Excerpt from Real Crimes: “10/31/03: Albq. Journal: NM State Police Officer Tomas Maes, shot a neighbor
child’s Golden Retriever puppy in the face with a 45-caliber handgun, because it wandered into his yard
after the neighbor, Vanessa Salizar, 12, accidentally left a gate open. Officer Maes explained he was

exonerated Maes of any wrongdoing. The dog survived the shooting but a few days later was poisoned.”

Malone, Casey (2017) Farmington. Wrongful allegations. Comments on alleged abuse by another officer (not Malone) on
Facebook.
KOB
Excerpt from KOB: Investigators said the video is from Jan. 25. They were dispatched to a report of an
intoxicated person in the entry way of a Dollar Tree store on Broadway. The officer placed handcuffs on the
man and while searching him, and the man fell. The officer was unable to stop him from falling. The video
seems to prove there is no evidence of the man being beaten, nor does it match what was described on
Facebook.“We were able to essentially absolve the officer of any wrongdoing in a matter of 30-45 minutes,”
Malone said. Farmington police officers have been equipped with body cameras since 2011. The
department says they take any accusations of wrongdoing very seriously. “If there is an officer that isn't
upholding our standards, we want to be notified, we want to look into the incidents, we want to take
corrective actions, we want officers serving the citizens of our community appropriately,” said Malone.

Excerpt from LCSUN-News-2017/02/07: The plot targeted specific personnel within the Carlsbad Police Department,
Artesia Police Department and the Eddy County Sheriff's Office, according to a news release from the Pecos Valley
Drug Task Force…Commander James McCormick with the PVDTF said the suspects planned to use firearms and
explosives to carry out their plans on the targeted officers….An ‘intensive, multi-agency investigation’ began once
the plot was discovered, police said, and led law enforcement to believe suspects had already taken steps to
further the plan. McCormick said it appears the suspects intended to hire assailants to target the officers. Excerpt
from Police One-2017/02/09: Commander James McCormick with the PVDTF said the suspects planned to use
firearms and explosives to carry out their plans on the targeted officers. Excerpt from Artesia News-2016/06/04:
“Albuquerque is the hub right now,” Cmdr. James McCormick of the PVDTF said Saturday. “Cubans traditionally only
dealt with cocaine and crack cocaine, but they have now expanded their horizons to include heroin and meth. And
they have lots of it, and it’s cheap.”

Albuquerque - case tried.
Real Crimes
See Real Crimes: A New Mexico State Police sergeant suspected of murdering his wife, Melanie McCracken. Behind
the Blue Wall: There seem to be holes in the investigation. Alb. Journal: A district judge has cleared retired State
Police officer Mark McCracken of murder charges stemming from his wife Melanie's death in a 1995 car crash near
Los Lunas. Retired District Judge David Bonem of Clovis was critical of State Police for not involving an
independent agency early on when investigating one of their own….McCracken was charged with first-degree
murder and tampering with evidence by a Valencia County grand jury in 2003, but the charges were dismissed
because an investigator for the prosecution was in the grand jury room during testimony.
