Dec. 27, 2020 1:15 am

Aggravated DWI (Second)

A woman who said she had hurt her knee trying to break up a fight was pulled over near First Street and Maloney Avenue.

Gallup Patrolman Julio Yazzie met with Roseanna Tom, 46, of Church Rock, N.M. after being dispatched to Sun Valley Apartments, 201 JM Montoya Blvd.

He reported that he saw a gray vehicle traveling south on Woodrow Drive matching the description of a vehicle that also parked in the middle of the street.

When he met with the driver, Tom admitted to having two mixed drinks about an hour before. Yazzie said he smelled alcohol coming from inside her vehicle.

Based on her failed standard field sobriety tests, she was placed under arrest.

Tom agreed to give a breath sample and she was transported to Gallup Police Department for the test and posted samples of .21 and .22.

She was then transported to McKinley County Adult Detention Center and booked.

She was released on her own recognizance.

Myron Scott

May 27, 2020, 6:50 pm

Aggravated DWI

On his way through the drive-thru at a Lotaburger, Myron Scott, 30, address not listed, hit the curb. His poor driving led to a visit to Pep Boys at 702 U. S. Hwy 491 by Gallup Patrolman Jarad Albert.

Dispatch said Scott had slurred his speech when his orange Ford Explorer veered out of the restaurant lane.

When Albert arrived, the Explorer was parked in front of the store with the engine running.

Scott seemed to have difficulty locating the documentation Albert requested. The patrolman said he also had bloodshot eyes and slurred speech and a woman inside the truck who tried to speak for him.

Scott got out of the truck and told Albert he had consumed two 12-oz. beers prior to driving. He agreed to take the standard field sobriety tests, but failed and was placed under arrest after Albert concluded his investigation.

Albert transported Scott to Gallup Police Department for the breath test, where he posted samples of .18 and .17. He then took him to the county jail for booking, but Scott was denied booking after jail staff finished their medical evaluation.

The report did not state whether a summons was later filed.

DWI

Mary Sakizzi of Kayenta, Ariz. was in a silver SUV with an unspecified number of passengers when New Mexico State Police Officer Chaz Troncoso spotted the truck she was driving while patrolling east on Highway 118.

The SUV was traveling without head or taillights.

Troncoso conducted a  traffic stop near the intersection of Highway 118 and Third Street.

The driver and rear passenger windows opened as he approached and he noted a strong smell of alcohol coming from inside. He met the driver, Sakizzie, 58, who handed him a regular ID instead of a driver’s license. She said she was coming from Love’s and had previously consumed a six-pack of Coors Light.

Sakizzie got out of the vehicle at Troncoso’s request, where he also noticed she had bloodshot eyes and slurred speech. She agreed to take the standard field sobriety tests, failed, and was placed under arrest. Troncoso searched the vehicle and found several cans of Coors Light inside. There were also an unspecified number of passengers in the vehicle, who were all transported from the scene by a tow truck driver.

After agreeing to give a breath sample, Sakizzie was transported to the local state police office for the test, where she posted two samples of .12. She was then taken to the McKinley County Adult Detention Center and booked without incident.

Adrian Catron

Aug. 2, 2019, 9:52 pm

Aggravated DWI

After a visit to the casino, it was hard to wake Adrian Catron up. The 30 year-old from Saint Michaels, Ariz. reportedly passed out behind the wheel of a GMC Sierra near the 16-mile marker of Interstate 40.

New Mexico State Police Officer Merlin Billy was called out to conduct a welfare check.

When he arrived he found a vehicle matching the description he was given with its headlights on and engine running. He approached the driver’s side and found a male asleep in the driver’s seat.

Catron did not wake up when Billy opened the driver’s door, but did stir when the vehicle was turned off. Billy had to eventually shout to get Catron’s attention, and he noted Catron had bloodshot eyes and slurred speech. When asked to get out of the Sierra, Catron staggered as he walked toward the back of the vehicle.

When asked if he had had anything to drink prior to driving, Catron admitted to having three beers at the casino. He agreed to take the standard field sobriety tests, but failed and was placed under arrest.

Catron was transported to the local state police office for a breath test, where he posted two samples of .21. He was then taken to McKinley County Adult Detention Center and booked.
