And The Suspect’s True Identity Is ...?

By John Larson

SOCORRO - The Socorro County Sheriff’s office filed a corrected criminal complaint as a suspect was misidentified as Robert Hinton.
A supplemental report attached to the complaint by Chief Deputy Shorty Vaiza stated that the suspect’s real name is James T. Cramberg, who used the identifiers of his brother, Robert Hinton.
“I received a phone call from the real Robert Hinton, who is the brother of the suspect,” Vaiza stated. “Hinton advised that his brother … has used his name and identifiers before and has been charged with this crime [concealing identity] in the past.”
Hinton sent Vaiza a photograph to confirm that he was not the man arrested on June 30.
“The person I arrested on June 30 is James T. Cramberg,” Vaiza’s report said. “I also learned that the suspect has a warrant out for his arrest in Valencia County.”
Vaiza said (the real) Robert Hinton is filing an Identity Theft report with the Albuquerque Police Department.
Cramberg is charged with larceny, burglary, trespass, evading/obstructing an officer, breaking and entering, criminal damage to property, and the new charge of concealing identity.
The charges stem from an incident on June 30 when three suspects were arrested in connection with a burglary on Monterey Road in Veguita as reported in last week’s Mountain Mail.
