Former Alamogordo detective charged with battery

ALAMOGORDO, N.M. (AP) — A former Alamogordo detective fired after video footage showed him attacking family members at a hospital is facing battery charges.

The Alamogordo Daily News reports prosecutors filed two counts of petty misdemeanor battery against Kyle D. Graham this week in connection with a fight at the Gerald Champion Regional Medical Center in September.

According to state records, New Mexico State Police review of video footage shows Graham pushed a woman to the ground and put another woman in a headlock.

Graham was later fired from the Alamogordo Police Department days later. He's appealing his firing.

Graham has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
