Albuquerque Local Pulse: Child Sex Abuse Charges, Gateway Center Milestone, and MLK Day Events
Published 3 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Thursday, January 15th. We start with breaking news from our courts. Emmy-winning actor Timothy Busfield, known from The West Wing, remains held without bond after turning himself in Tuesday on charges of child sex abuse. Albuquerque police say the alleged incidents happened on the set of The Cleaning Lady, filmed right here in our city. Prosecutors cite a pattern of misconduct and worry about risks to the community as a detention hearing looms soon. We report this factually to keep our listeners informed and safe.
Shifting to positive city hall updates, the Gateway Center on Gibson Boulevard hit a milestone Tuesday, reaching full capacity for the first time since its expansion. Mayor Tim Keller announced it now houses 192 residents, split evenly between men and women, all committing to counseling and behavioral support on their path to stable housing. This shows our homelessness efforts are working, with folks choosing long-term help over the streets. Call 505-651-5515 if you or someone you know needs shelter transport.
In other public safety news from the past day, a repeat offender from a November APD officer-involved shooting, identified as Laska, was booked into Metro Detention Center on felony charges like aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. APD urges vigilance around Central Avenue areas.
Weather today brings chilly temps in the low 40s with light winds, perfect for indoor events but bundle up if heading to the BioPark. Expect partly cloudy skies through evening, no major impacts.
New business buzz includes the upcoming Gateway Young Adult center this spring for 18-to-25-year-olds, boosting youth support near downtown. Job market stays steady with about 15,000 openings citywide, many in health and tech per recent listings. Real estate sees median home prices around 320,000 dollars, up slightly near Northeast Heights.
Mark your calendars for this weekends MLK Day march from Robinson Park and a UNM Lobos basketball game Saturday at The Pit. Local schools shine with Albuquerque Highs debate team taking state honors.
For a feel-good story, volunteers at the Gateway Center shared how one resident just landed his first job in two years, proving small steps lead home.
