ALBUQUERQUE POLICE OFFICERS ARE FLAGGED DOWN BY WHAT INITIALLY APPEARS TO BE A WOMAN IN A LEOPARD LEOTARD. HOWEVER, THEY QUICKLY DISCOVER THAT “SHE” IS ACTUALLY A “HE”, AND HE WAS APPARENTLY THE VICTIM OF A ROBBERY WHEN A WHITE MALE SUSPECT REACHED INTO THE CAB OF HIS SEMI-TRUCK AND STOLE HIS WALLET. COMPOUNDING MATTERS IS THE VICTIM’S CLAIM THAT WHEN HE CHASED THE SUSPECT A POLICE OFFICER PARKED NEARBY REFUSED TO OFFER ASSITANCE. THE VICTIM, WHO ALSO HAS EYE SHADOW AND PAINTED TOENAILS, IS IRATE AND UNCOOPERATIVE WITH THE OFFICERS. EVENTUALLY HE CALMS DOWN AND CHANGES CLOTHES. A SEARCH OF THE AREA TURNS UP HIS WALLET WITH EVERYTHING BUT A COUPLE OF CHECKS INTACT. THE VICTIM IS STILL ANGRY THAT THE POLICE OFFICER FAILED TO ASSIST HIM, BUT THE OTHER OFFICERS EXPLAIN THAT THE OFFICER HAD A SUSPECT IN CUSTODY AND HE WAS NOT ABLE TO LEAVE HIM UNATTENDED.
