On Wednesday, Apr, 19, 2023, at about 5:32 p.m. Bayard Police Department officers were dispatched to Our Lady of Fatima property regarding five subjects reported trespassing. According to a BPD incident report, officers made contact with the subjects, one of which was very uncooperative, refusing to identify himself and fleeing on foot. Officers pursued the fleeing male to 1100 Tom Foy Blvd. where the male resisted arrest by pulling away and taking a fighting stance.
At this point, the 15-year-old male was tased, taken into custody, and charged with resisting, evading, or obstructing an officer, criminal trespass, concealing identity, and assault upon a peace officer. A juvenile probation officer was contacted who did not approve a hold, the report said.

Black smoke billowing into the sky southeast of town on Thursday, Apr. 27, 2023, caused some Grant County residents concern about a possible evacuation, according the Silver City Fire Department Chief Milo Lambert. However, Lambert told the Beat that it was only a one-quarter acre grass fire that had reached a big pile of large tractor tires on Glen Ranch Road near the Grant County Detention Center. Lambert said, "It looked terrible."
Lambert stated the fire started while a rancher was clearing weeds, but there was no recklessness or intent to ignite involved. In fact, the rancher helped control the fire and brought drinking water out for the approximately 36 firefighters fighting the blaze. Those firefighters came from SCFD, and the Tyrone, Whiskey Creek, Pinos Altos, and Fort Bayard volunteer fire departments. Any department with a water tender was asked to roll, Lambert said, as the burning tires were difficult to extinguish and no water was available on scene.
