Marisol Valles, 20-year old Student, Named Police Chief in Violent Mexican Town

Alcazar/Getty Twenty year old criminology student, Marisol Valles, stands outside of her office in the northern Mexican border town of Praxedis G. Guerrero municipality in Chihuahua State.

“(AFP) – A 20-year-old female criminology student was named police chief of a northern Mexican border town plagued by drug violence because no one else wanted the job, AFP reported Tuesday.

Marisol Valles became director of municipal public security of Guadalupe “since she was the only person to accept the position,” the mayor’s office of the town of some 10,000 people near the U.S. border told local media late Monday.”
