MESILLA – A Mesilla marshal is being praised for going “above and beyond” to help return a $1,200 tricycle to a special-needs student, even lending a helping hand on the same day he responded to the fatal shooting involving an officer on Interstate 10.
The Holguin family says Sgt. Benjamin “Buckaroo” Azcarate came to their rescue after the disappearance of the trike, made especially for 14-year-old Grace.
The trike is red and white with a bucket seat. On the back of the trike, there’s a white basket for her to carry her treasures in – and a license plate bearing her name.
