Justice Department Issues Prosecutorial Review Of February Traffic Accident Involving Albuquerque Police Chief
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE LETTER TO SHERIFF JOHN ALLEN FROM GREER E. STALEY, DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL, CRIMINAL AFFAIRS. The New Mexico Department of Justice (NMDOJ) has conducted a full review of the February 17, 2024, traffic accident caused by Albuquerque Police Department Chief Harold Medina, which injured Mr. Todd Perchert, for potential prosecution. Our office undertook a comprehensive review of all available evidence in order to determine whether to charge Chief Medina with careless driving. The traffic offense of careless driving is a Motor Vehicle Code misdemeanor that requires proof of operating a motor vehicle in a careless, inattentive or imprudent manner. Based on our review of all available evidence, we conclude that, although Chief Medina’s actions might satisfy the elements of careless driving, a prosecution would not be warranted because of substantial evidence showing that Chief Medina’s actions were the result of duress. We decline prosecution and consider this matter closed.
