Charges Dismissed Against Former Warden

9/28/2012

Comments

 
(Deming) – Charges have been dismissed against a former Luna  County warden accused of approving inmate furloughs without judicial  authorization.

 Sixth Judicial District Court Judge Daniel Viramontes Thursday granted a  motion to dismiss all 14 misdemeanor charges filed in January on former warden  John Krehbiel.


Viramontes ruled that the furloughs in question were granted as part of  the county’s Recidivism Reduction Program – a program already in place before  Krehbiel was hired as warden.

Inmates were sentenced to the program by judges, and furloughs were  earned through good behavior and compliance with provisions such as attending  substance abuse prevention and anger management classes.

Viramontes found that the furloughs were not a violation of the state  statute governing release of prisoners, since the  furloughs technically extended  the boundaries of the jail and were not a release from  custody.

All 14 of the inmates in the questioned furlough cases returned to the  jail upon completion of their furloughs.

The 25-count motion for dismissal was filed in May, and heard by  Viramontes in August.
