Aviation PD Officer Bobby Dilley

March 7th 2014, Albuquerque, NM Aviation Police Officer Bobby Dilley's life was drastically and tragically changed forever. Bobby was on his way home after working his shift at the Airport... Unfortunately, so was drunk driver Michelle Rivera after being over served alcohol at a local bar. Rivera was driving in excess of 100 mph, and rear ended Bobby's Jeep, sending his vehicle rolling end over end, ripping the roof off, crushing and breaking him in the process, eventually dragging his head against the freeway asphalt for 200 feet, all the while the sound of clanking, crunching metal and shattering glass echoed... then... silence.
During his over 30 years of service in the military and Law Enforcement, Officer Dilley experienced, on many occasions, injury and threats on his life, but none that would change his life like the night of March 7th. After being rushed to the hospital, enduring several extensive surgeries, heart complications, being pronounced dead 5 times, more surgeries and an amputation, it was discovered that Michelle Rivera had no car insurance, therefore, not only leaving Bobby with the heavy lifelong burden of living with daily pain from head to toe, as a result of her negligence and disregard for the safety of others, but now with the largest financial burden of his life! Over $425,000.00 in medical bills, out of pocket, after HIS insurance paid out their responsibility. If not for his courage, strength and rowdy personality, Officer Dilley may not have survived these life changing events! He is back to work, and working harder than he should to financially keep his head above water. So far, and not without sacrifice, hard work and long hours, Bobby has managed to pay $100,000.00 toward the total owed.
Bobby is a wonderful, selfless, courageous, strong servivor... I ask that we all come together to show our appreciation and support of this brave officer who has selflessly served and continues to serve our community! No amount is too small and every dollar counts... Help us to get as close to our goal as possible to help relieve at least some of the burden that the serious violent offender that night, has inflicted on Officer Dilley! Thank you all so much, your support is so very appreciated!!!
