Gallup Police Officer Dominic Molina said he was dispatched to west Aztec Avenue because of a report of a drunk driver.
He found the vehicle on west Highway 66 and started following it. As he did, he noticed it swerve to the right over the solid line. He also saw it being driven 10 miles below the posted speed limit.
He conducted a traffic stop and began talking to Kimberly Barber, 36, of Gallup. As he did, he said he could smell liquor inside the vehicle. Barber said she had not been drinking and pointed to the passenger in the vehicle who was intoxicated.
Molina noticed, however, that Barber was slurring her words and had red, bloodshot eyes. When she got out of the vehicle, she began stumbling.
Molina asked her to agree to take the standard field sobriety tests and she refused. He then asked her to take a breath alcohol test and she refused that, as well. She was then arrested and transported to the county jail.
