N.M. Officials Face Drug Charges

(Albuquerque, New Mexico) Gov. Bill Richardson has expressed deep disappointment by the drug-possession arrests Saturday of State District Judge John Brennan and Patricia Mattioli, an official of the State Commission on Higher Education. They were apprehended after allegedly trying to elude officers at a DWI checkpoint and found to have cocaine powder in their possession. Brennan also failed a field sobriety test and was additionally charged with evidence tampering. Both Brennan and Mattioli have taken administrative leave from their government positions.

Since both the accused are chummy with the liberal governor, I suspect that the liberal media won't be giving the story much attention and that the charges will be downgraded to misdemeanors.
