A Hernandez man has been ordered to appear in court, or via phone, for a summons charging him with robbery and aggravated battery causing great bodily harm for an alleged attack on his father’s girlfriend.
Rio Arriba County Sheriff’s Deputy Marcus Martinez issued the summons for Narcisco Romero, 31, following the alleged attack on May 2. He filed the case on May 6.
In a criminal complaint, Martinez wrote he was sent to a house in La Mesilla where he talked to a woman, who was “in emotional distress, crying, with an apparent injury to her neck.”
Martinez wrote he could see abrasions on the left side of her neck. She told Martinez that her boyfriend’s son, Romero, threw her to the floor and choked her with his hands following an argument over “family issues.”
“Mr. Romero was established as a resident of the home with (woman’s) son,” Martinez wrote. “(Woman) stated that she thought Mr. Romero was going to kill her.”
After he stopped choking her, Romero grabbed her purse and left the house, Martinez wrote. Deputies tried to find him but couldn’t.
A separate summons, also for June 9, was issued to Romero, on a charge of residential burglary following an incident on April 23, New Mexico State Police Officer Edward Archie wrote in a criminal complaint.
Romero’s mother told officers that she watched her son, on surveillance footage, pry open the door to her house and walk out with a laptop. He doesn’t live with her as he as an “ongoing issue with addiction,” Archie wrote.
Archie went to his house in Española twice and the second time, he convinced Romero to give him the laptop, bag and charger and he allegedly said he took it but that his mother gave it to him and claimed that her house is his second residence and that he knows where the extra key is, Archie wrote.
