San Juan County, NM- On Wednesday, March 11, 2026, the New Mexico State Police Uniform Bureau partnered with the New Mexico Corrections Department's Probation and Parole Division's Security Threat Intelligence Unit (STIU) to conduct a coordinated crime reduction operation in San Juan County focused on locating and apprehending individuals who had absconded from probation and had active arrest warrants.
During the targeted enforcement effort, officers and agents worked together to locate individuals who had failed to comply with the terms of their probation and were actively avoiding supervision. The operation resulted in the arrest of seven individuals. Of those taken into custody, five were identified as probation absconders who were wanted on felony charges.
These types of coordinated operations are aimed at holding offenders accountable, reducing repeat criminal activity, and enhancing the safety of the communities. Individuals who abscond from probation often continue engaging in criminal behavior while evading supervision, making their apprehension a priority for law enforcement.
The following individuals arrested during the operation were booked into the San Juan County Detention Center and will face the appropriate charges related to their warrants and probation violations:
Quentine Beyale: Possession of a controlled substance
Dervin Chackee: Possession of a controlled substance, resisting, evading, obstructing
Jason Wallace: Possession of a controlled substance
Michelle Hardy: Possession of a controlled substance
Dylan Hall: Possession of a controlled substance, shoplifting
The New Mexico State Police and New Mexico Probation and Parole remain committed to working collaboratively to ensure offenders are held accountable and to protect the safety and wellbeing of New Mexico communities.
