New Mexican Dragging Victim’s Condition Upgraded

HeadlineApr 06, 2005

In New Mexico, doctors have upgraded the condition of the man who was tied up and dragged by a truck on Easter Sunday. The Mexican-born Fausto Arellano lost about 50 percent of his skin after he was dragged for two-thirds of a mile down a paved road in Gallup New Mexico. Doctors have upgraded his condition from critical to serious. But police have not been able to talk to Arellano because he remains under heavy sedation. In court earlier this week, John Talamante, of Gallup, plead not guilty on charges in connection to the incident.
