Parking dispute ends with a punch
By Roger Lanse
On Monday, June 1, 2020, at about 7:56 p.m., Silver City Police Department officers were dispatched to 603 W. Spring Street in reference to a battery complaint.
According to a SCPD incident report, the victim, a 40-year-old female of the address, advised she has been parking in the same spot for three years and when she got home at about 4:30 p.m. she found another vehicle, later identified as a 2008 white Chevy Blazer, in her spot. The victim said she had to park in the street. She attempted to contact the owner of the vehicle, later identified as Desirre Dawn Hayes, 37, also of the address, by knocking on her door but there was no answer. The victim said she left her residence about 5:48 p.m. and when she returned home at about 7:50 p.m. the Blazer was still there. The victim then parked in front of the Blazer to keep it from being moved.

Grant County primary election 2020 changed by absentee ballots
Today, June 3, 2020, although it still says on the New Mexico Secretary of State website that Grant County's 39 precincts have not fully reported, the numbers have not appreciably, if at all, changed since the last report made just before 10 p.m. last night.
The number of absentee ballots being counted, as reported to the Beat by Robert Zamarripa of the Clerk's Office at just before 9 p.m., totaled about 4,000. The total in-person votes, whether early or on Election Day, depending on the race, showed around 2,000 votes total—a very different picture in several key races in the county in the first report posted at 8:45 p.m. http://www.grantcountybeat.com/news/news-articles/58253-grant-county-primary-results-as-of-8-45-p-m
