[Editor's Note: Although this author didn't get to interview him on his birthday, she interviewed him a few days later. The veteran's son, Allan, called from Tennessee to let the Beat know about his father turning 98. He got the phone number from the Silver City clerk. Thank you, Alfred Sedillo.]
William Glenn Von Hoff is a recent resident of Silver City who celebrated his birthday on March 19.

Friday, Mar. 15, 2024, at approximately 10:22 p.m., Bayard Police Department officers were dispatched to 225 Erie Street in Bayard in reference to a 55-year-old male caller advising his roommate was threatening to cut his head off with a knife. Arriving at the residence, officers knocked on the door and made contact with a male, later identified as Christopher Sturdevant, 56, who aggressively swung the door open and began cursing at the officers.
According to a BPD incident report, the suspect refused to identify himself saying the victim had told him "to get the f*** out." The suspect continued to refuse to identify himself, and after officers gained entry into the residence, he ran up the stairs, despite being given multiple commands to stop and walk toward the officers. Unable to see if the suspect was clear of any weapons, a taser was deployed, the prongs striking the suspect's left arm and thigh. At that point, the suspect was handcuffed and identified. Sturdevant was placed under arrest, charged with resisting, evading, or obstructing an officer and concealing identity.
