Breaking news out of Albuquerque! In a shocking turn of events, Officer Honorio Alba Jr., a key figure in the DWI scandal that has rocked the Albuquerque Police Department (APD), has decided to throw in the towel and resign from his position. This scandal has sent shockwaves through the community as federal authorities dig deeper into the alleged corruption within APD’s DWI unit.
Now, Officer Alba was supposed to face the music in an interview with internal affairs, but it seems he chose to take the easy way out and jump ship before things got too hot for him. Chief Harold Medina spilled the beans on Alba’s resignation, hinting that there’s more to the story than meets the eye. Well, ain’t that a kicker! Seems like someone didn’t want to face the music for their shady dealings.

Reports suggest that Officer Alba and his cohorts were up to no good, colluding with a local attorney to cook up a scheme that involved skipping out on court dates for DWI cases. Talk about a real doozy! This ain’t just a case of bad apples; it’s a case of a whole rotten barrel within the APD’s ranks. It’s no wonder these guys are dropping like flies under the scrutiny of federal investigators.
And get this – it’s not just Officer Alba in hot water. There’s a whole bunch of other officers caught up in this mess, with allegations of extorting hardworking residents for their dough. I mean, seriously, who do these guys think they are? The crooked cops of the Wild West? It’s high time they got a taste of their own medicine and faced the consequences of their actions.
As the FBI delves deeper into this cesspool of corruption, it’s becoming clear that the rot runs deep within the APD. With nearly 200 DWI cases tossed out due to concerns about these officers’ credibility, it’s evident that a serious cleanup is in order. These guys were supposed to serve and protect, not line their pockets with dirty money and prey on unsuspecting citizens. It’s a disgrace, plain and simple.
One thing’s for sure – in the land of enchantment, there’s no room for rogue cops looking to make a quick buck at the expense of justice. It’s time for accountability, transparency, and integrity to be restored within the APD. Let this scandal serve as a wake-up call for all those who think they’re above the law. The good folks of Albuquerque deserve better, and it’s high time these bad apples were shown the door. Good riddance, Officer Alba, and may justice be served swiftly and decisively.
