Mayor Peter Nieto revealed during the July 2, 2024, meeting of the Mountainair Town Council that after he had assisted Mountainair Police Chief candidate Jimmy Macon with part of the process of getting certified as a law enforcement officer in New Mexico, Macon had stopped returning Nieto’s calls and emails. Mountainair’s interactions with Macon began on February 20, 2024, when the Mountainair Town Council unanimously voted to hire him.
