SANTA FE, N.M. (KRQE) – An alleged thief put up quite a fight to avoid going to jail.

Santa Fe Police say it started when Jude Solis tried to take the purse of a woman sitting in the Starbucks at Cerrillos and Zafarano.

Police say the woman chased Solis and fought back even though he told her he had a knife.

According to police reports, Solis then slashed the arm of a good samaritan trying to help, then ran to a nearby car wash were he carjacked a car and nearly ran over an off-duty Espanola police officer.

It eventually ended with a brief chase and Solis crashing the car. He told police he hadn’t slept in days and was “not a bad guy.”

You don’t realize what you use it for," said Tamika Parrish, a Grand Rapids native now living out of state. "Like with the kids, it’s a safety thing, too. I can’t tell if something is burning. Things that you don’t even think about I think about constantly, every day now.”

If you received unemployment benefits you could owe taxes

EDINBURG, Texas (KVEO) — Tax season is just around the corner and for those who received unemployment benefits, you could be in for a big surprise. Those checks are taxable, so how much could you owe?

In a recent survey by Jackson Hewitt, 39 percent didn't know unemployment checks are taxable income – unlike the COVID stimulus checks issued in 2020 as part of the CARES Act.
