Randy Mann

11/15: A McKinley County Sheriff’s Office Deputy was dispatched to Williams Acres over a domestic dispute early in the morning.

The 4:46 am call to Deputy Roxanne Slim informed her that a suspect had possibly thrown a victim out of a window, according to the police report. After arriving on the scene and speaking with the victim, 26, Slim found the suspect, Randy L. Mann, 28, inside the house.

The window to the residence was indeed broken, but the victim told Silm that she had broken it herself trying to escape the residence. She also told the deputy, “I believe he did try to keep me inside to keep me from leaving and from calling the cops,” according to the police report. Slim then arrested Mann for false imprisonment, battery against a household member, and criminal damage to property.

Merle Lefthadbull

11/10: Gallup Police Department officers caught a man driving a stolen vehicle on East Highway 66 after two men informed them of a drunk driver passing through a McDonalds parking lot.

When police found the vehicle matching the plates given to them by the two men, they encountered Merle Lefthandbull, 23, who was intoxicated and gave the officers a fraudulent identity. The officers allowed Lefthandbull to call his sister, but as he was on the phone he quickly turned eastbound on Aztec Avenue.

Police gave chase and caught Lefthandbull attempting to hide behind a trashcan, according to the police report. The officers called his sister to the scene, and after giving officers the correct identification Lefthandbull was arrested for unlawful taking of a vehicle, false evidence/registration, resisting an officer and concealing identity.

Bruce Donovan Begay

11/10: Just before midnight, at roughly 11:30 pm on Nov. 10, security discovered two teenage boys, 13 and 16-years-old, left in a car. One of the minors was “extremely intoxicated” and had to be taken away by ambulance, according to the police report.

One of the boys told GPD Officer Douglas Hoffman that it was his brother, Bruce Donovan Begay, 26, who purchased and supplied them with alcohol. Begay then left with a friend, 26, to Sports Page Bar.

The teenagers were left alone in the car for almost an hour in 45-degree weather before Hoffman arrived on the scene. The intoxicated teenager later registered a blood alcohol level of 0.171. Begay was arrested for abandonment of a child on two counts, and one count of supplying alcohol to a minor.

11/09: GPD officers apprehended a candy bar thief on Nov. 9, after a security guard noticed Anthony R. Madrid, 29, stealing a Butterfinger from a store. When the guard approached him outside, Madrid sprayed him with mace, according to the police report. Madrid then fled the scene, hitting a bush and the curb on the way out. Officers caught Madrid at Economy Inn, and then arrested him for armed robbery.
