"New details have emerged about a former state police officer and his son, who were arrested Tuesday on murder charges.John McDowell may be the son of a former police officer, but he didn\u2019t walk the straight and narrow. KOAT Action 7 News found a list of court appearances that go on and on, including some for aggravated battery, witness tampering and evidence tampering.The documents indicate McDowell pleaded guilty to those charges.McDowell was charged along with his father, Jack, in connection with the homicide of James Chavez, 36, in the victim's Rio Rancho home in July 2011.\u201CThis was not a stranger-on-stranger crime,\u201D said Sgt. Nick Onken of Rio Rancho Police. \u201CAs to what their exact relationship was, I\u2019m not at liberty to discuss.\"McDowell and his father were persons of interest almost immediately, but police could not prove their involvement. Neighbors said they felt the son was bad news, but the father seemed like a good guy.A judge has sealed much of the case information and documents that might give more clues on a motive for the crime.Both men were behind bars at the Sandoval County Detention Center on murder charges."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
