Here are the top stories today in Albuquerque:

1. After he found his pre-teen daughter "sexting" a man 20 years her senior, an Albuquerque father set up his own sting operation. As a result, David Munoz was arrested for soliciting a minor. Munoz faced similar charges in 2014, but those charges were dropped because the alleged victims refused to testify. (KOB)
2. In 2021, New Mexico landlords tried to evict at least 191 households whose rental assistance applications were pending. According to a Searchlight New Mexico analysis of rental-assistance data and court records, the landlords filed for eviction after the tenant applied for rental assistance, but before the funds came through. (New Mexico Political Report)
3. The Breaking Bad RV Tour that takes visitors to filming locations continues to boom. The first Breaking Bad RV Tour debuted at the 2015 Albuquerque Comic-Con after thousands of dollars in repairs and renovations to the RV. Since launching the tour, the owners have hosted thousands of fans from across the country and globe. (KRQE News 13)
