New Mexico rocks official corruption Old School!
In July 2011, Columbus dissolved its police force, due to a gun smuggling scandal that involved its village officials and others. The Mayor, a village trustee, a former police chief, and nine other people were indicted in the scandal. The case is being prosecuted by the United States Attorney from El Paso, Texas, but the case will be tried starting October 3, 2011 before United States District Court Judge Robert Brack in Las Cruces, New Mexico
Well, why not? It's not like police can't see the huge $$$ involved in smuggling.
It's just business, the American Way.
