City told to pay anonymous extortionist by Friday ... or else!

 

The Las Cruces Sun-News reports today on its Web site that, after discussions with city police, it has decided to reveal the deadline set by an anonymous extortionist for city officials to pay a large sum of money or face random shootings of its residents.

 

That deadline is Friday, the Sun-News reports.

 

The Sun-News, which received a letter with the extortion demand last Friday -- the day city officials got a copy of the same letter, said it decided to publish the date of the deadline after meeting Tuesday with police officials.

 

"They weren't happy with our decision, but it was made after serious, careful consideration," said Sun-News Editor Jim Lawitz. "We believe the public's right to know outweighs the potential that releasing the information could hamper law enforcement's investigation."

 

The city held a news conference on Tuesday announcing a $25,000 reward, along with a $1,000 reward offered by Crime Stoppers, for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of the would-be extortionists, according to a story in this morning's Albuquerque Journal.

 

Police released a heavily-redacted copy of the letter, written in a stylized script, demanding a significant payoff or city residents would be shot at random, according to the Journal report.

 

But blacked out of the letter were the amount of money demanded and the deadline date.

 

According to today's Sun-News report, Las Cruces police Lt. Randy Lara said police would be fully mobilized to provide security up to and after the then-undisclosed deadline and that there would be heightened security in the days ahead.

 

The significance of this coming Friday, the Sun-News suggested, is that it marks the start of the Whole Enchilada Fiesta, one of the city's biggest yearly events, where an estimated 50,000 people are expected to attend the three-day festival.

 

"We are taking the necessary precautions at the fiesta," Lara told the Sun-News. "We are enhancing security at the event."

 

And festival board president Quent Pirtie told the paper, "I think that's probably going to be the safest place to be in town over the weekend."

 

Lt. Rick Englada, spokesman for the New Mexico State Police, also told the Sun-News that his agency is assisting local police in following up leads and helping out with manpower and security.
