ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - A former Clovis police officer wants charges against him from a fatal crash dismissed.

Stephen Gallegos' lawyer claims District Attorney Matt chandler interfered with the grand jury that indicted his client.

Gallegos is charged with vehicular homicide for allegedly running a stop sign in his police car and crashing into a truck killing a passenger.
