A BAYARD CITY COUNCILOR SAYS HE PLANTS TO SUE THE CITY. ARMANDO ARZOLA WAS ARRESTED LAST MONTH AFTER GETTING INTO A FIGHT WITH HIS NEIGHBOR. HE'S ACCUSED OF ATTACKING THE NEIGHBOR WITH A BATON FOR SLEEPING ON HIS COUCH, THEN EATING LUNCH WHILE ARZOLA WAS AWAY.
ARZOLA SAYS POLICE TREATED HIM UNFAIRLY AND RUINED HIS CHANCES OF RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR OR THE U-S SENATE. HE CRITICIZES POLICE AND OTHER ELECTED OFFICIALS BUT IT'S NOT CLEAR WHY HE BLAMES THEM FOR HIS ARREST. ARZOLA FACES AGGRAVATED ASSAULT AND BATTERY CHARGES.
