NM has a lot of small towns (and even some small-town papers!) where the “Luiz is back in front of the magistrate for ____ again, dear” is pretty common breakfast conversation. It doesn’t take a lot of people to have one who’s a chronic problem.

Brought my ticket to the window and collected my win
And then I broke into my new car with a wire coat hanger
