a top candidate to become bernalillo county sheriff is speaking out tonight. a-p-d commander conrad candelaria is upset about a letter written by a retired air national guard colonel. the letter questions candelaria's brief military stint ... and it was sent to county commissioners. jeremy jojola got his hands on that letter and is here with what candelaria has to say about it. jeremy. this email i stirring up a lot of emotions. that retired national guard colonel says candelaria is spreading "falsehoods" about his time in the guard. candelaria calls the whole letter dirty politics. as darren white leaves behind his sheriff's job next month for his new gig as the city's public safety chief----the county commission has to pick his replacement. one of the men who wants the job is conrad candelaria--a 25 year veteran of the albuquerque police department who's been serving as commander for e last six years. but an email sent to county commissioners wednesday questions candelaria's integrity while serving in the national guard. the email says after candelaria completed basic training in 2005, he ignored an order to report for officer candidate school. retired colonel howard thevenet tells the commission in the email "conrad candelaria had a "wake up call" of sorts, perhaps in basic traing. in any case, he did not report to fort benning as ordered." thevenet would not talk on camera about the letter with us, but candelaria did this morning. "obviously his facts are very distorted. i have to wonder if someone, maybe take into account is there someone pushing to do this." candelaria explains he never went to officer candidate school because he was never approved to do so in the first place because he was too old. he also dismisses thevenets claims, saying the retired colonel doesn't have access to his military records.

" the national guard would not comment on the letter saying it's the opinion of a retired colonel. the guard says it can not tell us if an order was disobeyed because that's part of a personal military file. candelaria says he would open up his file to the commission if asked. county commissioners may decide on a new sheriff next week -- but county law requires them to conduct their official vote on november 30th. that's because sheriff darren white's resignation officially goes into effect at five p-m that day. commissioners can't appoint a new sheriff if someone already holds the office.. so commissioners will hold their official vote at 5:01
