Frost McGahey, Investigative Journalist
On March 20, 2020, Paul Collins was speeding down Hwy. 180 when he was stopped by a Silver City Police Officer. He had been doing 90, but when the officer caught up to him, he was doing 42 in a 35-mph zone. During the stop, the officer found methamphetamine. Collins also had no insurance and no registration and was also charged with DWI.
Collins had been under surveillance for a month by a drug task force agent. The agent had been driving to Collins's home to investigate drug activity when he spotted Collins leaving and turned around to follow him to Hwy 180. As Collins was driving so fast, the agent couldn't keep up with him as he was in an unmarked car. He called Silver City Police to warn them that Collins was driving recklessly.

William Glenn Von Hoff, three days after his 98th birthdayBy Mary Alice Murphy
[Editor's Note: Although this author didn't get to interview him on his birthday, she interviewed him a few days later. The veteran's son, Allan, called from Tennessee to let the Beat know about his father turning 98. He got the phone number from the Silver City clerk. Thank you, Alfred Sedillo.]
William Glenn Von Hoff is a recent resident of Silver City who celebrated his birthday on March 19.
