In one corner, 78-year-old Gallup Mayor Harry Mendoza, in the other corner, 59- year-old Gallup newspaper publisher, Bob Zollinger. Pinnacle Bank officials provided the surveillance video recorded in their parking lot Wednesday morning which showed the two squaring off. Police questioned both men who had different versions of what happened. Police say the Mayor told them the publisher began to poke at the pacemaker in his chest, at which time he felt fear and hit the publisher in the face. But Zollinger told the police that he had just exchanged some words with the mayor, when the mayor hauled off and hit him. The fight may have started from discussions about an alleged rape. The Gallup City Attorney tells us The Independent has published a number of stories of the mayor being accused in a rape back in the 1940's. The mayor was never tried in the case, nor convicted. Police say the mayor told them Zollinger started poking him in the chest when he approached and told the mayor he found the alleged rape victim. Police will look at the surveillance tape and are talking to witnesses. They will then forward the case to the District Attorney’s Office which will decide whether to file charges. The mayor wasn’t available for comment, while Zollinger declined to comment for this story. [www.clipsyndicate.com | KOB Albuquerque]
