December 18, 2009
The Department of Public Safety says 28-year-old Chris Marano died Thursday night.
Lt. Steve Harrison says the chase reached speeds of 100 mph, starting after a vehicle was spotted with a stolen license plate.
As another officer pursued the suspect, Marano laid down spike strips to stop the suspect’s vehicle. The DPS vehicle struck Marano in the roadway. Authorities are trying to determine if the suspect’s car also hit him.
The chase continued and the female driver fled on foot and was captured hiding on a porch. She was taken to a hospital for treatment of dog bites and faces several felony charges.

Rest in Peace Brother! They should charge the perp with Murder. Trooper Marano would be alive today had it not been for her actions.

May God bless this fine officer's family and friends in this time of grief. Pursuits are dangerous for all involved. I place the blame squarely on the shoulders of the suspect who ran from our brothers.
Sympathy from you brothers and sisters in New Mexico law enforcement.
