People From New Mexico Get So Melodramatic!

People from New Mexico get so melodramatic these days! Everybody who is anybody has a Cartel connection. Like some kind of inverse Santa Claus, the Cartel must be so busy traveling around the state, and slapping various Land of Enchantment nobodies around, they don't have time for anything else:

A recent trip by three Albuquerque strippers to the Pink Slipper Gentleman’s Club in Artesia ended in a kidnapping, police say.

Two of them – a mother-daughter stripping team – kidnapped the third stripper and kept her blindfolded in a closet for a night this week over a $1,700 alleged debt incurred during the trip, according to the Albuquerque Police Department.

...The mother-daughter pair then started hitting the victim, and Alida Alvillar told her they would kill her and her entire family using Alida Alvillar’s “cartel connection” if she didn’t give them the money, according to the complaint.
