A life-long Albuquerque police officer is facing federal charges after being indicted by a federal grand jury for warning someone about a drug investigation and for lying to FBI agents. Officer Brad Ahrensfield was put on leave three months ago, but the police department wouldn't say why. A Thursday indictment accuses Ahrensfield of obstructing an FBI drug investigation, but his attorney says the feds have it all wrong. The indictment says Ahrensfield knew about an FBI investigation involving an Albuquerque car dealership called Car Shop on 4th Street. The indictment says investigators were looking into "possible drug trafficking and stolen merchandise-related offenses" back in September. The indictment says Ahrensfield warned the dealership owner about the investigation, and then lied to FBI agents when confronted about the leak. Ahrensfield's attorney, Jason Bowles, says his client denies the allegations, adding the indictment comes as a complete surprise. Bowles says Ahrensfield has always told the truth to the FBI. Gilbert Montoya, a mechanic at Car Shop, was arrested off-site in September on drug charges. Sam Bregman represents Car Shop's owner, and stresses nothing illegal happened at the dealership, and that it's unfair for the dealership to be named in the indictment. Bregman said, "To the absolute contrary, Car Shop is a good business. It sells cars in the community it's a good community partner— and for anyone to imply otherwise is really wrong and unfortunate." Ahrensfield was once fired from the Albuquerque Police Department after being accused of using excessive force. He was then re-hired after being exonerated. As for his job status now, he remains on leave. APD Chief Ray Schultz says an internal affairs investigation will be completed, and that he will face punishment based on department rules. Those rules suggest that an officer can be fired as the result of an indictment. If convicted, Ahrensfield faces up to 20 years in prison. [www.clipsyndicate.com | KOB Albuquerque]
