47-year-old Bobby Charles Crawford of Alamogordo was charged with two felony counts of attempted murder, three counts of aggravated assault on a peace officer, aggravated fleeing, possession of a firearm by a felon, and shooting at or from a motor vehicle after a confrontation with New Mexico State Police and Las Cruces Police.
Investigators said that the day of the incident that at 11 a.m., officers started chasing Crawford after they discovered he had warrants for his arrest. The two agencies worked together, eventually stopping Crawford near Holman Road and Arroyo Road. Investigators say that Crawford shot at least one round at officers while barricading himself inside his car. Three Las Cruces Police Department officers shot back at Crawford. He was taken to University Medical Center where he discharged and arrested. None of the officers were injured.
In Las Cruces the jury found Bobby Charles Crawford, 47, guilty in the Doña Ana County District Court after his involvement in a pursuit through Las Cruces with an exchange of gunfire between police and an Alamogordo man in June 2023.
“We sincerely appreciate the Doña Ana County jury's hard work which found defendant Crawford guilty of the attempted murder of two Las Cruces Police officers and other associated violent crimes," District Attorney Gerald Byers said in a press release submitted to AlamogordoTownNews.com and KALHRadio.org that announced the conviction.
"Their verdict demonstrates Doña Ana County juries will assign accountability for proven criminal conduct. We also thank the court for presiding over a fair and efficient trial," the statement to KALHRadio.org continued.
Crawford was convicted of two counts of attempted first-degree murder, two counts of aggravated assault on a peace officer, aggravated fleeing a law enforcement officer, and shooting at or from a motor vehicle.
The jury deliberated for four hours. "At sentencing, my office will request the court impose the maximum sentence permitted by law, so that this dangerous convict will not pose a future threat to the public or public servants," the prosecution said in the release to KALHRadio.org.
He has a store in Alamogordo, but is based in Artesia. Kinda like calling Walmart a local business.
If you look up Peco's Valley Pizza, dba as Domino's Pizza you'll find he has had multiple lawsuits against him and his company, more than one of which were for unpaid wages, among other things.

Gotta love the new math.
Are we over reacting to these measles outbreaks?
From the headlines and stories you'd think measles were as deadly as Anthrax.
Before the 1970's, getting the measles was just part of growing up, and for the most part was treated with the same urgency as a cold or skinned knee.
"if we can prevent a disease, why not take those preventative measures?" well said.
in this day and age, anyone who imagines that there is any non-partisan election anywhere in this nation - from president to dog catcher - is living in a fairyland. as noted herein, disputes between city & county are exhibit #1 to show the concept is a sham.
I agree with the first part of Mr. Mitchell's statement, there's no such thing as a totally non-partisan elected official.
But I don't agree that disagreements between city & county are proof of concept.
for perhaps a better perspective - let's zoom in a little closer....can you tell me that there is never discord between the majority republican alamogordo city officials and the democratic controlled state government. more specifically, can you say that and keep a straight face?
May officer Ontiveros rest in peace.
If there's a ****, I hope the devil is enjoying a slow roasted bbq of Dennis Armenta, the scum bag who shot officer Ontiveros multiple times.
From the Durango Herald;
My sincere condolences to the family, friends, and coworkers of Officer Ontiveros.
as i stated a couple days ago - government by people who couldn't find their fanny with a flashlight and a mirror.
Removing the list from the website doesn't mean the list has been deleted.
I would think that counties and sheriff's offices alike would want the list to remain public.
