She only held the position for a few months. <br /><br />A 20-year-old female student who became the police chief in one of Mexico's most dangerous drug war towns was fired by the mayor on Monday. <br /><br />The reason...not showing up for work after Mexican media reported she had received death threats. <br /><br />Marisol Valles, a criminology student in Mexico's violent city of Ciudad Juarez, took charge of the police force in the neighboring municipality of Praxedis near El Paso, Texas, in October. <br /><br />Valles, the mother of an infant son, was due back at her post this week after taking leave to attend to personal matters. <br /><br />But Ciudad Juarez media reported she had fled Mexico after being threatened by drug gangs. <br /><br />Town hall officials in Praxedis last week denied she had sought asylum in the United States and said they had received no reports of death threats. <br /><br />In a statement, the Praxedis mayor's office said she had failed to return to work on Monday without giving any notice - grounds for her firing. <br /><br />Valles amazed many Mexicans with her bravery for taking up the post just days after drug hitmen killed the mayor in a nearby town. <br /><br />Many police officers in that region have quit or been killed.
