Gallup police report a bizarre set of circumstances following a recent emergency call to the home of Roman Catholic Bishop Donald Pelotte.
The most recent event happened Thursday when Gallup police reported receiving an emergency call from Bishop Pelotte.
According to a 911 dispatch log, Pelotte told operators "...gentle little people, about 3 to 4 feet tall, and wearing Halloween masks were in the hall while Pelotte hid in a closet."

Gallup's lifeblood is supplying alcohol to the Navajos (the Navajo Nation is a dry reservation, so the border towns have a booming business supplying alcohol). The last mayor tried to clean it up, but he left and the new mayor is "old school." Expect the alcohol and street crime problem to get worse, not better. Public drunkeness is not against the law, and it's depressingly common to see public urination, vomiting and bloodshed in the area around 2nd and Coal...the heart of downtown. When the drunks are picked up, if they are Navajo, they are taken to a facility called NCI where they are treated for alcohol dependency, kept for a few days, then released. There will be 30 or 40 people taken in each day, but because it's a civil commitment and not a crime, it isn't reflected in crime statistics.
