A former police officer is in trouble after robbing a restaurant with an accomplice who had a gun.
Police said that Valerie Palombi, 24, of New Mexico, entered a Subway with her accomplice.
Keven T. Blake, 24, held workers at gunpoint while the former police officer stole money from the cash register.
Palombi served as a police officer with the Roswell Police Department
(RPD) for two years. She was fired from her job back in January, after a
confrontation with officers, during which she fired shots out of her
home.
She is currently serving a sentence of probation for negligent use of a deadly weapon.
Palombi was arrested again along with Blake, 24, for armed robbery.
Both were booked into the Chaves County Detention Center on cash only bond of $25,000.
According to police, Blake is the brother-in-law of a RPD detective.
