Albuquerque Pays Nearly $1 Million to a Man Who Was Critically Injured When Its Police Chief Ran a Red Light

Albuquerque, New Mexico, recently paid $950,000 to settle a lawsuit by a man who was critically injured in February 2024 when Harold Medina, then the city's police chief, ran a red light and T-boned his car. Medina, who was avowedly oblivious to a pervasive, long-running police bribery scheme that became the biggest law enforcement scandal in New Mexico's history, likewise did not seem aware of Todd Perchert, then 55, who was driving his 1966 Mustang to a classic-car meetup on a Saturday morning when Medina violently interrupted his plans.

His days on oil rigs are done. Spence Nowinsky strikes it rich with New Mexico football

Before Spence Nowinsky built college football ’s stingiest defense, he was running through airports, inspecting storage tanks and checking gas dispensers for leaks. Football had spit him out. After a coaching change at Idaho left Nowinsky without a job, the former Minnesota State defensive lineman took work with a compliance company servicing the oil industry. The money was good. The football prospects weren’t. Then came a chance to get back in. “I think I took a $150,000 haircut to go coach football again.” CFB Unfiltered: What the CFP rankings got wrong about Indiana, Miami More than two decades later, that decision looks like one hell of an investment. Nowinsky is the architect of a New Mexico defense allowing a meager 10.89 points per game, the backbone of one of college football’s most improbable transformations under Jason Eck. The Lobos have won 17 of Eck’s first 22 games, including 14 of their past 16, and cracked the US LBM Coaches and AP polls for the first time in school history. Getting from the oil industry to Albuquerque, though, requires more than an atlas. The story traces almost 1,200 miles northeast, far closer to International Falls than New Mexico, to Mankato, Minnesota.
