Court rules Raton police erred by seizing gun without Miranda
The New Mexico Court of Appeals upheld suppression of a pistol as evidence against Dennis Wheeler after police failed to give Miranda warnings before questioning him about gun ownership. The court also reversed the district court on a knife seizure, ruling it was properly taken in plain view for officer safety. Wheeler and Gallegos faced multiple charges tied to a Springer incident. Gallegos pleaded guilty to assault and received 210 years.
