Brandon Hovey appeared in court Friday morning and had his trial set to begin in June. Story continues below Crime: Albuquerque business owner faces murder charge for shooting fleeing shoplifter News: Las Vegas deputy charged with aggravated battery and robbery Business: A downtown Albuquerque shoe shine parlor is still serving patrons after nearly a century Events: What's happening around New Mexico May 30-June 5? Kirtland Air Fiesta and more Police say Hovey was in the Quarter Celtic Pub on Juan Tabo and Indian School in November 2024. Hovey is accused of being aggressive and inappropriate with a waitress. Surveillance video showed Hovey getting up from his table and walking toward a waitress who can be seen backing away from Hovey. Eventually, the video showed him sitting down but a few minutes later the manager brought him his food and asked Hovey to leave. Police say Hovey took out a gun from his friend's car and used it to hit the manager in the stomach. Hovey then shot four rounds into the air before running away. Hovey was later arrested a block away walking along Juan Tabo. The state was pushing Hovey to plea guilty to aggravated battery and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, both with a firearm enhancement, amongst other charges. Under that proposed plea deal, he would have been facing anywhere from 12 and a half to 20 years behind bars. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
