This Event Happened in Costilla Co. San Luis, Co.
199.3.18.13

When the residents of Costilla County located in the San Luis Valley in Colo. elected a new sheriff they thought that they would be safe, but when the new Sheriff came in along with his Undersheriff all hell broke loose. you see there was a sudden increase in dui arrests everybody in the county was getting a ticket of some sort by these new officers and some people were getting beat by the officers for no reason at all there were guns being pulled on people these are people that have lived here in costilla county all their life elderly and young alike. yet it seems that the residents of the north end of the county for example fort garland where the sheriff lives and has friends you will rarely see a cop car there and they are not parked watching the stop signs to see if they run them or not or checking to see what other types of tickets they can issue. well it appears that now there is a recall out on the sheriff and i think that the residents of costilla county will prevail with the ousting of the sheriff and all of his deputys and there will be diginity again in costilla county for some reason the undersheriff was fired from the state patrol in colo. and then there was some sort of allegations of brutality from the cocas in the trindad area from this same person but yet costilla county continues to employ him 2 deputys involved in a questionable shooting in conejos county and then were hired at costilla county when will all this end soon i hope with a new sheriffs dept. and 1 deputy who was fired from alamosa pd for showing up drunk to work but was hired in costilla county. 1 officer who was fired also from the blanca pd and was hired by the previous administration and the sheriff continues to employ him and another deputy that works as a security guard in his off time and works for the sheriffs dept. which alot of the locals dont like. there is alot of favortism going on also.
