BAD ATTITUDE
Gallup, Oct. 6
A male was seen throwing rocks at vehicles near 215 W. Coal Ave. Gallup Police Officer Vincent Thompson was dispatched to the scene and met the caller, who stated he was leaving the Inter-Tribal Ceremonial Office about 4:53 pm and saw the suspect, later identified as William Nashboo, 24, of Gallup, walking down the street cursing at people.
The caller said Nashboo shouted to give him an AK [weapon] and he would “finish you guys.” Nashboo then went to a nearby walkway, picked up several stones and began throwing them at several vehicles, striking the side of the caller’s car and causing about $156 in damage.
A witness also said they saw Nashboo walking and cursing at people and throwing stones. A second officer was dispatched and located Nashboo near a local business. The officer took Nashboo back to the scene, where both witnesses confirmed his identity.
Based on the investigation, Thompson determined Nashboo was the aggressor, but the report did not indicate any arrests were made. Both witnesses were subpoenaed for the incident.
