Police look into case of unconscious woman
In brief: Police look into case of unconscious woman
EL PASO -- El Paso police on Sunday attempted to find out what happened to a woman found unconscious on a driveway in Sunset Heights.
Police were called to the 200 block of Rio Grande at about 2:30 a.m. Sunday. Three men walking on Rio Grande saw the woman lying on a driveway and called police.
The woman, who was not identified, appeared to be intoxicated and looked as if she had been beaten, officers said. The woman was taken to Thomason Hospital, where she remained in stable condition. Investigators were waiting for the woman to wake up to try to determine what happened.

Carlsbad groups dislike beer billboard
CARLSBAD -- Officials with Eddy County's anti-drunken driving program are concerned that Carlsbad may be getting a bad name thanks to a billboard just outside of town.
It reads "Bud Light. Our Kind of Town."
Eddy County DWI program coordinator Cindy Sharif says even though the billboard doesn't mention Carlsbad, it's sending the wrong message about the Southern New Mexico community.
Sharif says she understands that companies have the right to advertise, but she wishes that billboards such as the one north of town would be placed elsewhere, not at the gateway to Carlsbad.
Wanda Welch, a real estate agent and co-chair of Keep Carlsbad Beautiful, says she doesn't like the billboard's message either.
