ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - Protesters took to the streets of New Mexico again this weekend as the numbers turning out for Occupy Wall Street rallies continue to grow.

Protesters marched in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Taos, and Las Cruces against what they call "corporate greed".

Albuquerque protests went much smoother than the previous weekend when dozens ambushed local banks and businesses with one man arrested for spitting on people.

Police were watching closely to make sure things didn't get out of hand this time.

One person was cited for blocking traffic and refusing to obey police, and an Albuquerque police department spokesperson said two others received warning citations for jaywalking.
