An ex-legislative candidate was arrested yesterday for conspiring to pay four individuals to shoot up the homes of Democrat lawmakers.
The Piñon Post reported:
On Monday, the Albuquerque Police Department (APD) revealed that Solomon Peña, a former GOP candidate for state House of Representatives District 14 was arrested at his Albuquerque home. He is charged with conspiracy to pay four men to shoot at Democrat lawmakers’ homes.
As we previously reported, the politicians who were apparently targeted included outgoing Bernalillo County Commissioner Debbie O’Malley, Commissioner Adriann Barboa, and two legislators. Sen. Linda Lopez and newly appointed Sen. Antonio “Moe” Maestas were apparently targeted, although gunshots were heard near Maestas’ office, not his home.
Later, Democrat New Mexico House Majority Leader Javier Martínez (D-Bernalillo) reported he found gun holes and bullet remnants at his Albuquerque home.
It is good that the Albuquerque Police Department cracked the case and has the main perpetrator under arrest.
The suspect is a convicted felon who legally cannot possess firearms. What the heck was he thinking?
