Last week we told you about APD officer Levi Chavez whose wife had apparently committed suicide after finding out that husband Levi was having an affair (read it here). KRQE News 13 reported a few days later that investigators told them that the case wasn't "clear-cut" and that they were taking an "extra look" (KRQE News 13).
Today we got word from our Eyes that the "extra look" has resulted in increasing suspicion that Mrs. Chavez's death was not caused by a self-inflicted gun shot wound. In addition, the Eyes have it that there are questions about officer Chavez's statement and his actions prior to and following the incident. Investigators are currently waiting (along with the 5th floor) for the results of forensic tests on evidence taken from the scene.
APD's top brass is said to be nervously awaiting information that could further shake the confidence in the leadership of a department that is already suffering from one too many black eyes.

Figures, this was just another lateral from Los Lunas they just rushed through for the numbers!!!
There were alot of problems with that bunch of laterals APD took from Los Lunas!
Who is the APD Officer that Chavez is rumored to be having an affair with?
The administration just keeps burying this dept!!!!!
Brings to mind another high profile death of a NM police officer's wife. Hopefully, NM law enforcement has learned its lesson from that fiasco and will stop covering for cops whose wives die under mysterious circumstances. Unforunately, don't expect any assistance from Lemuel Martinez, the DA in the 13th, his track record proceeds him and it sure ain't good.
Isn't that two for APD within the last year?
Who is the female officer? She will probably get promoted out of this whole mess!

Illinois-
Office Peterson's third wife's drowning in the bathtub was not accidental.
If you are saying the "other" is a whore of some type, then that means you are referring to another dead person? have you lost your mind? What kind of person would say such a thing? I can see if you want to voice some issue like so many do here, but this is a terrible tragedy, people are dead and it involves 34's. no one has been arrested or charged with anything. is there no benefit of the doubt with us anymore? When did we become so self-righteous? This administration just also left two of the hardest working 34's we have on this department hanging to dry. WE DONT EVEN KNOW IF THEY DID ANYTHING WRONG!!! If we are going to indict or fire for squabbles in a bar then thousands of you out there should be unemployed. we have let them divide us..........
If you count the number of APD officers who have been arrested during the time Schultz was DCOP and now Chief the list is very long. He owns that and as a citizen I demand a better police department. The Eye needs to produce this list of rogue officers, going back to Schultz's DCOP days. When produced it will be very long and will hopefully cause his resignation. Schultz owns the problem officers, he hired them.
Will APD reach 1100 full time officers by Jan 1, 2008? If they claim they have, will the produce a list with names and where they work so it can be verified?
"If we are going to indict or fire for squabbles in a bar then thousands of you out there should be unemployed. we have let them divide us.........."
Are you INSANE ot just STUPID. Are you saying we should look the other way when someone gets charged with a felony???
I mean I didnt hear anyone one of you defending the state police officers who wear arrested by APD downtown when they got mouthy. Is it a different standard when it involves one of our own?
The bottom line 34s are held to a higher standard and it reflects bad on the others who wear the uniform. THEY chose to go to a bar, get drunk and fight with the bouncers, so quit blaming others because ultimately we are all responsile for our actions and there are consequences for those actions.
Thats why you are the problem. Do you know they were drunk? is it illegal to go to a bar? Do you know what happened out there? is there a chance they are being home-towned into the ground? why have you convicted them already? you are the reason the morale is so low here.........Do you know the history that the ft. smith pd has of jacking up federal and other cops who are in town to earn some money? you dont know any of this,but you are terrified of your boss and losing your precious paycheck so you shit on those you are supposed to look out for. fuckin retire already
by the way both insane and stupid I suppose, but loyal, unlike you. sellout
by the way both insane and stupid I suppose, but loyal, unlike you. sellout
Yeah,,, DCOP MC, retire and get the f*#k out.. This place will be so much better without you! Ken and Russ are good guys, quit convicting them before they have their day in court. Heavens knows you've had your share of problems with your ex-wife.
The sooner this administration leaves, the better. How much more damage can this place, APD take.
5 posts up. I feel bad for these guys but you know what, every officer needs to use some common sense and avoid those places that trouble brews in, when off duty. I mean come on, find another place to go instead of a bar. Drinking, adultery I don't feel sorry for anyone who does those things. Think about it, almost all the officers who have been in trouble recently have either been associated with booze or with adultery or both. Ethics, morals, using your head, come on folks this isn't brain surgery. Think about the consequences of your actions. When I was out of town or in town I avoided bars like the plague. And I stayed away from other mens wifes.
Now I am not saying I know anything about what happened, I don't really care. All I am saying is don't put yourself in those situations and bad things normally do not happen.
Not everyone who psots here are command, I think most of the troops are just tired of all the lack of ethics and bad conduct that crops up from time to time. This includes some of the troops.
To say the ones who do their job and stay out of trouble are the problem only reinforces that some are just trying to justify the misdeeds from their buddies.
How can we use the term "pay us professionals a decent wage" when we act unprofessionals?
Stop condoning this type of behavior no matter who it is, fool!
Without condoning bad behavior, lets not be ridiculous about this "avoid bars and beer" thing. I see no law against being in a bar, off duty, unless you are armed. That being said, if you are ANYWHERE and some jackass accosts you, you do react like you always will (i.e. like a COP). I avoided bars as much as I could compared to my peers over the years and I still have seen at least 10 bar fights involving 34s. All but one were the result of some jackass knowing they were off duty cops and starting crap. Some of the Ft Smith locals & some of their officers are reknowned for exactly this. I never fall back on the old adage that "I know these guys and they couldn't do something like that." However, I do know both these guys and I find it highly unlikely that they just arbitrarily beat up some poor innocent doorman who was wandering past.
As to the poster who made the cracks about the adultery I concur, I had an fellow 34 take my ex from me and frankly he got what he deserved -- he got HER, stupid liar is still with her and Iim sure he has bleeding ulcers by now.
"I mean I didn't hear anyone one of you defending the state police officers who wear arrested by APD downtown when they got mouthy. Is it a different standard when it involves one of our own?"
I regret to say this, but, and since I was at that incident, there is some weight to this observation. Those two staties got what was coming to them and they were DICKS! Having said that, doesn't mean I like the Chief's comments but I do agree that a higher standard of personal conduct is expected. Sigh.
Last post,,, I agree, but don't you think that the Chief's office should lead by example!!!!
Take the last bunch. The Chief and his Deputy chiefs were drinking and going out with tons of other women, not their wives. Gilbert Gallegos, Ed Sauer, Fowler Johnston, and lets not forget DCOP Paul Chavez who let his admin substation girls run his command! I know I was there. The girls(Luceia) ran the command!
That 5th floor was the absolute worst example in APD history!!!! So, when you wonder why we have problems with booze and wife stealing, and loose women, our officers are just a reflection of our pasted leadership!
This current leadership is only guilty of not respecting the officers or our rights! They are just in it for themselves!!!!
We need command staff that cares about its officers and dept!
Don't forget that they all have baggage!!
Okay... but all that aside, some seem to be missing the point. Irregardless of what the Chief or Deputy Chiefs are doing, each officer with APD is responsible for his or her own behavior. You may not be able to control what the Chief does, but you can control what you do.
Some very good points were made further up about personal responsibility, and that's what it all comes down to. I will always support the police. However, alot of officers seem to struggle much too hard with what's right and what's wrong. With what's approppriate and with what's unethical.
Good common sense should always prevail in your minds. You probably should'nt be hanging out in bars for example. Bars are where the more unsavory of society hang out. The people you arrested last week may be there. You should'nt cheat on your spouse. What are the ramifications if you're found out? There are consequences that go far beyond a moments lapse in judgement.
A higher standard must prevail. I have friends who are APD officers who complain all the time about a general lack of respect for law enforcement. Ironically, they also have no trouble admitting their own on and off-duty indiscretions to me in the same breath.
I really believe the public wants to support it's police department. But I also think that for the public to buy in, the APD will first have to stop crapping in it's own mess kit. In the end, it does'nt matter what the Chief does. The street cops will still be around after he's long gone. Nor does it matter what the State Police do. Take some personal responsibility. It's the only way to truly change how APD is percieved.
First, don't paint every APD officer with the same brush. For the most part-APD has exeptional men and women risking their lives every day. Second, I made an incredible spice cake with cream cheese frosting today.
You have every right to go hang out at bars in your off time. But when you do that, take the responsibility of your action if/when something bad happens. Don't go crying saying cops in other towns were in with the bad guys. YOU PUT YOURSELF THERE, accept and be responsible for your actions.
Whenever I travel out of town bars are the last place you will find me at. I take pride in my badge, love my family and would never want to bring any shame to APD. No one made me pin the badge on. I made that decision freely. As such, I try to live my life to a higher standard.
Who killed Kaitlyn Arquette?
Albuquerque teen's 1989 slaying remains unsolved due to police cover up? I know there is a good, moral retired APD cop who could help.
Kaitlyn was deeply involved in an Asian drug gang & was about to turn on her boyfriend, the gang leader & testify against them all. She was killed to keep her quiet.
Don't get me wrong, on almost accounts there's virtually an "anti-leadership" mentality within this department. How so? Its symptoms are easy to see:
1. Staffing trends reflect negative growth.
2. Reduced academy classes with class sizes reaching the point of open mockery
3. Decreased morale, job satisfaction, and productivity
4. Reduced applicant numbers.
Are these symptoms the result of the current Chief and DCOP’s? Probably not but they do a great job perpetuating this and they are a hard reflection of poor policy and gross mismanagement.
What is obvious is that there is media and public outcry and the administration is silent. There is open outrage amongst the ranks and the command is silent. The union, bless its heart, is emasculated in that sure there’s the fight behind closed doors and there’s the passivity of a well placed ad but there’s no obvious or otherwise visible leadership.
In fact the only time anybody speaks up is when some officer is about to get disciplined or fired. That action stands alone in speaking for itself. The hallmark of this period of APD, its nadir, is “we fire officers but promote sergeants, lieutenants, and captains”
P.S. "Bars are where the more unsavory elements of society hangs out" Yeah, every time I've been to Elaine's in NYC I see some really bad people....WTF???
Three posts up,, you are 100 % right, as long as you continue to live with those ethics this dept has a good future. I hope you have some rank or are planning to test up the promotional ladder.
As a citizen, I would like to see a dept that does not have the issues and problems that I have read here from your administrative bosses. The double standard that seems to be going around APD is just uncalled for!
I can't believe Mayor Chavez just lets all this mis-management go on. He did very little to curb the last administration and seems to not care what is going on with this one!
Come on Mayor!!!!!!Look at the poll on your Police Dept....Any idiot can see you have major problems...
Fix it! HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO BECOME A U.S. SENATOR WHEN YOU LET PROBLEMS LIKE APD FESTOR!!!!!
IT'S YOUr JOB TO FIX IT, THAT WHY WE, THE CITIZENS OF ALBUQUERQUE ELECTED YOU.
If you made a mistake selecting this chief, replace him and move on!!!
Did the APOA ever get the raise they were crying about when they put the ad in the paper?
Come on Mayor!!!!!!Look at the poll on your Police Dept....Any idiot can see you have major problems...
Fix it! HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO BECOME A U.S. SENATOR WHEN YOU LET PROBLEMS LIKE APD FESTOR!!!!!
Here's a reality check. The Mayor runs the Police Department. Fix it? He created it!
Ray owns them.\!!!!!!
No raise ever came of the ad,,,,Come on APOA, you started it, now finish it. We are behind you...
APD will not get their raise until the Mayor thinks it's a good time to give it!!!! The city council can say what they want, but this mayor is not going to grant a raise that has been approved for the officers....
Look at all that red light money he is going to use elsewhere!!!!
He will try to give this raise to help himself get elected to the senate!
he will trade the raise for an endorsement!!
To all the APOA Board members who kept saying go to the meetings to get informed and we are going to get the raise, the ad worked.
TOLD YOU SO!
The APOA , and nationally the FOP, have always backed people who promise money rather than those who have shown to be pro-police. Then the promises turn to dust anyway. -- Any police organization that backs a democrat -- let alone one that provides a sanctuary city and who has lied to you in the past -- gets what they deserve! Cops need to vote and be active as far to the right in politics as possible... no one will give up the money until they have to but right wingers at least back your play when it comes to putting people in jail... at least the working conditions improve.
Wow! Spice cake with cream cheese frosting sounds really good about now!! Thanks for the dessert idea!
Marty has lied to just about anyone that had backed him and donated money...He has a long history of doing that! Although APOA President at the time, Paul Pacheco gave him $40,000. of the APOA's money, he has never helped the dept. If fact, he has screwed APD with his choices of police chiefs, Gallegos and Schultz. These two guys were and are in it for themselves, not to help the dept......
Marty never pays back,,,,you need to remember that when you vote or think of supporting him!
Marty Chavez has my vote, my full support, my shoe leather and my cash contributions! I think he is an excellent Mayor & will be an even better Senator for NM.
But will they let you out of the mental hospital long enough to go vote for him?
"I am not seeing the reduction in accidents that justify the headache and conrtoversey"
Hey APD here's an idea, since you're going to be blamed for mishandling the Red Light Camera system and the political demise of Marty's senatorial bid, why don't you just be a man, stand up and leave politics to politicians.
Chief and the DCOPs, do the right thing before this phase of your career ends. Tell the public like it is and go down fighting for your troops who fight for you everyday. There is no better time than that coming up. He's wounded and will be thrashing about blaming everybody but his own poor leadership. You however still have a choice whether you want to leave with your head held high.
Remember what integrity means: doing what's right especially when others aren't looking. Well it's time to cowboy up.
It is amazing how so many things get blamed on lateral officers with APD. I think APD has hired their share of bad cops who are not laterals. There is currently one officer with an indictment for killing his step-father and another one facing rape charges. Not to mention the past officer who was a bank robber and the one who crashed his police car while he was drunk. These officers were not laterals.
Yes, APD does make some bad hiring decisions, both laterals and non-laterals. This administration is more concerned with meeting their "quota" of 1100 officers than they are with the quality of the people they choose to hire.
APD cannot compete with other agencies and are forced to take some less than desirable candidates due to the low pay. A recent study showed that Albuquerque is one of the most violent cities in the nation yet our officers receive the fifth lowest pay in the state. I am sure if APD wages were compared with the wages of other comparable sized departments throughout the nation we would be at the bottom of the list for pay and benefits.
If APD paid better they would draw more applicants to their testing process. If we had more quality candidates we could pick and chose who we hire, not be force to hire candidates with questionable histories just to get the numbers we need. The only way we will start getting more quality candidates is if we are competitive with other agencies.
The administration should be more concerned with taking care of the good officers they have and with recruiting quality candidates than they are with simply getting the numbers the mayor's office demands.
The citizens of Albuquerque need to tell mayor marty that it is time to take care of the people who risk their lives for us everyday. APD officers have not had a raise in almost 5 years.
There are some officers who need to go, but the majority of our officers are truly Albuquerque's Finest.
If we keep paying such low wages we will keep getting the same bad results.
The citizens will do nothing unless the APOA gets out on Civic Plaza and makes noise. I just don't think the current breed of APD officer has the guts to do it. Do you?
Five posts up,,, you must be Nick Bakas, Schultz or one of his other minions!!!
Where is the APOA?????????
They must be washing Schultz' car or cleaning his laundry!!!!!
You guy are just throwing your money away being part of the APOA....They have elected Marty twice.....With your money!!!!
What has Marty done for you, APD!
It is easy for APD officers to come here and bitch, but that will not change anything. The APOA needs to camp out on Civic Plaza and do it now. With Marty running, a public dispute with the police, after Albuquerque was named one of the most violent city's in the nation, will stir up some action.
Does anyone at the APOA understand this? How many years can they keep blowing you guys off?
I'll strike. You bring the pizza.
The APOA leadership will continue to squander your money 50K at a time, because in doing so, they get in return a big fat salaried position.
Rank & File; what is it that you don't understand about this arrangement? Let's see, 3 terms as Mayor, about $150,000 of your membership dues over the years. That could have been invested in a money market fund and would have gotten a lot more than the dick dribble he's given you over those same years. Only the few scabs that took your money and gave it to Marty made out. PRICELESS
Sorry, but it's the truth.
We get a lot more than 'dick dribble', we get it all.
Is that why everyone is wearing their pants backwards today?
A few post up,,,, You are right. $150,000. over the years to Marty Chavez, that's crazy!
Make sure your APOA does not give him money for the senate race. It will be money again wasted.
However, the APOA president and Vice President might get six figure jobs at the APOA members expense,,,ie, Lawerence Torrez!!!!
That APD traitor!
There were APD officers that tried to warn the APOA about Lawrence and all the membership did was turn their backs on them. Some loyalty for fellow APD officers.
Lawrence Torres sold APD down the river....That guy was for himself from the start. Torres and Bakas first worked a deal to get him, Torres on APD, then after he f*#ked the APD membership, the Mayor moved him to the 11th floor. A position that is way above the guys head!!!!!!
He sucked as an Open Space Officer, always kissing ass to his buddy Ruben Griego, who Bakas made an APD Lt. They will also use what influence Griego's dad, ex-city councilor Vince Griego has left. Torres never even worked really as an APD Officer, always inside screwing APD.... Lets see how long it takes Torres or Vince Griego to get Ruben Griego promoted!!!!!!
I don't think these bums/minions can help you for the Senate race Marty!!!!!!!!!! Well, they can answer phones!
Udall is going to crush you!!!!!!
Ruben cant get promoted - paper trail is too big to be hidde
The infidelity on APD is HUGE. It starts from the top.. Look at Fowler, he had the audasity to go to Smith's funeral, talk about their friendship, then bang and marry his widow....Boy that was fast. Fowler went up there and said "we all envied him for marrying the homecoming queen" then he goes and leaves his wife, moves in with Rick's widow and then gets married. I know of two other officers that have done the same thing.. NO INTEGRITY...
OH hell, you must be young, I know of a lot more than two. It is honestly the worst aspect of policing, and the one that leads to the most infighting and disrespect. An old friend of mine once said "Come to APD where any of us can donate a kidney to the other as we are so incestuous." I still dont know whether to laugh or cry at that statement since it is so sadly true. Otherwise decent guys do it and so do some lowlife lying scum, it is the great equalizer that keeps us all at such a lowclass level. And being viewed as lowclass, dumb, blue collar types is why and how they hold us all back.
The Chief could fix this overnight by creating an SOP, like the military, for infidelity.
Then he would need to enforce it as strongly as he can.
He doesn't have the guts to do it because he would lose a number of his buddies.
After reading these posts I think I may have to start following my husband while he's on duty! Do you mean the male cops have affairs with the female cops or other cop's spouses?
There will be HELL to pay! I swear.
While they're on duty they have (whispers)sex? Are you sure? that's not real.
Maybe I'll start plumping him up so he's not so cute. A little extra butter here, a little more ice cream there.
I think I'll cancel his dental appt. Like I'm really gonna let him whiten his teeth now. By the time I'm finished with him, he'll look like a fat, little troll! I can live with that.
FYI Can't camp out on Civic Plaza, we tried that before, was told by administration if we didn't leave we would be charged with criminal trespass and discipline. I think they have posted civic plaza now, why don't we camp in Payne's Office, didn't he live in his Council Office back in the day,,, I believe he did.
How about a sit in at Marty's office?
Not to burst any bubbles, but when I worked at APD (civilian) I recall there were rumors of a woman giving BJ's to officers in elevators. Hey, I'm just sayin'!!
where was i when that was happening? I must have been out doing my job? i missed out on free elevator BJ's.
Since we are all remaining anonymous here, name some of the officers who are cheating so that the wives that read this can leave there bleaping asses!! because as far as I know my husband is not cheating but I could be wrong and I do feed him lots of butter and chicarrones, but you never know....
Yeah! Let's make them so freakin unattractive even we won't want them! By the way, maybe we should go have a look at that real nice fireman calendar.
Just kidding.
Concerning the Chavez death: Try this on for size HOMICIDE! What about the other two APD officers that are involved?
I guess after reading above,the TV program " Rescue Me" is not so far fetched.
Yeah, Dennis Leary reminds me of one DC, who was banging 24-7.
Is the media going to do a follow up story on the suspicious death of this woman? Albuquerque media sucks!
Let's not leave out the PD dispatchers..it's there for the taking (no,not ALL of them). One in particular MW who screwed a big fat Lt (now retired) and another Sgt RB (now retired) for YEARSSSSSSS. All the while married to another 34. He got smart and dumped her 400 pound ass. She always thought she was the only one RB was doing. What an idiot. He did everything that had a hole in it. Now that she's retired, I imagine there is a line of APD cars at her house 24-7. Maybe she was the elevator bandit. Wouldn't put it past her. The tunnel used always be famous for BJ's when dispatch was downtown. Now that they are out in the boonies, God knows what goes on in the sand dunes....My partner always says BCSO's kids and APD's kid can never date because they are all related.
Wow, this string of comments makes me sad that I always took the stairs!
Remember Donna Dean, the DWI gang banger?
Let's get out some popcorn and watch movies.
Yeah, talk about Jet Blue. Lot's of Blue in those movies and pics.
Ahh, those were the days.
Bet there are some that wish they didn't exist.
Saw Donna the other day.
Donna Dean-Rio Grande High School graduate?
Could be.
DA Donna
big bad Donna
If you are going to post messages that could be so harmful to others then you need to post the proof that goes with them. All this rumor crap is what makes APD seem like the keystone cops.
I don't know this Donna Dean but I think what is being posted about her is horrible, without any facts. I would urge the EYE not to allow these types of personal attacks without proof.
As a citizen I am ashamed of police officers who smear each other like this. It amounts to school yard bullying. I sure hope no one in this gals family reads these horrible comments.
If any of you who posted this stuff goes to church you really need to think about the direction of your life.
i confess i was with her,,,,, }:
Have your name posted on this blog saying the same thing and you wouldn't think it so funny. Or maybe you would think it funny until your kids, wife, mom, dad, family and friends read it.
This is the type of crap that goes on at APD all the time and needs to stop.
I'm ashamed, I was with her too. That makes 2 of us, what a tramp! She said I was the only one, I'm hurt.....
Donna Dean would just laugh and laugh. She doesn't give a damn what anybody says about her. She's too smart for all of this junk.
See what u did u mean mean poster above! u exposed that theres two of us now! he thought he was the only one, & i thought i was the only one and u made this a threesome! three is a crowd!
Donna how dare you! I bet Ray has an admission too!
Not Ray, I heard it was Gil
Not Ray, I heard it was Gil
Gil didnt go to those parties only Ray did back in the day.
Guess you weren't invited....
Post your names brave boys!
Donna if you read this garbage post the names of these guys. I bet they won't be too happy when they are exposed to their wives and kids.
Come on Donna they stated it, don't let them slander you like this, post the names of the officers!
Hey anonymous! Why don't you post your name as well? You want others to do what you're not willing to do.
I don't need to post my name as I am not naming people and defaming them publicly. I am not accusing anyone of adultery. These other posters have posted a persons name for the public to see and have accused that person of doing horrible things. I am only telling those who bully and smear people publicly to have the balls to post their real names.
The comments you make can be harmful. When you attach your real name to it, you think about what you are posting first and are not so quick to smear someone.
Think about it.
im scared to say my name cause ray was there w/ me & it could get ugly for both of us. its best to protect myself and if by doing that it protects ray and donna then its win win for all. so there
Yeah, what he said. I'm taking my marbles and going home. This sandbox is no fun anymore.....
No fun when you are held accountable for the slander you spit.
If more people would stand up and say enough of this type of bs the world would be a better place.
Yeah, Yeah what that last guy said.....
"I can't believe Mayor Chavez just lets all this mis-management go on. He did very little to curb the last administration and seems to not care what is going on with this one!"
You can't?? I saw him at a local SW restraunt b4 he was divorced with a certain working girl, late night, drunk. Twice!
A few years later I saw another certain city official there with that same working girl!! All this within the last 7-10 years. (somwhere around there.)
Something needs to change here. Someone gave way to the corruption and it is a big mess! They didn't even care that they were being seen??? That sucks. Tara dying and leaving 2 beautiful children hits home, too young with so much life to live!
P.S. .....
This is not an attack on good leaders or good APD officers. This is an attempt to get peeps to realize there is corruption within and it needs to be rooted out.
Oh Brother............
me 2 I'm dangerous
So who are the other 2 APD officers involved with the Chavez Death?
Ben Kirby & Mark Bralley, I mean the "Eye".....They killed her to keep her from exposing the truth about the real identity of the "Eye".......
See today's Journal, Marty admitted that APD only has 998 officers. Now we know he counts the part time CSA's so when you remove them APD is below 950! They graduate 9 officers right before Christmas and are expecting almost 70 retirements by Jan 1, 2007! This city's police department is in crisis with it's staffing. They are not growing they are shrinking.
APOA you need to get these facts out to the media ASAP
APD will have only 900 full time sworn officer by January 1, 2007! And God knows how many of them are under investigation and indictment. Good job Ray and Marty, you have finally driven the car over the cliff.
FYI: Officer Levi Chavez was not a lateral from Los Lunas Police Department. He was actually hired from within. He was with APD Aviation for a little over 2 years.
Damn Greeks....
Does anyone have a good recipe for oatmeal cookies that I can use for the Holidays? Please post, Thanks.
Levi was los lunas first tried to come to apd they wouldnt hire him so he went to aviation and layed low, then when standards lowered he came to APD then all hell broke loose and the greeks got ahold of him. Waallaa we have the conumdrum we have now!
Damn Greeks....
Someone's research was incorrect. Levi was first with Rio Rancho PD. Then went to Aviation. Then to APD. NEVER with Los Lunas PD.
I went to the Academy with Chavez. He did in fact work with RRPD.
Waallaa we have the conumdrum we have now!
Not a conumdrum for long.... He will be canned like the rest of the trash kicked to the curb by the Chief. APD, what a bunch of dirtbags.
Why does the eye keep removing Donna Romero from the list of names involved. The other ADP Officer is Nick Wheeler. Does anyone know how Nick is involved?
LC
Could the previous be talking about APD Debra Romero and APD Nick Wheeler? I know Nick; how is he involved?
APD's Nick Wheeler wasn't involved otherwise he'd be sitting at home collecting all that Admin leave pay like Mr. Levi Chavez it still doing.
Does the LC on the bottom of the above comment stand for Levi Chavez! I bet it does.
Does anyone know the outcome of this whole mess with Chavez and his wife?
The VCSO is still working this case. One thing for sure Tera Chavez did not commit suicide and she deserved a better person in her life than the scumbag she married! As for her affair with Nick Wheeler she could not get break in life; another scumbag! I truly believe if the family knew what she was going through, they would have interviened.
As far as my incounters with Nick Wheeler goes, he is an amazing man!!
Its funny how you people get your rocks off on other peoples drama. Her family knew what Levi put her through. They were married since High School. If I was married to Levi, I would have cheated on him too!
I know Nicks wife, does she know about this so call affair.
As for this amazing man Nick Wheeler; he should grow a pair and stop letting his wife do all the talking for him. Of course his wife found out about the affair, why do you think Tera is dead. I believe Tera thought Nick was amazing also. However, when it came right down to the the truth Nick threw her under the bus just like her scumbag husband "Ex APD Levi Chavez"
So what your trying to say is that his wife killed Tera? My eyes tell me thats not the case. Both Nick and His wife have been cleared. Tera threw herself on Nick, sounds like she just wanted someone. Dumb girl, Nick is married. Why would she put someone else through the same things she was going through with Levi? She sounds like a selfish girl.
Cleared? Your eyes lie. The investigatement has just started. So long farwell!
so why isn't Nick on admin leave? BECAUSE HE IS CLEARED! Its the mistress's that are still under investigation.
If you knew Wheeler's wife you'd be stepping out too
stepping out? What does that mean?
What's wrong with wheelers wife? She is very nice! Doesn't take much crap from people but I don't see anything wrong with that!
Is there any truth to a statement made by an APD Officer that Mrs. Wheeler informed the late Mrs. Chavez's husband of the affair between their spouses and in a jealous rage he took her life? As I sat for breakfast in Duran's Pharmacy this was the topic of conversation by Albuquerque's finest.
No truth to that rumor.she didn't know about the affair until after the girl died.
So there was an affair between Mr. Wheeler and the late Mrs. Chavez. Did Mr. Wheeler come forward and let his wife know? If so, now that took a pair!
there wasn't an affair! GEEZE!!! Straight from the horses mouth right here!
So theres a rumor going around that Levi Chavez is engaged to another APD cops wife? How true is that?
Does anyone know any recent news about this case?
