Tucumcari Considers Law Change After Drug Deals Targeting Ill
The city approves a resolution to send to the governor and NM legislators urging a fourth degree felony for selling illicit drugs to mentally ill residents. If unacted, a local ordinance would jail first offenses for 90 days and create a drug-dealer registry. Two deaths of mentally ill individuals in Tucumcari spurred the move. City Manager Paula Chacon reports the municipal pool could reopen soon with a new pump and staff, aided by a $216,000 state grant and a targeted overhaul of fees and accessibility features.
