Santa Fe man killed in head-on collision

A Santa Fe man was killed after his vehicle crashed head-on into a sports utility vehicle on Zia Road near Camino Pintores in Santa Fe Tuesday morning.

Police have identified the man killed as 23-year-old Jorge Romero of Santa Fe.

Authorities say Romero crossed a median traveling westbound on Zia Rd. when his vehicle collided with an SUV traveling the opposite direction.

The two passengers in the SUV, both in their mid-forties, were transported to Christus St. Vincent hospital for non-life threatening injuries.

Police ask that anyone who witnessed the crash and has information contact Traffic Sergeant John Schearfl at (505) 955-5136.

Police catch 'ninja' burglar

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - Police say an anonymous tip led officers to a Los Alamos home where they caught a young man believed to be involved in a string of crimes in Santa Fe.

A Los Alamos police officer recognized 17-year-old Shalom Katz, the alleged "ninja" burglar, on Saturday afternoon.

Katz was arrested for concealing his identity, two days after he fled his Santa Fe home as officers were en route to arrest him.

Police say the teenage fugitive dressed as a ninja and used a hatchet to rob a jewelry store. They also suspect Katz in an auto burglary that took place six days after the jewelry heist.

Police had issued a warrant last week for his arrest on a burglary charge. Katz has a juvenile record that includes aggravated burglary and armed robbery.

Proposal aims to crack down on unruly parties

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - A city council member in Santa Fe has proposed a city law that could let the city bill people for the costs of police responses to unruly parties.

The proposed ordinance introduced last month by City Councilor Carmichael Dominguez is intended at quieting neighborhoods and reducing underage drinking.

The proposed costs would be leveled after officers are called out to a party more than once.

Then the homeowner, tenant or party organizer would get a citation and an invoice for the police response.

Police haven't yet developed a cost model for how it would issue the bills.

The city public safety committee is scheduled to consider the proposal next month.

Santa Fe votes no to fly-over training

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - A proposed low-level flight training route for Air Force pilots across northern New Mexico and southern Colorado received a decidedly negative reaction at a public meeting in Santa Fe on Thursday night.

Noise, cost and the possible impact on adobe buildings were among the concerns residents voiced to a cadre of Air Force officials.

The Air Force wants to fly C-130 Hercules and smaller CV-22 Osprey aircraft from Cannon Air Force Base through the mountains and valleys of the region.

The planes would avoid towns, airports and wilderness area but could fly as low as 200 feet.

Several rural residents said eliminating those zones would funnel the planes through their areas.

The Air Force is holding a series of public meetings as it gathers comments on its plan.
