Police identified the sus- pects arrested Tuesday on felony warrants as 39-year-old Shawn Torrez, 52-year-old Anthony Cordova and 42- year-old Christina Torrez. It was not clear whether they have attorneys who could comment on the allegations. Police say Cordova and Christina Torrez were taken into custody right after police arrived at a home in search of the three but that Shawn Torrez retreated inside and refused to surrender until police used gas to force him out. Police say Shawn Torrez shot and damaged a police robot sent to the residence’s front door and also fired shots toward officers but that nobody was injured.

New salaries, benefits and incentive pay were approved Tuesday at the annual share- holders meeting for PNM Resources. The Albuquerque Journal reports that the combined com- pensation is down from about $10 million in 2015 but up from nearly $7.5 million in 2014. PNM spokesman Pahl Shipley says ratepayers are responsible for just a small per- cent of the executives’base pay. Shareholders pay for all of the incentive-based compensation.
