Notable case
In July 2011, Columbus, New Mexico, dissolved its police force, due to a gun smuggling scandal that involved its village officials and others.[5][6] The Mayor, a village trustee, a former police chief, and nine other people were indicted in the scandal.[5][6] 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 Judge Brack in Las Cruces, New Mexico.[6]
