Former Cop Gets Deferred Sentence

Former Albuquerque cop James Eichel was convicted of domestic violence after police responded to an incident in January 2025 where his wife showed visible injuries and claimed he was intoxicated. Eichel resigned from the force once charges were filed. Judge Jennifer Wernersbach sentenced him to a deferred sentence — two years to stay clean, with 18 months of supervised probation and a mandatory 52-week domestic violence course. The case underscores accountability, even for law enforcement, and offers a chance for rehabilitation if he proves himself over the next two years.
