My question involves criminal law for the state of: New Mexico
In 2004, I was at a local bar where I had gotten very intoxicated. I had walked next door at a circle K to buy a pack of cigarettes. I was stopped by a city police officer. I don't really remember much of the details except being questioned and lying on the ground covered in Pepper Spray. The next day, I awoke in the hospital not knowing where I was, still covered in pepper spray and with bruises from my ankles to my knees. I was in shock, I didn't know what had happened. No one had known what had happened to me in the hospital, except on my hospital papers it said I had been assaulted.
Five years later, I was pulled over and was issued a citation. I went to court, agreed to pay a fine. While paying my fine I was told I had a warrant for my arrest, I had no knowledge of it, for Criminal Trespass statute 30-14-A1, Resist/evade/obstruct officer statute 30-22-1 and Failure to appear in court statute RCP 12-A. I bonded out, and have a court date set in less than 2 weeks. I later found out the officer is no longer active. What can happen? I have never been in trouble before.![]()
