...

I really am glad that this information is coming out. It seems Wood wants to blame everyone else for his issues and not owing your messes gets old. There are a lot of people who go through their entire lives without as much as a ticket, and then you have some that can't avoid scrapes with the legal system even when they are law enforcement officers themselves. This wood character has had multiple run ins with the law while wearing a uniform. Arrests, protection orders, complaints and now a current open criminal investigation for a crime of violence. It seems we have here a heavy handed bully, and manipulator. And as if that is not bad enough, he consirts with one too. You can't make this stuff up. People need to stand up and quit giving rotten thugs like this free passes. I really hope this guy is washing cars next month. There is no reason for him to be wearing that uniform any longer.

I also work for the Sandoval County Sheriff's Office.If the current administration returns, they will drive the department into the ground and there will not be anyone left in the county to protect and serve the county. It is already hard enough to do your job effectively due to lack of man power. Deputies at the moment can only be reactive as apposed to being proactive. Jesse Casaus needs to be given the opportunity to take this department in a positive direction. He is a man of great character and morals.
He has always looked out for the Deputies in the field. With Jesse and his running mate...this department has the chance to fly and be a place other LEO's would be proud to wear a Sandoval County Sheriff's Badge.

The above poster is right. Woods attacks on Casaus are out of control. Wood is nothing but an overgrown crybaby who is heavy handed with those who he thinks he can get away with it with.

As a Sandoval County resident Jesse Casaus has already got my vote. I have personal experience in dealing with both candidates, but Jesse James Casaus is the only one the exhibits the qualities of a true leader. Jesse Casaus not only cares about his fellow deputies, he also possesses a genuine compassion for the citizens of Sandoval County, and is not afraid to accept responsibility for his actions. Doug Wood is selfish and only cares about Doug Wood. When deputies were in need of new patrol units to safeguard the citizens of Sandoval County it was Doug Wood who purchased the first new unit for himself. Doug Wood looks after Doug Wood and doesn’t care about anyone else. True leaders do not forget where they came from, regardless of rank. Jesse Casaus will bring this quality to the Sandoval County Sheriff’s Office. Jesse Casaus will create excitement and genuine pride in accomplishing an objective and give credit to the hardworking deputies that help make it happen. During two major marijuana busts in Sandoval County it was Doug Wood who took credit for it and not the deputies that spent countless man hours to make it happen. Why? Doug Wood only cares about Doug Wood!!! A true leader becomes less concerned with rank and privilege. Self-centered motivations give way to a more profound concern for others, the mission and the results. Jesse Casaus exhibits these qualities and will move the Sandoval County Sheriff’s Office in a positive direction. Doug Wood is vindictive and a bully and has shown an unwillingness to listen to his fellow deputy’s needs. Reelecting Doug Wood will not only risk the lives of the citizens of Sandoval County, but the deputy’s that risk their lives every day to make Sandoval County safe. Let’s move in the right direction and do the right thing for Sandoval County and ELECT JESSE JAMES CASAUS AS THE NEW SHERIFF OF SANDOVAL COUNTY.

Wood has continued to attack Casaus and has bullied Casaus at work as a result of his decision to run for Sheriff. The deputies, admin staff and Sgt(s) have all been present while this behavior occurs. I have heard Wood yelling his head off at Casaus in Wood's office telling him that he (Wood) is loved by the people and that Casaus stands no chance. The Undersheriff also has knowledge of this and yet continues to look the other way due to his selfish reasons for keeping his job as Undersheriff. You go Casaus! Behind you all the way, your fellow deputy.

You want to talk bullying? Pete Kassetas & doesn't deserve to be called chief after all he prides himself as the Honey badger, bullying his employees with a vengeance! He & Diana Dejarnette are the biggest bullies at DPS! The DOJ should go do an investigation as to how many employees have been forced out of DPS. That is the worst state agency to work for, I say Larry Barker go in & do an investigation with all the former employees, they'd be surprised!!!!!!! DPS is not safety its hostile and the worst retaliation place to work! Pete Kassetas needs to be ousted! Same with Dianna, pretty pathetic that people are on FMLA because of the mental distress they put on them!

Also see KRQE website for the story exposing the incident at the Range Café where Wood ADMITTED to a battery on the elderly man & ACKNOWLEDGED the comment he made to the mother about her sending her son into the woods with a "pocket knife".

Honestly, Doug woods is a p.o.s for years Ive watched good officers leave over Doug woods mistakes in office. Not too mention the amount of money spent on ugly green pants. Doug woods is like a child putting up signs in front of other candidates really? I want a adult in office not a 2 year old who thinks this shit is funny. When I look at Doug woods I dont see a man i see a angry 4 year old who can't tell the difference between being a Sherriff and nap time. Honesty if he's elected again Im moving too a different state. Not because he's in office. No. Because if rather see drunk people fight then having too deal with a moron again.

What people fail to see is that Doug Wood is only out to serve himself. Preaches public service but at the end of the day he is no where to be found as long as he gets his pay check. He might talk a good game, but that is because he is a politician. And well we all know that politicians are full of...you know what. At least Casaus is actually a law enforcement officer and would still remain as such even after being elected Sheriff. At least Casaus is a cop who has actually taken a report recently. Wood wouldn't even know how to write one since he is never even at the Sheriff's Office. The only way Wood's will even talk to you is if you can promise him a large amount of votes for the election. Wood's deputies can't stand him and don't believe in his capabilities at all...says a lot since they have put up with his antics for 4 years. People used to believe that Wood was here to serve...key words being "used to."

Wood, Weise, Traxler,
From what I hear. You left out Munk, Hunt, Chavez, Elders and Mills all part of Wood's click. And we wonder why there is a big turnover. The deputies cant talk to any of these supervisors concerning problems at the Sheriff's Office with our being singled out for speaking out. Only the chosen few get issued the new equipment or new vehicles and get to go to training. Only the chosen few get to work the contract overtime for the US Forest (Sandia & Jemez Mountains) or at Cochiti Lake. The feds should do an investigation on the way these federal dollars are being used. There are questions there that need to be answered.
This is not the 1950's! Time for the SO to get up to speed and treat people like people

I am Voting For Casaus and not just because it's my choice but because I feel for the deputies who have to work under such conditions and management of Wood.

I have talked face to face with Sheriff Wood, in a domestic violence incident with my ex wife. He assumed that since I was a male and she was a female that she posed no threat to me. He even was so boastly proud to say that ex-wives threaten their ex's all the time and it is just blowing steam and his ex-wife accused him of trying to intimidate her and was baseless as he was proud to tell me that he hired a team of lawyers to go after her. Needless to say, I obtained an order of protection for two years in a row against my ex-wife. The man is clueless and is a bully. A threat of bodily harm is a serious allegation and not just an ex-wife blowing steam! I have personally heard him yelling at his deputies in the Sheriffs office and wondered why his deputies put up with that shit! Look people, You are adults, and do not need that type of abuse in the work place from the boss whom is supposed to take care of you all. Grasp your deep inner self and record his bullying and put a stop to it. I am a civilian and do not work there yet you all know dog gone well that my version of events is not meritless. Do not be conditioned to go with the sheepole (sheep people) and go with the flow of the crowd. Stand up for yourselves. It is quite the normal in this modern society for the women to be more "manly" then the men and there is something definitely wrong with that picture when a man cant stand up for himself. Women can be very good leaders, but feel intimidated on speaking up for themselves in fear of retaliation. Change that pattern! Be tactful about it, professional about it, and always remember....It's the squeaky wheel that gets the oil, and the pen is definitely mightier then the sword much of the time.

The captain(disgraced Bernalillo cop), haha that fat bloated reject who was friends with JP then pretended he liked Wood to get promoted beyond his capabilities. The Lt? haha a sergeant for 30 minutes before his promotion! Its a good thing we are only a department of 50 or we could be in serious trouble.

Any person that has any convictions should not be allowed to run for Sheriff period. Law breakers become law enforcers, what is wrong with this State? Other states have laws and requirements for Sheriff's, its time NM get with the program. The only exception should be juvenile records, but any conviction as an adult should disqualify convicts, and yes, if you have a conviction, you are a convict so let's not sugar quote it with excuses.

I'm with you! i live in a subdivision off South 14 where a family operation had been cooking meth. Fast forward to last year when I moved up here. I saw for myself the entire house and 3 or so outbuildings that had been torn down to the ground and the entire property surrounded by caution hazardous contamination do not enter. I figured it was a meth lab so I askedBCSO what happened there and why the address did not appear on the website for meth houses. To this day no one from BCSO ever contacted me or answered my question if there was any residual meth chemicals contaminating the ground soil of neighboring properties. So my question goes unanswered. Thanks for all your help (not) BCSO. And why do you never patrol up here?? I've yet to see one patrol car. I have a neighbor who periodically fires his shotgun randomly.

As you head to the poles remember that Doug Wood does not care about his deputies much less the citizens of Sandoval County. Since Wood has taken office the turn over rate has become unreal, more than 70% of the department has less than four years with the department. As far as the people of the county, Wood can care less. If you remember not to long ago Obama made threats to sign an executive order in refrence to gun control. There was a meeting called in Santa Fe for every county Sheriff. Well there were only two that did not show up!! Can you guess who one of them was? Not only does Wood not care enough to show up but he did not even send a reprisenitive from his administration. Doug Wood is not fit to hold his office, because he can not even uphold his own oath of office.

Think back not to long ago when Obama threatened to sign an executive order on gun control. A meeting was called in Santa Fe for all County Sheriff's to attend and discuss the issue. Only two Sheriffs did not show up, and Wood was one of them. Not only did he give every citizen of Sandoval County the bird, but he did not even send a represenitive from his administration.

Attn: The Anti-Eye (Wood & Gal pal), Your comparison of your past unethical background to bread crumbs just proves you need to be out of office. Your unethical past can be compared to a thug of 9 lives. Also, you preach that you have increased DWI arrests? Was you gal included in those stats? Hopefully so. Wasn't her last one just last year to be exact? Not old news to several of the readers here since the Sheriff has worked darn hard to withhold that information from the public. Too bad you advertised her business to over half the dept. Bet your gal didn't know that one. Did you get jealous because she flirted with a much "younger" stud at the gym causing her to go back to her bar hopping activity? Is that why you continue to babysit her at the gym? What a pathetic excuse for a Sheriff. From what I can tell, your unethical behavior is only part of why the Deputies don't respect you. Seems the Deputies prefer one who will treat them with dignity and respect and will give a care about their public safety concerns. Oh, I forgot, you are never around. The Deputies have no respect for you & you have failed us all. Please go back to playing house and let a real leader take over. Oh, and try to keep a leash on her at the bars! Go Jesse James!

Shift is almost over but get this BS.

Our Sheriff Houston is such a dirt bag, he covers up everything dirty and illegal his buddies do. Houston's golfing buddy Sgt McCoy who has a special job in Los Ranchos that was personally given to him by the sheriff was chased by our deputies the other night at over 100 mph. Sgt McCoy was driving the special unmarked Black Charger that Houston also gave him. Needless to say McCoy out ran our deputies in that high performance car! The deputies found McCoy at home later that night, but he said he did not know he was being chased and was on a call, but he was off duty. Our command was pissed and took this information to Sheriff Houston who promptly sweep the entire chase under the carpet. Remember. Sgt McCoy is Sheriff Houston's drinking/golfing buddy and about the only friend he has left. This guy could have killed someone, but Houston protects him and gives him that special job and car in LOs Ranchos because McCoy is Undersheriff Matt Gonzalez and Chief Katz's best friend. They will all protect this guy. McCoy was even caught speeding in Sandia Pueblo and they tried to cover that up as well.

Someone needs to call the news so they can pick up the Cad reports on the chase before Houston destroys the evidence.

Hmmmmm, Dough Boy Dougy the clown!!! Looks like your past has caught up with you. Let's see, for the past four years where have you been???? That is the mythical question???? I worked around you when you were out Shagging calls showing up late, back when you were a Deputy. I wore the Black and Gray, and you have never really progressed. The Traxler???? Another Dough Boy, Traxy as we would call him couldn't investigate his way out of a jelly doughnut hole if he tried. How many cases did we have to go in and clean up for Traxy?? But you sure could slobber down them jelly doughnuts, hell look at your gut it all paid off. Now Mr. Traxy, ooopppps I'm sorry Cpt. Traxy why you going around bashing Deputy Casaus while on duty in uniform, at the local businesses? The question is why, Traxy you made the comment "Jessie HA, That's like putting a private in a Four star Generals position, he has no experience". No experience compared to WHO???? Doug boy wife beating, vin changing, Felon Doug, or you the NON-INVESTIGATING INVESTIGATOR TRAXY???? Have you ever heard of battle field promotions??? That's when a soldier in combat is called upon by not only his peers but the higher ups to step up and take charge of a cluster fuck. Something Dough boy Dougy the domesticator or Mr. Jelly doughnut Traxy, have no idea how to accomplish. Instead you two clowns claim Jessie was fired from SP for DWI? HMMMMM looks like you guys mixed up files with LT. Bobby "the coconut" Chavez's file. It was your Lt. Chavez that was fired from SP for DWI. Jessie on the other hand was the officer that was smashed in his unit by a semi on I-40, lucky for him he walked away to live another day. continued......

ALL BAD TRAITS ACCORING TO DOUGH BOY DOUGY, AND Traxy the Jelly doughnut molester. They have searched high and low for dirt on Jessie went as far as calling numerous of us from SP.... When you go dig for gold and don't find anything you get VERY MAD, AND YOU FINALLY FIND FOOLS GOLD..... Fools what have you found????? Nothing, so lets make up lies. See, I thought we had this conversation way back in the early 2000's when you kept lying on your reports and would call us in to fix you shit. DONT LIE, AND DONT LIE TO COPS, WHO INVESTIGATE FOR A LIVING. Why because you'll be found out. As my career of over 25 years comes to an end with SP, I sit and ponder will it ever change, probably not... You deserve what you tolerate, Sandoval county citizens, I hope you do your homework on both candidates. In the END you will see a Dough Boy, Chubby gut, racist domesticator, narcissist, (Felon, thanks to pistol pete not convicted for the buddy deal), Missing in Action wanna be, legend in his own mind, incompetent leader Doug wood. Or A trooper, a ground pounder, a Godly Man, a Family Man, A police officers POLICEMAN, A man not afraid to say "I don't know, but I will find out and out get it done". Why not give the 14 year law enforcement vet a battlefield promotion to 4 star. But TRAXY in this case is not a one year wonder private in this case it's a Sergeant Major, Kicking a big gut lazy ass corrupt admin wanna be general the hell out of the way so no more troops fall victim to his and your stupidity.

I knew Dan Houston back when he was at the SO the first time, they man is an absolute idiot who thinks he's better than everyone else, yet claims to be a godly man. He's also extremely paranoid about everyone! he thinks everyone is out to get him. It was so bad no one ever wanted to work for him, he's crazy! I use to feel bad for his wife and kids, can't imagine how bad he treated them. Sure am glad as is the majority of the department to see him booted out of office. Strange, he hated Gallegher, but he's the exact same way as Ray was. I can see Dan take advantage of the taxpayer's money and protect the few friends that he has, everyone hates the man! Just an impossible guy to work for, but I guess everyone saw that when you look at all the people that have left his administration before his time was up! Don't care who wins the next sheriff's position, but just glad the citizens booted him out. I think this is the first time in the BCSO history that a sitting Repulican Sheriff was not re-elected. Way to make history Dan! I do hope the next sheriff investigates this clown's abuse of taxpayer money...

I am a previous deputy of the SCSO whom was hired by the wood administration and quickly resigned during the same administration being in office. I know first hand the hostile environment each deputy endures while working in the Sheriff's office and it's a sad thing to see. I have seen it make young, excited and hungry(to make a difference) officer's disgruntled and question the profession they chose. I have also seen it make many senior deputies check their PERA and count down the days till retirement. And it has obviously made many other deputies (including myself) quickly seek employment in other departments.
Doug Wood promised the world for the sheriff's office and didn't deliver. The only thing he did was stay out of the media unlike the Jp Trujillo administration. But like many on here have said, it's not hard to stay out of the media when you're at snap fitness all day long and abusing the 8 hour a month rule..

I was so excited when my husband told me he was joining SCSO. The decline in his morale is killing me because I am worried for his safety and the well being of our family. When you don't have a leader that stands behind his deputies, there is no way that these hard working men and women who put their lives on the line everyday feel like they can succeed,especially when they don't have the tools to do their jobs. How can you take orders from someone who washed car titles and had a restraint placed on him by his ex wife? He finally found his match with his current girlfriend and her bad check writing history. Doug Wood has no integrity or standards.
He continues to bully his deputies knowing that all of them need their jobs but the hostile environment exists and this no good excuse of a man needs to go. How can he expect the deputies to respect him? Doug Wood, you have to earn respect not demand it but a person without scruples will never see the day when SCSO deputies respect him. It is time to get a true leader in the office of sheriff for Sandoval County, join all of us in getting the department and the deputies that Sandoval deserves by electing Jesse James Casaus for sheriff.

Cronyism happens in all branches of government. It can work both ways, good and bad. It just happens that in PD's case, this thing has spiraled way out of control. Look at SO. Our last promotion to command staff was Ray Chavez. Ray Chavez? Are you kidding me? That guy did absolutely nothing other than build houses on duty for command staff. Now, with his last, decaying swipe, that zombie on the 5th floor promotes Chavez to captain over much more qualified applicants. Chavez did nothing as a lieutenant. No field time, no command time, he oversaw 2 deputies in IA. Big deal. I guess direct access to the sheriff got him where he is today. What a waste. I for one am glad that there are some competant commanders here. Rees and Mims are running a pretty tight ship and I hope that the incoming adminstration sees that they are doing the most good where they are at.

Matt Gonzales promoted Ray.... However, Matt is now backing Scott after he stabbed him in the back for Houston. Matt, Jason and McCoy have all jumped on board with Scott. Looks like Jessica is also throwing in the towel on Houston as well. Houston is going to be a lonely man very soon as all the people he thought were in his corner run to the new sheriff. In with the new and out with the very very old! I wonder if Houston will stepped down early, like he tried to make Manny step down. Houston's already been sucking up to Manny majorly. Manny thinks Houston's a incompetent.

The parties over and the two disgruntled Deputies will now have to work. You can always go to Valencia County, their is no Politics over there and they get paid way more than Sandoval.

All these loser's squawking there pie holes. Where is all the Republicans voting for Jessie at? OK Eye thanks for posting something of relevance. Very little relevance. That's the best you can do, old news about no longer at APD. How about we talk about Stover or Gil Baca. Come on.

It was very close, looks like the Woody party got to some uneducated voters, oh well, another term will end, Woody will need stronger pills to get it up, Lucy will be history, and he'll find another one at SCDC, now everyone know what a POS he really is, so no stress, KARMA is awesome, the one thing he will never have from this day forward is RESPECT. JJC, keep your head up man, its all yours the next time, the white version of JP will be forgotten.

Ok Jessie Jane Casaus, guess the public did do their research about your scumbag past with NMSP you fraud. Maybe next time you run with your scumbag daddy leading you around by your wee wee showing you where to go you will remember that the voters didn't want you and maybe you should stay behind your mommy's skirt. But hey, keep your chin up, I am sure there is a supervisor position out there with your name on it, try back at the casino in the kitchen!

Reading the Eye comments now have gotten so tacky. No facts, immature baby language,( who says "wee, wee") boasting, name calling, all the Ha Ha It really does sound like the Sheriff Bully Wood is back and got re-elected. Oh and by the way Wood sure ran scared and had to bump up his campaign because Jesse had lots of support. Bully Wood Was scared that Jesse would win as Sheriff. Approximately half the voters wanted Jesse James Casaus for Sheriff. Don't forget that Wood. You can just bullshit better that Jesse, and Bully people. It would be a sorry day if I got arrested by you. Oh, but You don't arrest people.

Oh please, the sitting sheriff won by 2500 votes out of nearly 30000 cast. Nearly half all who voted either voted for Casaus or against Wood. Wood and his girl should not be bragging, they should be trembling because either Casaus is a really strong candidate or Wood is a horrible sheriff. Not a bad showing by a front line officer with no political experience. And God forbid Wood does something stupid towards Casaus or his supporters, that will just propel Casaus to stardom.

Anonymous said...

8:57 as a silent bystander, you could say the same thing about Casaus. Casaus only won the primary because he received so many anti-John Paul votes. Had there been another decent candidate run in the democratic primary, Casaus would never have been in the general against the incumbent. Both sides threw bombs at each other and the bottom line is whether it was by one vote or one million, the incumbent won. Casaus was first loser. At this point it is in the history books. If Casaus thinks he is a real contender that the voters want, run again and the future onky knows. Now is the time for Casaus and his followers to get back to work without their destructive conduct, or go work somewhere else. I cannot see the re-elected sheriff doing anything in retaliation against Casaus or his supporters. If the sheriff does, there are remedies for that, but the ball is in the court of those that have to make the decision of whether they move on and support the goals of the sheriff in a competent and respectful way, or if they can't get on board, go work somewhere else that they are not soured. I am certain there were employees on both sides that said they would quit if the person elected or re-elected were not their choice. I suppose the ones who said that who have true credibility will move on to new jobs. Best advice I could offer to Casaus is get some experience in supervision, management, budgeting and organizational structure. It is not too late for you. Someone who desires to head an agency should have way more experience and advanced training than you have in you 13.5 years of experience. You should also go back to school and get more education, your associates degree just doesn't cut it. Four years is a long time for the voters to forget about Casaus' baggage concerning his NMSP employment troubles causing him to leave, his problems at the shetiff's office with his hit and run in his patrol car and his poor behavior as a landlord toward his tenants. Not to mention the blemish his corrupt father Rudy Casaus brings to the table that voters remember about Rudy having to agree not to run for public office again or face having his corrupt behavior become public again. Best wishes for everyone, now play ball.

Or he could go commit VIN fraud and get arrested, batter older folks in public, be subject to a restraining order, and date a low life bimbo whose idea of a glamour pic is a mug shot. That's seems to be the running qualification for the current office holder.

Silent bystander...By the sound of this it seems you are in the thick of things. We all know who wrote that blog! How horrible it must be to be a sheriff that NO ONE respects. Jesse James Casaus may not realize that he has won, he is RESPECTED by ALL! Without respect you are nothing...

After reading comments here, it seems that the winner should just post positive comments, and not badger the one who lost. What happened to turn the other cheek? What is this world coming to? I sure hope I don't by chance break the law in Sandoval County, 'cause I might be bullied to death in a holding cell, not by other clients, but by the sheriff and his croanies, like I suppose a guy named Traxler and the incumbent Wood. Please advertise or say that: Hopefully, I will be okay until proven guilty or not guilty.

Sandoval County didn't get a Sheriff for another four years. Anytime Fitness got an on site security guard for four more years. If anyone need to contact the Sheriff just drive by there and you'll find him in his unmark unit.

Make sure you deputies keep those tape recorders running. You don't have to work under threats and intimidation. The Sheriff and his staff could be the next ones on the FBI's radar. They're done with Rodella.
Make sure you document, document and document.

Watch out folks, Woody want to control you by making threats to sue you. Hes to stupid to know that any political figure would have a very hard time making it up in any court. The bar is high, plus he would have to prove harm. That would be dam hard to do since he won the election Its just another example of how he bullies people. He wants to use threats and wants you to come out so he can run a background check and maybe even frame you for a crime. He uses his badge as a tool. . Imho the man is weak and is a sad person hurting.inside. He wants to force people to like him. He has issues and shouldn't be in a position of sheriff. Public information is public information. He should be focusing his energy on doing what he said he was going to to make the County a bettee place. He should be working with his deputies. He sure as hell shouldn't be threating people inside or outside his department. He brings people to disliking him by his very actions. Don't worry peeps he will screw up again and it will be news worthy. Guys like woody always show there true colors. How he was elected is beyond me. The wolf is running the hen house. Its really a shame New Mexicans aren't smarter on who they vote for cause Woody is only capable of being a rent a cop, not more and even thats pushing it. I would never sign my john henry to my opinion. Are you crazy? I don't trust Woody as far as I could throw him.

It's very certain that this election did not vote for the person, they voted for the party!!
Republicans wanted to make a statement and they did. So Mr. Wood you should thank your lucky stars that Mr. Casaus was not running as a republican cause you would have not made it to first base!!!

Anonymous said...

I cannot imagine serving a county in which so many people HATE me. Lets give him a chance. Maybe he can clean his act up and get off his throne. For me he is a simple mined person who cannot ever say he has issues. Those are some of the worse people to lead and deal with. Really, what are his issues and why do so many people hate him? Is it trust? His Ego? Is he an arrogant person because he is weak inside? The same word keep coming up.
Why? Could everyone be wrong? What is it he did to deserve such mis-trust. Lots of politicians have committed crimes. So what? Personally I think he is a simple mined ass wipe bully and nothing more. I dont think he is a capable man and I sure as hell don't think he should be leading a Sheriffs office. I think he strides over his bride as a way of showing that even ugly , fat men, can have a pretty bride. It lifts his ego. She is just too stupid to see it. So i'll close in saying, man what rants, hate and dislike for one man. BTW if he keeps threatening you, by all means reports it to the AG offices or the County Commissioners office. He may have won the election but unless he changes his selfish ways he will be cut down so quickly he wont know what hit him. What comes up and be taken down. He is NOT invincible.

What a Hypocrite Doug Wood is. Along the campaign trail he kept bragging about the wonderful job his deputies were doing in his department. Now, I read that he fired a deputy and wrote one up. What gives with that? Another comment by I figure a Wood supporter, is referring to ugly sisters, mommy wiping tears or hiding behind mommy's skirts--How tacky is that. Come on give me something more intellectual to read on this blog. Tell me a half intelligent Sheriff was elected.
Oh, and by firing deputies that is only going to show Wood's insecurity. C'mon Wood just be a sheriff and take care of Sandoval County with The wonderful Deputies you have. They have not done any harm to you. Stop your malevolent tactics of wanting to sue, fire, & write up your staff and citizens that have a right to express their opinions. We are not in this world to be loved by all.

I hope the Sheriff gave thanks that he was elected. The people elected him hoping he would be a leader. A leader who can lead men not bully them. He should be thankful he has deputies working to patrol the county of the people he serves. Many departments have a shortage. There have been issues brought up that some deputies want changed. It’s time to lead and address those issues. The election is over; it is time to unite the department that is what a leader does. You gain respect that way. Our country gave thanks on Thursday that we live in a democracy where people can choose who they vote for and should not have to be targeted after an election. Sheriff Wood time for you and your staff to put on the leadership cap and honor our constitution. The voters expect it of you. Your deputies expect it of you.

I saw on the news the other night were DEA had a tip line and they received several tips on the marijuana grow in the Jemez Mountains. It seem to me a couple of Wood's Lieutenants were in the newspaper making it sound like they discovered marijuana grow. Is there no end to the misleading of the public?
But then again, my impression of the two Lieutenant's is ones like Barney Fife and the others like Otis with all his DWI's.
I also noticed no news stories coming out of Sandoval County since the election is over. They all go back to sleep?

I use to have respect for Karl but I am starting to question a lot of things going on at the Sheriff's Office. It always appeared to me that Karl is the only one in the whole command staff that has any smarts. If Karl cant control Wood, it might be time to leave and save yourself. Tim Lucero tried to control JP and we all know where that got him.
Karl should of ran for Sheriff.

The crime stats reported in this Saturdays paper and Sandoval County is way up. Yes, it's sad.
And really Lt. Elders is putting a car out on a rural road in the middle of no where and watching it, the best use of deputies time? You've been watching to many Bait Car shops. And by the way bait cars are used in metropolitan areas.
Why not try good old fashion police work? Like patrolling the neighborhoods. I don't know why the Sheriff's Office uses Lt. Elder for a spokes person. I think he would be better suited on old HeeHaw re-runs with Grandpa Jones.

This is Jesse's Mom. Jesse does not hide behind his Mom's skirts. I do not wipe his tears. He is his own Man. I am very proud of him and his accomplishments. Even the fact that he lost was an accomplishment. He ran against a Bully. He even tried to bully me. I did not let him continue his insecure behavior. He acted like an insecure third grader in front of me. He can't get to first base with his so called investigation. Doug Wood is stupid in the way he behaved at the Range and was very unprofessional. I behaved professional with him and Lucy. God Bless Lucy and I hope she gets out of that relationship ASAP. He is nothing but a bully. Lucy you deserve a better MAN. Oh, and don't put down Jesse, you know you don't mean it. Say Hi to Gabriel Lucy and God Bless YOUR Mother. I knew her well and she was a good Mother. She worked hard for you all as I have for my children. Don't Let Doug Wood or any man influence you to do or say negative comments. That type of man is not worth it. There are other wonderful men out there. Jesse is one of them. I wish you Luck and Godspeed....Again Jesse's MOM

Many of you have posted some interesting and valid comments regarding the current Sheriff, Douglas Wood and the person that ran against him. Would you be interested to know that the department is now in shambles?! The department is so short of staff that the officers are working mandatory twelve hour shift. Calls for service are going unanswered for hours and we have a sergeant who was charged with DWI. He still has his job but they chose to fire Jessie Casaus for untruthfulness. Meanwhile Sheriff Wood is no where to be found. He is never at work and rarely answers his phone. Current information is that the undersheriff is going to leave at the end of 2016 to seek office elsewhere. The plan is to promote Lieutenant Elder to the undersheriff spot so that he can run for sheriff. What a joke that would be. The Deputy's that I work with do not want that clown in charge of the Sheriff's Office. It would be a mistake to vote for him. To my fellow Deputy's please stay the course and stay strong for the citizens of the county. These guys will be gone and hopefully someone with some morals will come and lead our department. Thank you all for reading...............
