Rio Arriba Sheriff accused of trying to intimidate witnesses who took stand against him

Created: June 29, 2021 04:56 PM ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- Embattled Sheriff James Lujan of Rio Arriba County is accused of trying to intimidate witnesses who testified against him in his criminal trial earlier this month. Sheriff Lujan is at the center of controversy again after prosecutors learned of an alleged scheme to arrest two witnesses who took the stand against the sheriff earlier this month. The trial ended in a mistrial after the jury could not agree on a verdict.  “What’s problematic to me is the fact that here we have the elected sheriff – the defendant in the case – and he’s still using his power to try to influence his own trial,” said special prosecutor Andrea Reeb.
