Deadly force
State District Judge Kevin Sweazea ordered former New Mexico Park Ranger Clyde Woods to wear an electronic ankle monitoring bracelet for a year before serving probation. Woods pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in the death of Bruce Teschner, 58. Teschner - who according to testimony was drunk and had a history of mental illness - refused to pay a $14-a-night camping fee and refused to leave the park. Woods said he acted in self-defense. He said Teschner turned and made a motion as if he were pulling a weapon. Witnesses said Teschner was running away when he was shot and killed.
This record exists so that Bruce Edward Teschner, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
