Red River residents still reeling from a shootout between motorcycle gangs during the Red River Motorcycle Rally last weekend took aim at the Taos County sheriff and his agency during the first public meeting since the shooting.
Locals vented frustration at Sheriff Steve Miera and Undersheriff Jerry Hogrefe for refusing to send deputies to Red River prior to the shooting to create a stronger law enforcement of the town during the rally, and for the decision to lock down Red River for hours after the shooting, which stranded some guests and permanent residents from their homes or children.
Red River Marshal James Johnson, while responding to questions from a local resident during the meeting, said the sheriff’s office asked the town to pay for any deputies to patrol Red River during the rally, though deputies did respond after the shooting.

One response to “Red River residents still reeling from a shootout between motorcycle gangs during the Red River Motorcycle Rally”
It is a shame that the town is not having the rally after 14 years. They don’t close down a store because of a couple of people. Keep it going.
