Lapse followed jail attack on Herrera at Tierra Amarilla facility
The Tierra Amarilla jail faced internal review after Herrera, detained on five murder counts, gained access to the booking area and overpowered a guard. Warden Larry DeVapo cited a lapse in security as Herrera lured a lone guard and was allowed outside his cell for an hour daily, raising questions about transfers and supervision. A high speed chase, stolen truck, and subsequent killings in Taos and Abiquo followed. Police and prosecutors from Taos County and the Eighth Judicial District did not respond to requests for comment.
