El Paso Times - LAS CRUCES -- Sunland Park Mayor Pro Tem Daniel Salinas and City Manager Jaime Aguilera were arrested Saturday evening in an ongoing investigation into city government. Each faces identical charges -- conspiracy to commit extortion, tampering with evidence and conspiracy. They were jailed in lieu of posting $50,000 cash bonds.

The investigation continues, said District Attorney Amy Orlando. No further information on the arrests was available Saturday night. The arrests Saturday came after searches were conducted by New Mexico State Police and investigators for the district attorney's office on Friday at the home of Salinas and at his office at Sunland Park City Hall.
Salinas is one of three candidates for mayor. Early voting in that election has started. One of his opponents, Gerardo Hernandez, alleged last week that someone was attempting to blackmail him in an effort to get him to drop out of the race. Read full story here: News New Mexico
