Treasurer Behind Bars for Hit-Run | El Paso News

Published 2 months, 1 week ago
Description

Former New Mexico GOP treasurer Kimberly Skaggs remains jailed after a judge denied her release pending trial, citing risks to public safety amid serious charges tied to a fatal hit-and-run. The crash killed 40-year-old Andrew Brown, and Skaggs surrendered voluntarily after a warrant was issued. Prosecutors allege she swapped the vehicle’s license plate — from a “U.S. Support Our Troops” tag to a new one — to conceal her identity, a move that raises eyebrows given her business, “50 State DMV.” Despite her lawyer’s plea for GPS monitoring and travel restrictions, Judge Conrad Perea ruled she poses too great a danger to be freed. The case underscores how swiftly personal actions can spiral into legal consequences.
