(Deming) – A Columbus man who had been gathering cattle on horseback reported being stopped Monday by two men with a gun who demanded his horse.
Luna County Sheriff’s Captain Jose Martinez said the incident reportedly occurred west of Black Hill between Columbus and the international boundary.
Martinez said the victim reported that his horse would not cooperate for the thieves, so the men forced him at gunpoint to lead the horse while they rode approximately two miles north to a fence, where the men dismounted, hopped the fence, and fled.
The victim also said he was hit by one of the men during the incident.
Martinez said officials were unsuccessful in locating the two men.
