ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Police have arrested a suspect in a burglary at houses in northwest Albuquerque who has been arrested more than two dozen times on a variety of sex, fraud and burglary charges in New Mexico, Nevada and Washington state.
Police said Tuesday 30-year-old Morgan Fuller has been arrested in New Mexico six times since June 11. The the most recent was on Saturday on two counts each of burglary and larceny in connection with the theft of two electrical breakers removed from the two houses in Albuquerque.
Earlier this summer, he was arrested on battery, larceny, shoplifting charges in Bernalillo County, where he’s been booked into the county jail a total of 17 times, including for multiple probation violations. He has 27 total arrests in the three states.
A judge hasn’t yet set a hearing on the latest charges. It’s not clear if Fuller has a lawyer or will be appointed one.
Bernalillo County Sheriff Manuel Gonzales III said it’s a “prime of example of how continuing to release repeat offenders” will result in citizens being victimized “over and over once more.”
“It is no wonder why crime in Albuquerque is out of control,” he said in a statement Tuesday.
