ROSWELL -- Dozens of animals said to belong to murder suspect Juan David Villegas-Hernandez, whose extradition to the U.S. has reportedly been complicated by his nationality, have been impounded by the New Mexico Livestock Board for alleged abandonment and non-care.
A June 29 hearing at 8:30 a.m. is scheduled on the matter in Chaves County magistrate court in Roswell.
The Livestock Board is seeking permission from the court to allow the sale of the animals within 10 days of a judge’s order, requesting that Villegas-Hernandez and his representatives be barred from making a bid.
The Livestock Board is also asking that the proceeds from any sale be used to offset the costs of impoundment and care. It recommends that any excess proceeds be given to Villegas-Hernandez or any costs not covered by the sales be paid by Villegas-Hernandez. The Livestock Board also requests that a separate hearing be held within 30 days to determine if the livestock was cruelly treated.
