Albuquerque’s police chief, Harold Medina, crashed into Todd Perchert’s classic Mustang while allegedly fleeing gunfire on East Central. Perchert suffered severe injuries including a broken collarbone, shoulder, eight ribs, and a collapsed lung, requiring a week in the hospital with painkillers and surgery. Medina claimed he was responding to gunfire near a homeless encampment. Perchert’s lawsuit seeks accountability, not just compensation, criticizing Mayor Tim Keller’s initial support of Medina. Perchert and his wife feel the city neglected his wellbeing.
