MOUNTAINAIR, N.M. (KRQE) – An officer whose actions were questioned after a recent domestic violence call has resigned. Video of the incident in Mountainair had many calling for him to be removed.

Brent Woodard resigned from the Mountainair Police Department as video of one of his latest calls has been spreading online. It appears to show him pulling a woman out of her home and entering without her permission. The call was of a possible fight at a home in Mountainair on May 15.

A female officer talks to the alleged victim, then asks if the boyfriend will come out. That is when Officer Woodard steps in. The boyfriend comes out, and the woman grabs her phone and tries to start recording. Things eventually calm down, but Woodard ended up citing the woman for resisting and disorderly conduct.

The video has gone viral online with people calling Woodard’s actions unjust. This is not the first time Woodard’s actions have been questioned by the public. In January, Woodard pulled a taser on a Mountainair city employee after Woodard pulled over the man’s son and the man questioned why. Woodard charged that man with resisting and evading and assault of a peace officer.
