New Yorker
(2015/02/02)
Excerpt from The New Yorker (02/02/2015: Brown had already been rejected by the Albuquerque Police Department,
in 1995, because he had bad credit, which was seen as a sign of recklessness. He ended up in the Roswell Police
Department, three hours south of Albuquerque. While he was there, a city councilor brought a civil-rights lawsuit
against him—she alleged that he had arrested her for exercising her right to free speech—and five citizens filed
complaints. He was accused of injuring a man by throwing him to the ground; of humiliating a mother when
arresting her for speeding; and of pointing his gun at someone who got out of his car too slowly. Later, he
estimated that he had drawn his gun during a traffic stop on at least ten occasions. In 2005, he applied to work for
the police department in Rio Rancho, just north of Albuquerque, but he was rejected for having a bad attitude.
Since the last time he applied to the Albuquerque Police Department, Brown had been in two car accidents and
filed for bankruptcy—events that the department typically considered indications of instability—but his second
application was accepted, and he was given a signing bonus of five thousand dollars. He didn’t take a psychological
exam. His training lasted six weeks…[after a struggle with Christopher…) Brown unholstered his pistol, a nine-
millimetre handgun that he’d owned since he was sixteen. He pressed the muzzle against Christopher’s back and
pulled the trigger. He didn’t hear any noise, and wondered if the gun had malfunctioned. He squeezed the trigger
again. This time Christopher said, “Ow.” Christopher was still trying to get up, so Brown shot him in the back a third
time. KRQE 03/11/2014: On Tuesday, the Torres family attorneys brought in a former Massachusetts State Police
officer and firearms expert who claimed evidence doesn’t match the officers’ stories about what happened the
night of Torres’ death.

According to authorities, Detectives C.J. Brown and Richard Hilger shot Torres in the back at close range while
serving an arrest warrant on a felony charge of aggravated auto burglary for trying to carjack a woman at a traffic
light. During the confrontation with police, Torres tried to punch Hilger and grabbed his gun as they scuffled in the
suspect's backyard, police said.
But Bacon said the officers did not present the arrest warrant when they confronted Torres in his yard.

Excerpt: A memo written Feb. 3, 2010, by APD Sgt. Ryan Buckner of the Criminal Intelligence Unit, the
department’s covert operations wing, cited “recent credible and multi-source information” of an “Aryan
Brotherhood plot to kill an Albuquerque police officer.” APD Cmdr. Doug West of the Special Investigations
Division downplayed the significance of the warning in Buckner’s bulletin, saying officers receive similar
information on a regular basis. He said the department was never able to establish 100 percent whether it
existed.Sgt. Dan Porter of the Special Investigations Division said police never determined whether Ellis or
Aaron Renfro — the other man shot fatally by an APD officer in January 2010 whom Buckner referenced in
his bulletin — were members of the Aryan Brotherhood. In another email obtained by the Journal, Buckner
informed West nearly a year after the initial tip that his intelligence unit had used physical and electronic
surveillance, controlled drug buys, undercover operations and other tactics to disrupt the alleged threat.

https://www.opposingviews.com/category/new-mexico-police-chief-caught-having-sex-ambulance
Excerpt: Despite no criminal activity taking place, Gallagher twice asked New Mexico State Police to
conduct an internal investigation of Burns’ actions. They turned him down both times.
The only hope of Burns seeing any real punishment for his actions is if the state Law Enforcement Academy
Board reviews his case. If they find his actions inappropriate enough, Burns could lose his police license.
Former New Mexico State Police Chief Robert Shilling thinks there is plenty of evidence to take action
against Burns. “It certainly falls in the preview of misconduct in a multitude of ways,” he said. “I can only
imagine, defrauding the taxpayers of being on duty or conducting yourself on duty when you’re saying
you’re doing something else. I think would fall under the purview of the Law Enforcement Academy Board.”

Albuquerque Journal
1998/10/16: Albuquerque Journal: Former BCSO deputy Darryl Burt, now a federal inmate, has
instigated a civil rights suit against the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department claiming he is owed
back pay and benefits denied him after he was charged with 34 counts of sexual assault and
extortion of a 16-yr-old boy. In 7/99 a federal judge dismissed the suit.(From Real Crimes)
(1996/08): Former BCSO Deputies Darryl Burt, (once an undercover narcotics agent) and Michael
Disney were taken into federal custody as the result of drug raids in their homes, after being
videotaped selling drugs in a parking lot across from Eldorado High School. Both men were working
at The Wild Side, Disney’s drug paraphernalia shop. At the time of the raid at Burt’s house, Burt and a
17-yr-old male took off through the bedroom window, both wearing only boxer shorts. A loaded 45-
caliber handgun, a Fix-A-Flat can filled with cocaine, and a BCSO badge and credentials were among
the items found in Burt’s garage. Both Burt and Disney later pled guilty to possession with intent to
distribute. The men were described as partners in a heavily armed El Paso-to-Albuquerque drug
trafficking operation. Burt was sentenced to 2 years and 9 months on a cocaine distribution
conviction in US District Court.”
(1995/04/25): Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Deputy Darryl Burt, who was acquitted in Nov. 1992 of sex
related charges, was indicted on 34 counts of sexual assault and extortion of a 16-yr-old boy over a
number of months and a number of different encounters. (These charges were unrelated to the sex
charges filed against him previously.) Burt was placed on unpaid leave from BCSO. He later pled
guilty to two misdemeanor charges and was sentenced to 728 days in jail…”

https://www.apnews.com/c5fe136da495516d72047a104692cc13
Excerpt: A former Bernalillo County sheriff’s deputy has been acquitted of sexually assaulting a male
motorist i
n a case that led to this week’s indictment of the county sheriff.
Darryl Burt was found innocent Wednesday of kidnap, criminal sexual penetration, criminal sexual
contact and of assault with intent to commit a violent felony. On Tuesday, Burt’s former boss, Sheriff
Ray Gallagher, was indicted on two counts of tampering with evidence in Burt’s case, three counts of
bribing or threatening a witness and a single count of aiding a felon. Gallagher denied the
allegations. It was Burt’s second trial; the first ended in a jury deadlock. Gallagher had invoked Fifth
Amendment guarantees against self-incrimination and refused to testify in Burt’s retrial. However, his
testimony from Burt’s first trial was read into the record. In that testimony, Gallagher admitted
throwing away two potential pieces of evidence: a tissue reportedly wrapped around the alleged
victim’s car keys and a letter that reportedly referred to a potential witness. The alleged victim, a
Mexican national, also didn’t appear at the retrial. Assistant District Attorney Paul Spiers had said the
man, who was in Mexico, was afraid, ″and he has been frustrated with the on-again, off-again nature
of the trial.″
Prosecutors had contended that Burt pulled over the alleged victim on the pretext of a traffic stop,
searched his car, walked him to the patrol car, fondled and performed a sex act on him, and then
pulled a gun. Burt said he only searched the man, because he suspected the man was concealing
drugs.

2003/12/19. Former Deputy Back in Prison By Scott Sandlin
https://www.abqjournal.com/news/metro/124522metro12-19-03.htm
Excerpt: Darryl Burt appeared again in court this week on new drug charges. It was the third time
the former Bernalillo County sheriff's deputy has faced criminal prosecution. Burt's fall from grace
began in April 1995 with his indictment on 34 counts related to alleged sexual abuse of a 16-year-old
boy. He eventually pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor counts, attempting to contribute to the
delinquency of a minor and attempted sexual contact with a minor, but prosecutors said at the time
that he had abused his position as an officer to prey on young Mexican nationals. The next year he
was back in court facing federal cocaine distribution charges. He pleaded guilty to possession with
intent to distribute and was sentenced to two years and nine months in the drug case. Burt
completed his prison time and supervised release and was working when he was indicted in August
on a charge of conspiracy to distribute heroin. He pleaded guilty to all three counts Tuesday. Terms of
the plea agreement call for Burt, 40, to spend eight years in federal prison.
The indictment alleged Burt conspired with Martin Rivas Munguia to distribute more than 100 grams
of heroin in Bernalillo and Santa Fe counties from Sept. 29 to Dec. 6, 2002. Munguia, who also has
entered a guilty plea, is set for sentencing in February, but he will be subject to deportation because
he was not legally in the United States, according to the prosecution.
