Special Agents with the Bernalillo County District Attorney's Office arrested Ted King. Court records show Ted had three outstanding warrants on cases involving aggravated stalking, harassment, embezzlement of motor vehicle and possession of drug paraphernalia. Investigators say Ted, on average, sent 50-100 text messages daily to an ex-girlfriend asking for forgiveness, verbal abuse, threats of self-harm and threats of violence towards her and police. As a result of his case Mr. King was allowed to participate in the Community Custody Program while under GPS monitoring, in which he failed to comply and cut off his ankle monitor.

I want to thank the DAs Office and especially Sam Bregman for the aggressive operations against crime. Wish the City of Albuquerque would adopt some of these tactics. Way to go Sam!

Today a judge ruled Pablo Abreu-Pena will remain in custody as his case goes through the judicial system.
In August, Albuquerque police tried to arrest Abreu-Pena when they say he pointed a gun at police.
Officers opened fire, shooting and wounding him. Abreu-Pena is charged with aggravated assault on a peace officer and multiple other criminal charges. Court records show he also has a criminal warrant out of Nevada.
Brianna Garcia was sentenced to 30 years behind bars.
This month, she pled guilty to multiple charges for her role in the death of Anjel Varela.
In January 2022, Anjel Varela was found shot to death in the driver's seat of his vehicle in the parking lot of an Albuquerque apartment complex. Earlier that day, Garcia devised a plan to rob Varela over drugs and coordinated with three other people to complete the robbery. Varela was killed during that robbery.
Court records also show Garcia has also been arrested multiple times for shoplifting.
Lock her up!
We should strive to sentence all homicide offenders to 30 years at minimum.
Our Metro Court attorneys have been busy prosecuting drunk drivers.
Today, three people were convicted of Driving While Intoxicated.

Metro prosecutors don't give up. Recently they fought and convicted a man of DWI after the defense kept resetting the case -- 18 times! The attorneys and staff are dedicated to making Bernalillo County Streets Safer.
