Silver City business in shambles due to drunken destruction
By Roger Lanse
The Allstate Insurance building near the intersection of Hudson Street and College Avenue suffered considerable damage during the early morning hours of Saturday, Jan. 2, according to a Silver City Police Department incident report. The report said, after being dispatched to the Allstate building SCPD officers noticed Jacob Morales, intoxicated, walking in the area and he was placed in investigative detention.
Surveillance video from inside the building, the report stated, shows Morales, 18, of Arenas Valley, entering and leaving the building several times, apparently through a broken northwest office window. Morales was also seen on the video eating snacks from the break room and attempting to turn off the alarm at the alarm pad next to the front door.
