WITH ALL THE TEEN VIOLENCE BEING REPORTED IN ALBUQUERQUE, CITY COUNCILOR KEN SANCHEZ WANTS TO REVISIT THE IDEA OF A TEEN CURFEW. IT FOLLOWS MONDAY’S 3:00 AM SHOOTING DEATH OF A 14 YEAR OLD AT PAT HURLEY PARK … AND THE ARREST OF 16 AND 17 YEAR OLD BOYS AFTER A SERIES OF AUTO BURGLARIES EARLY TUESDAY MORNING.
SANCHEZ SAYS HE’LL ASK THE LEGISLATURE TO ALLOW ALBUQUERQUE AND OTHER CITIES IN THE STATE TO IMPOSE THE CURFEW AND HOPES TO INTRODUCE A RESOLUTION AT NEXT WEEK’S COUNCIL MEETING.
ALBUQUERQUE HAD A CURFEW IMPOSED ON TEENS UNDER FORMER MAYOR MARTIN CHAVEZ … BUT IT WAS STRUCK DOWN IN COURT.
