2 former APD officers plead guilty in DWI scheme

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Two former Albuquerque police officers implicated in the federal DWI scheme investigation have copped a plea.

Joshua Montaño and Honorio Alba, Jr. admit they took bribes for many years to make sure some drunk driving cases in the metro got tossed out.

They claim they’re not even close to being the only law enforcement who should be held accountable.

At this point, three people have taken deals in the yearlong federal investigation. Prosecutors say be prepared for more soon.

There are a lot of disturbing ironies with the two officers. One was hurt in a DWI crash, and the other won an award from Mothers Against Drunk Driving for his work in the DWI unit.
