Former Rio Arriba County Sheriff James Lujan, aged 60, was sentenced to three years in prison followed by one and a half years of probation after being convicted of two felony charges: aiding a felon and intimidating a witness. Lujan was found guilty of helping a former Española City Councilor evade police after a high-speed chase in 2017 and directing a deputy to conceal his actions. This conviction followed a retrial after an initial jury failed to reach a verdict. Lujan resigned from his position shortly after the conviction.
