ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – An Albuquerque teen with a long history of getting into trouble just can't seem to learn his lesson. Now, police say he's been involved in two more crimes, even shooting at a pregnant woman.
The teen was supposed to have a pre-trial detention hearing Tuesday afternoon at District Court, but it's been reset to Wednesday morning. However, prosecutors want to keep him locked up until trial.
Albuquerque Police say 18-year old Mylin Bill was behind the wheel of a stolen car when he crashed into another vehicle, causing a 3-car pileup on Wyoming and I-40 earlier this month.
According to the criminal complaint, a witness caught Bill on camera, running from the scene shortly after crashing. At the time of the crash, he was on probation for other crimes he committed when he was a minor.
Bill is no stranger to police. Police have connected Bill to a number of other crimes around the city, starting when he was only 16 years old.
"He's a menace to society. Quite a record. He's only 16 years old, managed to rack up 44 felony cases against him," said Ofc. Simon Drobik back in January 2018.
Just a day before Bill was involved in the stolen car crash, police say he shot at a pregnant woman near Juan Tabo and Southern. He denied being the shooter, but a criminal complaint says surveillance video caught Bill shooting towards the woman and her boyfriend.
The state claims Bill is a danger to society and should stay locked up until trial. He turned 18 years old back in June.
2 accused of stealing about a dozen horses near Cuba, New Mexico
CUBA, N.M. (KRQE) – The New Mexico Livestock Board is looking for a man accused of a horse heist. Officials say Elijah Ivory is still on the run charged with transporting about a dozen stolen horses from the reservation near Cuba around Christmas time.
The Livestock Board sent a Snapchat video of Ivory and his alleged accomplice, Cody Schneider, rounding up horses in a trailer and trying to take off when their truck broke down. So they unloaded the horses and fled, investigators, say. The Livestock Board says Schneider was arrested days later after trying to trade a horse they believe is stolen for another horse.
