DUI Stop Finds Alleged Child Rapist With Six Kids In Truck

I criticize the police a lot.  So I also want to take a moment to speak up when they totally nail it, like in this situation.

This man was pulled over because of his erratic driving.

When Bert Lopez, another New Mexico state trooper, was caught having sex on the job, I remember not being able to get people to take that seriously, what a major issue that was for so many reasons.  That's probably why he was rehired by another department.  They're not worried about him out Holtzclawing in their part of New Mexico apparently.  They made him a detective!

But the easiest issue to understand:  while Bert Lopez was servicing his own sexual needs, he wasn't out there pulling over apparent drunk drivers.  This amazing guy was doing Bert's share of the workload -- and then some.  This was a truly amazing catch.

When pulled out of the vehicle, Jeremy Guthrie, 41, appeared highly intoxicated.  In the shotgun seat of his truck was a 12-year-old girl with whom he allegedly had an ongoing sexual relationship, as well as her sister.  One of them had a miscarriage allegedly by him. 

There were a total of six kids ranging in age from 12 to 14 in Guthrie's vehicle during this stop, as well as two open bottles of hard liquor.  When asked, he claimed they were his "friends" and that they were 18.

Guthrie is currently said to be texting one of the girls from jail via a guard's cell phone.

So kudos to this one state trooper, for not being a Bert Lopez, for getting out there and not tolerating the nonsense of someone like Jeremy Guthrie.  He got those six kids out of harm's way for real, God bless.
