THE SEARCH FOR AN ADMINISTRATOR AT THE METRO DETENTION CENTER IS STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN. IT WAS ANNOUNCED LAST MONTH THAT MICHAEL WATKINS OF SAN BENITO, TEXAS, HAD BEEN CHOSEN AS THE NEW JAIL BOSS, REPLACING THE RETIRING TOM SWISSTACK. BUT BERNALILLO COUNTY NOW SAYS WATKINS HAS WITHDRAWN HIS NAME.
NO REASON WAS GIVEN. COUNTY OFFICIALS WILL MEET OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS TO DISCUSS THE NEXT STEPS IN FILLING THE ADMINISTRATOR POSITION.
