Gallup Police Department Officer Adrian Quetawki responded to a call at about 7:30 pm concerning a reckless vehicle on West U.S. Highway 66.
When he got to the site, according to the report, the car had been pulled over by another officer, and the driver was outside, swaying back and forth. The driver was identified as Corina Yazzie, 24, of Gallup.
Yazzie said she was coming back from the Shalimar and admitted she’d had two beers and two shots at the establishment before driving. She agreed to take the standardized field sobriety tests and when she failed them, she was arrested.
She posted samples of .25 and .24 during a breath alcohol test. This was the fourth time she had been charged with DWI.
Yazzie later asked police to check on her 2-year-old daughter, who was found walking outside her home, crying. No one had been watching her.
Yazzie said she thought her sister was taking care of her daughter. She was also charged with abandonment of a child.

Aggravated DWI
According to the police report, McKinley County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Frank Villa Jr. responded to a caller who’d seen a car swerving on U.S. Highway 491, north of Gallup.
Villa reportedly had trouble locating the vehicle until he was informed the car had been seen going south on the highway near Gamerco. He found the vehicle, and noticed the driver almost hit the curb several times.
Villa said he turned on his lights, but the driver refused to stop until they came to the Rio West Mall, where the driver pulled in at 30 miles per hour, then stopped.
Villa said Samuel Littleman, 32, of Page, then got out of his car and approached him. Villa pulled out his taser and told Littleman to stop. Littleman stopped but refused to turn around or go to the ground so handcuffs could be placed on him.
At that point, backup arrived and managed to get Littleman to the ground and into handcuffs. Villa reportedly saw empty beer cans in the car.
Littleman agreed to take the field sobriety tests and had a hard time holding himself up. He was arrested, and later agreed to take a breath alcohol test, during which he blew two samples of .27.

Aggravated DWI
GPD Officer Andrew Thayer was driving on Third Street when he noticed a car in front of him with an expired registration tag.
He conducted a traffic stop and spoke with Allen Manymules, 60, of Fort Defiance, Ariz.
In his report, Thayer said that, as he was talking to Manymules, he noticed signs of intoxication.
Manymules agreed to take the field sobriety test but Thayer said he had a hard time following instructions and had to lean against the car to keep his balance. Manymules failed the test and seemed to have a hard time understanding English, so a passenger in the car agreed to translate.
Manymules agreed to a portable breath test, and once at the police station, it was discovered that Manymules had a warrant out for failure to appear at a hearing on a previous DWI.

McKinley County Sheriff Deputy Clayton Etsitty said he was out in search of a vehicle that was reported for speeding and passing cars on the shoulder.
He found the vehicle about three miles north of Gallup on U.S. 491, and noticed the car swerve and go off the shoulder. When Etsitty conducted a traffic stop, Yazzie reportedly said he swerved because he was on his cell phone.
Etsitty said as he talked to Yazzie, he noticed he had trouble balancing. Yazzie agreed to take the field sobriety test and failed, which resulted in his arrest.
Etsitty reported that Yazzie became disorderly as officers tried to place him in the back of a police unit.
He refused to take a breath alcohol test and began threatening Etsitty, saying he wanted to fight him. Yazzie finally agreed to take the test and posted samples of .18 and .16.
