ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (Reuters) - The president of Albuquerque's police union has been arrested on charges of abusing her teenage daughter, a local sheriff's spokesman said on Friday.

Stephanie Lopez, 40, was taken into custody on Thursday on one count each of child abuse and bribery, retaliation and intimidation of a witness, stemming from the incident involving her 14-year-old daughter, said Bernalillo County Sheriff's spokesman Sergeant Aaron Williamson.

The arrest came a day after the sheriff's department opened an investigation into allegations that Lopez repeatedly hit her daughter in the face and pulled her hair before throwing her to the floor, according to the criminal complaint.

Lopez's daughter told investigators her mother became enraged when she did not tell her about a notice posted on the front door of their residence warning that the family's utilities were to be shut off.

When my parents lived there in the 1970s, there was huge hostility between the Albuquerque Police and Bernalillo County Sheriff. The "investigation" could be a vendetta.

I'm just pointing out that relying on one source of information in a situation such as this can be misleading. From what I remember of the city police department, it was populated by numerous low-life type persons who were just as shady as the criminals they pursued. That was over 30 years ago, so it may be outdated information.
