ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Eastern New Mexico University's head rodeo coach, Albert Flinn, is facing embezzlement and animal cruelty charges. Flinn is accused of keeping school property at his house, selling the program's used scrap metal and pocketing the money, and improperly caring for ENMU's calves and goats. Flinn was hired as ENMU's head rodeo coach in 2008. According to the university, he was recently placed on administrative leave due to the investigation. The 24-page affidavit for issuance of criminal summons details the allegations made against the head rodeo coach. In the search and seizure of Flinn's residence, officials located an arena drag, two calf chutes, a large spool of wire, a light tower, pieces of angle iron, 23 metal halide lights, a ladder, and other miscellaneous equipment that belonged to the university.

He explained that he had taken other pieces of school property to be stored at his residence because the school had "limited" storage available. According to the testimonies from ENMU personnel in the affidavit, the rodeo animals under Flinn's care were not being attended to properly. The affidavit includes accusations of improper medical care, lack of water, and poor feed ratios for the school's calves and goats. According to ENMU personnel, three goats died under Flinn's care and were disposed of in school dumpsters. Dozens of calves also reportedly died last fall under Flinn's lead and were eventually buried on school grounds. Flinn is now facing three embezzlement charges. One of the charges is for embezzlement totaling between $2,500 and $20,000; the other two counts are fourth-degree felonies for embezzlement between $500 and $2,500. Flinn has also been accused of the misdemeanor charge of cruelty to animals. The head rodeo coach is set to make his first appearance in court on November 22.
