Ex-UFC fighter Diego Sanchez strikes plea deal in New Mexico gun case

Former UFC fighter Diego Sanchez reached a plea agreement in New Mexico after a July arrest on multiple gun charges, pleading guilty to shooting at or from a motor vehicle (a fourth‑degree felony) with a second negligent‑use charge dismissed. Sentencing is set for April 6, with prosecutors limited to up to two years in prison and the rest on supervised probation under the deal, though the judge will decide the final term; the case stems from Sanchez allegedly firing a shot from a car window near a crash (he denies firing, a driver says he did). His representative cited ongoing substance‑abuse rehab, and Sanchez’s combat sports career includes a 2020 UFC appearance and a 2023 BKFC bout.

New Mexico reopens Epstein's Zorro Ranch probe after FBI files surface

New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez has revived the probe into alleged illegal activity at Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch after reviewing information from recently released FBI files. The 2019 closure was reconsidered, and state investigators will seek access to the full unredacted federal file and coordinate with other law enforcement as well as a new state truth commission to examine potential sexual abuse, sex trafficking, and possible public-official corruption. The ranch was sold in 2023 to Don Huffines' family and renamed San Rafael Ranch.

NM House Advances Universal Child Care, Sends SB241 to Senate for Final OK

The New Mexico House passed SB 241, a universal child-care program aimed at serving about 60,000 children, with copays for higher-earning families under certain conditions. The plan would tap up to $700 million from the Early Childhood Education and Care Trust Fund over five years and include wage requirements for providers and referrals for at-risk children. The bill moves back to the Senate for any House changes before Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham can sign it; the governor expressed optimism it will reach her before adjournment.

The Huffines family, led by Texas comptroller hopeful and self-described Trump Republican Donald Huffines, bought Jeffrey Epstein’s New Mexico ranch (the Zorro/San Rafael Ranch) at a public auction, with proceeds reportedly benefiting Epstein’s victims. The LLC San Rafael Ranch LLC, associated with the Huffines, was listed as owner and Mary Catherine Huffines linked to the property.

New Mexico Grand Jury Indicts Timothy Busfield on Four Counts of Criminal Sexual Contact

A New Mexico grand jury indicted actor Timothy Busfield on four counts of criminal sexual contact of a child, related to alleged on-set abuse of two boys during the filming of The Cleaning Lady between 2022 and 2024. Busfield, who was previously arrested on related charges, is presumed innocent and the case will proceed in court, with prosecutors handled by the special victims unit. His lawyers say the indictment is unsound and part of a revenge plot by the boys’ parents; Busfield was released on his own recognizance after a prior detention hearing, and an independent Warner Bros. probe found no corroboration of the abuse allegations.

Busfield denies the wrongdoing, his attorney arguing there’s no evidence and suggesting revenge by the boys’ mother; multiple outlets (Globe/People/NBC News) are reporting the developments.
