ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A man was arrested back on March 31 after attacking someone in northeast Albuquerque. It was only the beginning. The man was aggressive the entire time, even attacking an officer multiple times.
It was Davon Butler's early morning arrest late last month that ended u

After taking him to APD's identification lab, Butler refused to listen. Once police found out his name and criminal history, including six arrests in New Mexico since 2022, Butler was taken to APD's prisoner transport center, where his aggression continued.
