The Dona Ana County man we told you about the other day who had been shot twice and stabbed last Saturday and didn't realize it till he woke up Sunday morning in his bloody sheets is now on the run, the Las Cruces Sun-News is reporting.

The man, now identified as 24-year-old Richard Clark of Dona Ana, was supposed to meet with his parole office on Tuesday, but he didn't, and a warrant was issued Wednesday for his arrest, the Sun-News said.

Clark's no-show may have had something to do with his losing an ankle bracelet he was supposed to wear as a condition of parole, according to the Sun-News report.

Anyone with information on Clark's whereabouts is asked to call Dona Ana County sheriff's investigator Bo Nevarez at (575) 525-1911 or central dispatch at (575) 526-0179.

9:55am 3/3/08 -- Just a Scratch ...: Las Cruces man didn't remember being shot twice and stabbed until the next day.

Albuquerque police continue to try to figure out how a 19-year-old man could have accidentally shot himself to death -- twice, and in different parts of the body, according to this morning's Albuquerque Journal.

But down in Dona Ana County, folks may be scratching their heads about how a 25-year-old man could have been shot twice in his right calf and stabbed once in the lower abdomen on Saturday night -- then not noticed it until Sunday morning when his mother woke him for breakfast, the Las Cruces Sun-News reported.

Dona Ana County sheriff's investigators were called Sunday to Memorial Medical Center Hospital where the man's mother had taken him for treatment, the Sun-News said.

The man said he had been driving around 9 p.m. Saturday when he encountered a group of "eight to nine" individuals, and when one of the group threw a block of wood at his car, he got out to confront them, the paper reported.

A struggle ensued with "four or five" people, and the man told investigators remembered "hearing a gunshot" but didn't realize he'd been shot or stabbed till the following morning, the Sun-News said.

The man, who was unable to identify his attackers, said he also remembered hearing his ankle bracelet "going off" during the fight, the paper said.

But the ankle bracelet, used to monitor the man's movements while he is on parole, was nowhere to be found, the Sun-News reported.

His injuries were non-life-threatening, according to the paper.
