Terrance Manygoats

Oct. 6, 3:51 am

Aggravated DWI (first offense)

Gallup Police Officer Iris Pinero said she was dispatched to mile marker 22 on Interstate 40 in connection with a car hitting the bridge at Munoz Overpass.

When she got there, she found Terrance Manygoats, 18, of Rock Springs who immediately told her, “I’m not going to lie. I had a couple of drinks.” He later admitted that that couple of drinks was actually a 12 pack of Budweiser.

She said Manygoats showed signs of being intoxicated and walked toward her in a belligerent manner. He then started talking, but was not making any sense. She said she asked him how he ended up there and he replied, “You don’t wanna know.”

He continued to be uncooperative and refused to be walked to her police unit. Another officer had to help her get him in her unit.

Once in her unit, he said he didn’t want to hurt anyone, he was just depressed and wanted to blow off some steam.

Pinero said she felt Manygoats was too impaired to do the standard field sobriety tests, so he was taken to police headquarters where he agreed to take a breath alcohol test. He posted two samples of .19.

He was charged with DWI, driver’s license required and having an open liquor container in his vehicle.

 

Tenaire Shorty

Oct. 16, 5:43 pm

Aggravated DWI (first offense)

Gallup Police Officer Caleb Kleeburger said he was dispatched to the Panda Express in connection with a possible drunk driver.

When he got there, he saw the vehicle in question in the drive-thru and waited to follow it out into the street. The driver immediately turned left and almost struck another vehicle so Kleeburger said he turned on his siren and stopped it.

The driver, Tenaire Shorty, 25, of Tsaile, Ariz., showed signs of being intoxicated. He asked her how much she had had to drink and she replied, enough. She had her seven-year-old brother in the vehicle along with two other adults who were also intoxicated.

She was asked to take the standard field sobriety tests, but refused, saying she knew she would not pass. She later agreed to take a breath alcohol test and posted samples of.23 and .22.

She was charged with aggravated DWI, driver’s license required, having open liquor containers in her vehicle, and abandonment of a child because her underage brother was in the vehicle.

 

Leroy Thompson

Oct. 7, 3:41 pm

Aggravated DWI

Gallup Police Officer Domenic Molina said he was dispatched to the area of Patton Drive in connection with a possible drunk driver.

When he got there, he made a traffic stop on a vehicle being driven by Leroy Thompson, 54, of Red Rock. Molina said Thompson showed signs of being intoxicated, so he was asked if he had been drinking.

He stated he had had three tall cans of beer about two hours before. He agreed to take the standard field sobriety tests and failed. He also agreed to take a breath alcohol test and posted samples of .27 and .27.

He was charged with aggravated DWI, having open liquor containers in his vehicle and driving on the wrong side of the road.
