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.
