BOY BEATEN

9/29, Gallup

GPD Officer Joe Roanhorse investigated a reported assault on a 16-year-old Gallup boy on Sept. 29.

The boy returned home about 5 pm and said he was walking home from a friend’s house in the Indian Hills section of town when three adults who appeared to be intoxicated attacked him and hit him several times near Olivia Park.

The juvenile had dried blood on his face, his checks were swollen and there was a laceration on his left cheek. He told Roanhorse he had not been drinking.

He was taken to the hospital and when Roanhorse later visited him there, he was reportedly told by doctors that the youth was found to have been drinking. His parents told Roanhorse they thought he had been beaten up by his friends.

No arrests were made.

Billy was transported to the hospital after complaining of injuries to his wrist, but these were found to have occurred long before the fight. Billy was then reportedly transported to the county jail and charged with two counts of aggravated battery.

 

ALONE AT THE TABLE

9/28, Gallup

A Naschitti woman was given a criminal summons for abandonment of a child after she left her 10-year-old daughter alone at a Wendy’s, 985 U.S. 491, in Gallup.

Employees at the restaurant said they saw the girl sitting at a table with no adult and after half an hour, they called police. They told police the girl had been with an older woman who left her there.

When they talked to the girl, police said she refused to give them any information because she was afraid of getting her mother in trouble. But one employee said he knew the woman’s first name as Sunni, but not her last.

At that point, the girl told police her mother’s name was Sunni Henry and she had gotten into a fight with her stepfather at the restaurant. The stepfather allegedly left in his vehicle, and her mother told her she was going to see where her stepfather was and would be right back.

Police then tried without success to contact Henry, 42, and eventually took the girl to her grandparents’ home.

Police later learned Henry was in a trailer at the Western Skies Trailer Park, and when they went to talk to her, she was found asleep. Henry was given a court summons at that time.
