Man exposes genitals in popular 7-Eleven store
A 7-Eleven clerk’s generosity of giving a homeless man a free hotdog was rewarded with an unwarranted look at the man’s genitals after he exposed himself inside the popular convenience store just north of campus.
According to the UNM Police Department report, Anthony Bogner, 25, entered the 7-Eleven at 1800 Lomas Blvd. NE and the clerk assumed he was homeless and offered him the free hotdog.
The clerk told police that while Bogner was eating the hotdog, he unzipped his pants and started masturbating.
Police were called to the store and found Bogner walking along Lomas a few blocks away and he reportedly admitted to them that he had masturbated inside the store.
Police arrested Bogner for indecent exposure, a misdemeanor, and booked him into the Bernalillo County Detention Center.

Chavez ruling appealed to state district court
ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — A community activist has filed a court appeal asking a state district judge to review a reprimand given to Albuquerque Mayor Martin Chavez by the city’s ethics board.
Andres Valdez, an Albuquerque resident and the executive director of New Mexico Vecinos United, said the city Ethics and Campaign Practices Committee did not act in the best interest of the people of the city.
In February, the board sent a letter of reprimand to the mayor for violating the city charter by accepting gifts from people doing business with the city, by failing to report some campaign contributions and by exceeding contribution limits.
Rio Grande joins nation’s endangered list
ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — The Rio Grande was named Thursday as one of the nation’s most endangered rivers by American Rivers, a national conservation group.
The nearly 2,000-mile-long waterway, which cuts through the middle of New Mexico on its way from Colorado to the Gulf of Mexico, was listed as the fifth-most endangered river in the nation. It was the fourth time the river made the list since 1995.
American Rivers said it singled out the Rio Grande because of the prospect of Albuquerque and Brownsville, Texas, taking water from it and the determination of federal dam operators to deliver irrigation water despite drying up stretches of the river each year.
