LINK Former deputy accused of hoarding evidence from unsolved crimes in his home
LAS CRUCES, N.M. (Video from KVIA via CNN) —
A former sheriff’s deputy in southern New Mexico was arrested Thursday on tampering with evidence charges after detectives say a cleaning crew found boxes of guns and case files at his foreclosed home.
Former Doña Ana County sheriff’s deputy Vincent Lopez was taken into custody following an investigation that began in May when the crew stumbled upon bags of evidence, firearms, ammunition, and case files, the Las Cruces Sun-News reports.

What was his motivation? I could see embezzling cash, even guns. The motivation is greed. Why hoard evidence files and documents? Could he have been blackmailing people? Is he just nuts?
