In case you missed it, here's a repeat of a major event that is unfolding in the Levi Chavez trial. On March 16, 2012 we broke the story (READ IT HERE) about how APD's current Deputy Chief Allen Banks was caught lying while under a sworn oath to tell the truth when he was testifying in the labor hearing involving former APD officer Russell Perea.
We also partnered up with other folks to make sure that audio got spread out on the web: Listen to it (HERE).
Not surprisingly, we heard another wave of threats about how the 5th and 11th floors were going to take your lovable Eye out. But since these recordings are public record and can be obtained from the city's Administrative Hearing office, and well, are simply the truth, our little terrorists in city power did what they always do....fade away in the night.
Now to be clear, we never supported Russell Perea as a person. It seems there are some very suspicious discrepancies in his account of what he and fellow officer Levi Chavez were doing at the time they were working together that fateful Saturday night in October of 2007. We were critical of APD's efforts to unlawfully terminate an employee. We remain highly critical of Schultz, Banks, and Feist's inability to do the right thing even when it was so obvious there was a coverup for Levi's whereabouts when he was at work. They were so pathetic it almost seems they tried to bungle the termination. And when then hearing officer Zane Reeves overuled the termination, Rob Perry did what Rob Perry does when he doesn't get his way: fire people.
Interesting fact: The murder of Tera Chavez occurred in Los Lunas; Russell Perea worked for Los Lunas Police Department before lateraled over to APD. Hum...Levi Chavez was a lateral too who left Rio Rancho and is in default for the cost of training.
Now Mr. Perea is doing everything he can NOT to testify for his buddy Levi Chavez. How weird is that. One year ago he argued he and Levi were simply working a DV call together where one tagged evidence and wrote the report while the other booked the suspect over a course of a few hours. NOW Mr. Perea is asserting his 5th Amendment right not to self-incriminate himself...
Weird.

There isn't one top level official at APD who is not a liar. Just ask the former / retired commander of swat about when he nailed Banks for lying his scum bag ass off. Then ask him about how Schultz arrogantly covered it up by saying that the complaint wasn't going anywhere because the protected one was his deputy chief.
Wow...that's Banks? Is it possible for anybody sound anymore stupid?
6:24,
No, I don't believe it is more possible...
Wheeler appears to have glazed, blood shot, watery eyes. Pills or alcohol abuse? I wonder if he drives his APD issued car looking like that? What does a DRE say about his eyes on the witness stand? The funniest is Russell "Gangnam Style" Perea. What a fat POS! I would be embarrassed to be associated with any dept who hired his Gangnam Style looking wannabe fatass!
THIS JUST IN. RETIRED DCOP CASTRO TO BE NEXT APD CHIEF.
Just curious. Maybe I'm color blind. What color are the vests that we were issued? Look black to me. Lil miss snatchez........I mean sanchez states other wise. If your wondering wtf am I talking about read her statement she gave the court on ch. 7 levi chavez live coverage.
Castro? Really? Meet the new boss.....sam as the old boss. This guy is knee deep in the same crap Schultz has been. Politics over whats right. Lets hope not. If a nationwide search turned up Castro thats quite a search.
10:52,
Gangnam style........!
Holy shit!
Lofl!
I think i just schultzed myself AGAIN!
Only two years late but oral argument by Mowrer next Tuesday July 2 at 10am at NM Court of Appeals. This is for Apoa contract lawsuit. If u are or were an Apoa member under the current contract this affects you.
Castro is in Scotsdale,AZ. Where all the thiefs hide. What a cover up if he is brought back. I swear half of the retired COA SCUMBAGS are in Phoenix, to start it all over again.
I wonder if Jessica Garate will be broadcasting the news on the upcoming Ficke trial? She can refer to herself as Former PIO/Sergeants mistress
That's strange I heard Tasia Martinez was going to be the next chief? With all her vast experience as a Hispanic/Vulcan female with three whole years on she would make a great chief!
Castro?! The guy who gets to pull more than thirty cops from the field for more than a week on the clock supporting his political group but we don't bill them for all the Chiefs' overtime because it is the NRA.
Meet the new Chief He's going to clean up corruption by having us do work for his friends on the City dime
Jessica Garate can conduct a live broadcast from the courtroom. After all she will be one of the witnesses called to the stand.
I would be surprised about Castro. He lied in his depo to Brad Hall said he didn't have an affair with female 34. Female had a miscarriage and said it was Castro's baby.
LOL @ 6/26 11:03 am
But he's a Christian church member? This Castro douche bag used the church as a means of getting his property cleaned up. Once I found out I was at "slumlord" Castro's property, I never volunteered again. Shame on Sagebrush for not doing their homework on "slumlord" Castro.
Castro was always about himself and only himself. He was also part of the Chief's board that hired a bunch of questionable people.
Do these officers really cheat on their wives?? if so name them!!?? are they any good family men cops out there? this is freaking sad!!!!!
OH YE of little faith... The next Chief of Police is THE DOJ......
there was a female employee who worked at the airport security dept. 2 or 3 years ago,maybe a little longer and her last name was Davenport, this Levi Chavez and her were 'dating'.hen she finds out he's married and breaks it off with him, but he became somewhat of a stalker and would go in there EVERYDAY to harass her, finally a complaint against Levi Chavez was filed by employees and it was turned over to the top guy there @ the airport. he came down and asked some questions but in the end he said that there wasn't enough evidence to go after Chavez !! Even though the P.O.S. @ the airport knew he was causing a disturbance everyday, finally Davenport quit because it got so bad. that SOB Chavez couldn't EVER keep it in his pants.
Russ Perea was a good cop and is a great/faithful husband to his wife. It's a shame that the media and this blog can't get the facts straight and spread lies about him!
Castro hired Levi Chavez when he was chief in charge of Recruiting/Backgrounds. He also hired, Wallace, Gibbs, Luttrell,Wheeler and a slew of others who cant seem to stay out of the news. look it up folks!
Castro is just the guy for the job!
Agree! Russ doesn't deserve what the media is doing to him.
Russ taking the fifth and most likely being granted immunity in the Chavez case makes for shocking headlines, but who can blame him with all the perjures in high positions??
MY HUSBAND IS A POLICE OFFICER, WE'VE BEEN MARRIED 43 YEARS,HE IS A CHRISTIAN,AND I CAN POSSITIVELY GUARANTEE HE HAS NEVER CHEATED. I BELIEVE ALL THIS SCREWING AROUND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY MAKING EVERYONE SIGN A MORALITY CONTRACT AND IF THEY BREAK IT THEY ARE FIRED FROM THE TOP DOWN.
I am sure that SOME APD officers are honorable persons who are faithful o their spouses.
However there is some deep corruption in the force,and the higher authorities--namely Berry and Schultz have done little if anything about the rotten apples.
I have it on very good, reliable authority that an APD Vice Squad detective lieutenant, who is married, has had a long-time love affair with a prostitute. The Lieutenant's lover-prostitute was a key to "exposing" the Southwest Companions website. So there is just one example of corruption and cover-ups.
Oh, it took a full eight hours to book a DV offender, write a simple 42, and tag a belt tape? And all while riding two man? Riiiiiiiighhhhtttttttt.......
I will be watching the battle of the brunettes
At last the community gets to see what APD is made of: Levi chavez
Hell Levi is having sex w everyone from phone sales girls to RTCC movie stars! He's so sexy I'd let him do me twice just to be added to the witness list they are parading in front of a jury in Sandoval Co. Is he related to that sheriff John Paul Trujillo out there or what?
Exactly what is a detective lieutenant? Don't think APD has that rank. Also you think that us good info why do thou give name or initial?
Sorry Jo Maurer,
Being a Christian has absolutely nothing to do with the subject. Glad your husband is faithful but you sound a little insecure. Who cares. This case is about murder and cover ups by APD personnel.
Is it just me or does it look like a Truthfulness case needs to be opened against Heather Hindi-Chavez after her testimony today? I sure wouldn't want her building a case for one of my own. Her credibility is even more shot now than it had been by marrying Levi.
I would assume that the lead detective or at least someone with APD was able to get the booking sheet as well as the evidence tag info and the report to verify which officer signed off on all of it.. And now there is cellphone info showing that Levi just happened to have his cellphone off during the times in question. Sounds quite suspicious..
Holy Cow the picture in this mornings paper of Levi looking at Heather was very creepy. The look of a person that is not to happy.. How can Heather sleep at night and they have a kid together.. GEEEEEEEEZ
Does Heather really think that she is the ONE woman that can make him settle down? Heather, you are like everyone of those others--you don't think he told them,"I never knew it could be like this" I never knew what love was until you came along. His infatuation with you will not last. Don't be so blind. He is a #1 creep and will tire of you and start having his little adventures again! You look tired so very tired on the stand. I remember you had the sweetest softest kindest face, too very trusting---and it's taken a toll on you. 918
"That was the past" Well the past has come back to bite Heather in the ass... Levi will be found guilty and Heather will be left to take care of those kids while Levi does his time.. I bet she will cart them back and forth for visits.. Well at least the kids will have an something interesting to tell their friends and then write about it when a teacher assigns it as a paper.. WHAT I DID OVER THE SUMMER... NICE...
Heather screwed up bad, ever hear of "damaged goods, do not accept"??
Your a f'ing loser HHC!!!
Over the past few weeks it has become obvious that Levi Chavez has read "Secrets to Scoring With Dumpy Ugly Trashy Women" from cover to cover and even backwards and upside down numerous times. His conquests have made him a legend in trailor parks.
I'm not going to pretend as if I'm an expert, but how are some so sure Chavez will be convicted?
It sounds to me as if the prosecution's case is nowhere near as airtight as they thought.
@835 because we know the one fact not yet introduced
The computer forensic specialist was very good and Levi's lawyer didn't do anything to discredit his testimony.
@ 6/30 1049,
Is that something that can be (or has been) shared on this blog?
It ia wrapped up, and no facts divulged that will make this air tight. There were a lot of facts left out. Why did Steve Hindi not testify?
Why would Steve Hindi need to testify?
