News and Views-Deweytommy-rodella-kob-tvI say enough is enough, it is time for Rio Arriba County New Mexico Sheriff Tommy Rodella to go. The Rio Arriba County Commissioners are calling for the Sheriff to be removed from office. The Albuquerque Journal is reporting this morning that the  Commissioners have called on “higher authorities” including the Federal Justice Department to remove Rodella, if he doesn’t resign by Tuesday.   Last week the Sheriff’s law enforcement certification was suspended after he and his son were busted by the FBI and indicted by the Fed’s on civil rights charges accusing them of assaulting a citizen, chasing the citizen while the Sheriff was not in uniform or in a law enforcement vehicle. Just plain nuts, a Sheriff out of control! The Sheriff also has threatened the County Commissioners with an investigation of his own after they called on  him to resign. The people of Rio Arriba County must also speak up for the removal of the Sheriff, let your voice be heard. The County Commissioners have a list of numerous allegations against  the Sheriff.

It is time for Governor Martinez and her opponent for Governor, Attorney General Gary King to show leadership in this issue! The safety of Rio Arriba County is at stake. Remove the Sheriff, he now has intimated the County Commissioners, he has been arrested by the Fed’s, had in law enforcement certification suspended, chased a citizen in his car with hos son, while out of uniform and not in a law enforcement vehicle  and who knows what else. Remove him before another person get’s hurt.

I would think the State Police should be called in and take over Rio Arriba County Law Enforcement and a complete investigation of the Sheriffs Department should begin. The entire Dept.

For almost 8 years I covered corruption in Rio Arriba County on New Mexico News and Views on KKIM FM that served the wonderful people of this area. Enough is enough! It is time for the light of Jesus Christ to shine!
