Tue, 11 Aug 2009 10:57:38 -0400

great that was gÃ° MINUS FIVE PERCENT. DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS ARE WORKING NON-STOP AHEAD OF THE ALL IMPORTANT SUPER TUESDAY. AND THEY’RE DOING ALL THEY CAN TO SWAY UNDECIDED VOTERS. OPRAH WINFREY ... AND CAROLINE KENNEDY LENT THEIR VOICES — AND STAR POWER TO BARACK OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN IN CALIFORNIA. 'We - too- have not had a president who inspired us - the way people say they were inspired by your father - John F. Kennedy - until NOW!' THE RALLY INCLUDED A SURPRISE ENDORSEMENT FROM KENNEDY COUSIN AND CALIFORNIA FIRST LADY MARIA SHRIVER ... Kennedy cousin - California First lady :30- :38) 'When I woke up this morning, I thought - there is NO place I should be but right here today.' WHILE OBAMA ATTACKED HILLARY CLINTON IN DELAWARE ... Presidential candidate :40-:44) 'The question is, are you RIGHT on day one?' SHE DID THE SAME IN SAINT LOUIS -- ASKING WHETHER HE'S READY FOR THE JOB. Presidential candidate :48-:58) 'We need to nominate somebody with the experience and the fortitude and the know- how to take whatever they send our way and SEND IT RIGHT BACK!' ON THE GOP SIDE ... JOHN MCCAIN IS AIMING FOR A SUPER TUESDAY KNOCKOUT. ... BUT MITT ROMNEY IS COUNTING ON CONSERVATIVES TO RESHAPE THE RACE. MIKE HUCKABEE ... MEANWHILE ... REJECTED ROMNEY'S SUGGESTION HE STEP ASIDE . Presidential candidate 1:12-1:20) 'If anybody should step aside, mllars to Romney should. After all, he's the one who spent a hundred million dollars to have the same market share that I've had for seven million.' ONE BIG DAY OF CAMPAIGNING LEFT BEFORE THE BIG DAY -- SUPER TUESDAY. OUR DECISION '08 COVERAGE DOESN'T END ON AIR. FOR EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TUESDAY'S PRESIDENTIAL DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS IN NEW MEXICO -- INCLUDING POLLING PLACES... JUST LOG ON TO ELECTION-DOT-KOB- DOT COM. NEW DETAILS TONIGHT ABOUT A FIRE ON THE SOUTHWEST MESA WE TOLD YOU ABOUT AT FIVE O'CLOCK. FIRE CREWS NOW TELL US THE FIRE CHARRED ABOUT 300 ACRES. THE FIRE WAS REPORTED AROUND 3-15 NEAR PASEO DEL VOLCAN AND DENNIS CHAVEZ. WINDS WHIPPED THE FIRE OUT OF CONTROL... BUT FIREFIGHTERS QUICKLY JUMPED INTO ACTION. It's very dry and when you have wind, it makes a lot of worse... and we really haven't gotten a lot of moisture to speak of this winter-- so it has this grass really dry.. and it'll spread very fast. RIGHT NOW CREWS ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT SPARKED THE FIRE. A NEW SUBDIVISION TO THE WEST WAS NEVER IN AN ANY DANGER. IN THE EASTERN PLAINS, WINDS ALSO HELPED FUEL AN OUT OF CONTROL GRASS FIRE. THE FIRE IN TORRANCE COUNTY BROKE OUT NEAR WILLARD... IT CHARRED ABOUT 10 MILES OF GRASSLAND. NO STRUCTURES WERE DESTROYED, BUT AROUND 500 CATTLE HAD TO BE MOVED OUT OF THE PATH OF THE FIRE. CREWS SHUT DOWN HIGHWAYS 42 AND 60 WHILE THEY WORKED TO GET THE FIRE UNDER CONTROL: I travel this road twice a week, and this is the first time I've ever scene one of these fires this bad out here. IN ALL... IT TOOK CREWS ABOUT THREE HOURS TO GET THE FIRE UNDER CONTROL. INVESTIGATORS ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT SPARKED IT. TOMORROW NIGHT -- ALBUQUERQUE CITY COUNCILORS COULD VOTE WHETHER TO REDUCE RED LIGHT CAMERA FINES. WITH LOWER FINES ... SOME WORRY THE PROGRAM COULD RUN OUT OF MONEY. JEFF MAHER IS LIVE AT COORS AND QUAIL WITH WHAT ONE COUNCILOR SAYS COULD KEEP THE PROGRAM GOING ... IF THE CASH RUNS OUT. JEFF? CITY COUNCILOR KEN SANCHEZ DOESN'T WANT THE CITY TO FORCE TAXPAYERS TO PAY FOR THE RED LIGHT PROGRAM IF THE FUNDING RUNS OUT FOR IT. HIS IDEA IS TO STASH SOME OF THE MONEY AWAY - TO KEEP THE PROGRAM ALIVE. 'I just don't think we can afford to dip into the general fund to pay for this program, this program should be self supportive by those who are violating the law.' CITY COUNCILOR KEN SANCHEZ WANTS TO PUT TWENTY PERCENT OF THE RED LIGHT CAMERA FUNDS INTO RESERVES. HE SAYS REVENUE FOR THE PROGRAM IS EXPECTED TO DROP IF THE FINES ARE LOWERED AND DRIVERS STOP BREAKING THE LAW. 'I think it's critical that we put that money in reserves because over a period of time - I would hope that fewer people would be running red lights and speeding through intersections' THE CITY IS ALSO IN JEOPARDY OF LOSING ALL OF THE MONEY FOR THE PROGRAM IF GOVERNOR RICHARDSON SIGNS OFF ON A BILL THAT WOULD GIVE ALL THE CASH TO THE STATE. THE STATE HAS BEEN PUSHING THE CITY TO LOWER THE FINES. THE CITY COUNCIL WILL VOTE ON THAT TOMORROW - RED-LIGHT RUNNERS WOULD PAY A 69 DOLLAR FINE INSTEAD OF 100. DRIVERS CAUGHT SPEEDING 0-10 MILES PER HOUR OVER THE LIMIT WOULD PAY 74 DOLLARS INSTEAD OF 159. ALSO IN THE BILL - AN OPTION FOR DRIVERS TO TAKE DRIVING SCHOOL INSTEAD OF PAYING FINES - AND ALSO, A PAYMENT PLAN FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T AFFORD THE FINES. 'I think a majority of the council likes the program, there's been a lot of issues we've been dealing with for two years, but I think that they like the program' COUNCILOR SANCHEZ SAYS REDFLEX, THE COMPANY THAT'S IN CHARGE OF THE RED LIGHT CAMERAS IS WILLING TO RE- NEGOTIATE THEIR CONTRACT. THEY'RE WILLING TO ACCEPT A FLAT FEE INSTEAD OF A PERCENTAGE OF THE FINES. LIVE IN NORTHWEST ALBUQUERQUE. JEFF MAHER. EYEWITNESS NEWS FOUR. INVESTIGATORS SAY A THIEF GOT INTO AN ALBUQUERQUE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THROUGH AN OPEN WINDOW... AND TRIED TO STEAL TWO COMPUTERS. BUT LITTLE DID 24-YEAR-OLD DALE ALONZO KNOW.. HE HAD TRIGGERED THE ALARMS. WHEN POLICE TOLD HIM TO PUT HIS ARMS UP, HE DROPPED A COUPLE OF I-MACS. A-P-S SAYS ONE OF THEM MAY HAVE BEEN DAMAGED. WE WENT BY THE SCHOOL TODAY.. AND FOUND ONE OF THE DOORS OPEN, BUT THERE WAS NO ONE THERE TO TALK TO US. AN A-P-S SPOKESWOMAN SAID SOMEONE WOULD GO OUT TO THE SCHOOL TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WAS SECURE. A BERNALILLO COUNTY DEPUTY ARRESTS A LOS LUNAS MAN FOR DRIVING DRUNK. AND IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME OTIS ARMSTEAD HAS BEEN POPPED FOR DRUNK DRIVING. INVESTIGATORS SAY IT'S HIS FIFTH D-W-I ARREST. THEY SAY WHEN THE PULLED HIM OVER LATE FRIDAY NIGHT DRIVING ON BRIDGE NEAR ATRISCO ... HIS BLOOD ALCOHOL LEVEL WAS AT LEAST TWICE THE LEGAL LIMIT FOR DRIVING.

AN 18 MONTH OLD BOY IN CLEO JUAN'S CARE WAS FOUND UNCONSCIOUS IN A BATHTUB IN MARCH OF 2006. COLBY SHIRLEY DIED TWO WEEKS LATER AT U-N-M HOSPITAL. JUAN PLEADED NOT GUILTY... EVEN AFTER INVESTIGATORS SAY SHE CONFESSED TO ABUSING THE CHILD WHILE SHE WAS OFF HER ANTI- DEPRESSANT MEDICATION. A 17-YEAR-OLD NEW MEXICO BOY-- ANGRY WITH HIS STEP FATHER ---IS ACCUSED OF BITING HIM AND THEN A FEW DAYS LATER THREATENING TO KILL HIM WITH A KNIFE. IT HAPPENED IN ANTHONY. APPARENTLY IT ALL STARTED THURSDAY WHEN THE TEEN AND THE STEP-DAD GOT INTO A PHYSICAL FIGHT. DEPUTIES SAY THE BOY BIT THE FATHER. THEN-- YESTERDAY-- THEY GOT INTO ANOTHER ARGUMENT. INVESTIGATORS SAY THAT'S WHEN THE DEATH THREATS CAME. IN MARYLAND, INVESTIGATORS SAY A 15-YEAR-OLD WHO GOT INTO A FIGHT WITH HIS DAD, ENDED UP MURDERING HIS ENTIRE FAMILY. IT HAPPENED FRIDAY AT A SUBURBAN BALTIMORE HOME. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, POLICE SAY THE TEEN SPENT THE NEXT DAY HANGING OUT WITH HIS FRIENDS. WHEN HE WENT BACK HOME...AUTHORITIES SAY THE TEEN CALLED 9-1-1 SAYING HIS FATHER WAS DEAD. 'Early Sunday morning he did indeed admit that he had killed them He had been having some disagreements with father and this is how he resolved them.' THE MOTHER AND FATHER WERE 44 AND 45 YEARS OLD. THE TEEN'S YOUNGER BROTHERS WERE 13 AND 11. NOW TO SOME DEVELOPING NEWS OUT OF IRAQ... THE U-S MILITARY SAYS IT ACCIDENTALLY KILLED NINE IRAQI CIVILIANS IN A RAID AGAINST AL-QAIDA SOUTH OF BAGHDAD.

THE STORE DID NOT HAVE ITS OWN SECURITY CAMERA, BUT INVESTIGATORS ARE TRYING TO SEE IF THERE WAS VIDEO FROM CAMERAS MOUNTED AT NEARBY STORES. TODAY PEOPLE STOPPED BY THE CRIME SCENE TURNING INTO A MINI-MEMORIAL WITH FLOWERS AND CANDLES. IT LOOKS LIKE BRITNEY SPEARS WILL NOT BE GETTING OUT OF A PSYCHIATRIC WARD FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. SPEARS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE RELEASED FROM AN L-A HOSPITAL TODAY. BUT SOMEONE CLOSE TO SPEARS TOLD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS THAT DOCTORS AND A MEDICAL OFFICER AT THE HOSPITAL DETERMINED SHE'S NOT READY TO LEAVE. SNOW HAS POUNDED SOME PARTS OF NEW MEXICO....

Sex offenders blame KOB-TV for capture

Thu, 09 Apr 2009 02:51:31 -0400

THREE TIMES THE LEGAL LIMIT. TONIGHT THE BERNALILLO COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT TELLS US SOME CONVICTED SEX OFFENDERS ARE GETTING PRETTY TIRED OF KOB TV. WE'VE JUST LEARNED THAT TWO MEN WE FEATURED ON OUR RECENT SEX OFFENDER HOTLINE CAME OUT OF HIDING AND TURNED THEMSELVES IN — AND BOTH BLAMED JOE VIGIL -- JOE. IT'S PRETTY CLEAR THAT BOTH MEN HATE SEEING THEIR PICTURES ON THE PICTURES ON THE NEWS. WE KEEP SAYING THIS. IT'S VERY SIMPLE, FOLLOW THE LAW AND WE WON'T SHOW YOU. WE CERTAINLY WOULDN'T EXPECT TO BE CONFIRMED AS A FACEBOOK FRIEND BY EITHER REMIJIO VALLEJOS---OR DWAYNE RODRIGUEZ. BECAUSE THEY FAILED TO RE- REGISTER--- WE PLASTERED THEIR PICTURES ON THE NEWS IN OUR SUNDAY NIGHT SEARCH FOR SEX OFFENDERS SEGMENT 'The hotline is now open...' AND JUST RECENTLY ON OUR SEX OFFENDER HOTLINE. WE'RE TOLD BOTH GREW TIRED OF SEEING THEIR PICTURES ---SO BOTH TURNED THEMSELVES IN. VALLEJOS WALKED UP TO THE COUNTY JAIL ON TUESDAY AND SPILLED THE BEANS HE WAS WANTED. AUTHORITIES ARRESTED HIM ON THE SPOT. 'He says I know that guy on Channel 4 the one that does all the sex offenders he's after us. I know he won't stop until we basically put him in custody.'AND DWAYNE RODRIGUEZ TURNED HIMSELF IN THE DAY AFTER BEING FEATURED ON THE HOTLINE. THIS IS WHAT HE TOLD DETECTIVE BURKE. 'Kind of the same thing, that Joe Vigil guy he goes after sex offenders pretty hard he goes I don't want to keep getting shown on the news over and over again. I just figured it was going to be easier to turn myself in basically.'THAT WENT DOWN AT METRO COURT. DETECTIVE BURKE SAYS RODRIGUEZ WALKED UP TO AN ALBUQUERQUE POLICE OFFICER AND SAID HE WAS A WANTED MAN. 'Said I'm wanted for failing to comply I have a warrant for my arrest.'
