Sex offender Gallardo driven from Deming after protest
Joseph Gallardo 35, a convicted rapist of a 10 year old, fled Washington state after a protest and suspected arson, then moved to Deming with his brother. About 100 residents protested by marching from an elementary school to the house, shouting Gallardo go home as police surrounded the residence. The brothers left town as officers tried to locate them amid ongoing community anger over crimes involving children.
