THERE COULD BE MORE LEGAL TROUBLE AHEAD FOR ALBUQUERQUE STATE REPRESENTATIVE MONICA YOUNGBLOOD, RECENTLY CONVICTED OF DRUNK DRIVING. THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS THE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE HAS DETERMINED YOUNGBLOOD USED HER ELECTED POSITION TO TRY TO INFLUENCE OFFICERS DURING HER ARREST EARLIER THIS YEAR…A POTENTIAL VIOLATION OF NEW MEXICO’S GOVERNMENTAL CONDUCT ACT.
THAT COULD MEAN MORE CHARGES BEING FILED AGAINST HER. WHEN YOUNGBLOOD WAS ARRESTED, SHE TOLD OFFICERS SHE HAD INTRODUCED LEGISLATION TO PROTECT THEM.
