Renus E. Barker

Jan. 19, 5:13 pm

7th DWI

Already on the District Attorney’s DWI felony list, Barker decided that six DWIs weren’t enough. MCSO Sgt. Eric Jim witnessed Barker pull into the Trademark plaza off South Second Street “at a high rate of speed,” according to the report. Barker, 29, also drove in circles around the Teriyaki House restaurant at a high rate of speed.

That prompted Jim to pull him over. Barker appeared intoxicated and struggled with field sobriety tests. Jim was able to secure a search warrant for a blood draw, but the results are still pending.

Randall R. Chee

Jan. 13, 6: 10 pm

2nd DWI, Aggravated

Chee, 20, is not even of legal age to drive, yet he readily earned his second DWI. According to Gallup Police Department Officer Steven Peshlakai’s report, police were dispatched to Bank of America on 1006 W. Aztec in response to a domestic dispute. The female passenger was bleeding from the forehead.

While he wouldn’t answer questions regarding the domestic dispute, he did admit to drinking two cans of “Four Loko.” He blew a .14 and .16 during the breath alcohol content tests. He was also booked for aggravated battery on a household member and resisting, evading or obstructing an officer.

Allen Manymules

Jan. 12, 6:27 pm

Aggravated DWI

Manymules stirred some attention when he couldn’t stay in his lane on U.S. Route 491. He had pulled into Ramierz Apartments, and according to McKinley County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Tammy Houhtaling’s report, another deputy noted that he threw his keys in the back hatch and climbed into the backseat.

Manymules, 57, said he didn’t speak English, but another deputy was able to refute that claim. He also claimed to be blind in his left eye when asked to engage in the field sobriety tests, but he closed his right and was peering out of his left eye. He refused to take the breath tests, earning an aggravated DWI.

Cornelia Anderson

Jan. 10, 6:39 pm

Aggravated DWI

When GPD Officer Carmelita James arrived at Strong and Coal in reference to a two-vehicle wreck, Anderson slurred her words and looked away from her while talking. A witness said that Anderson, 27, had tried to flee the scene, so he blocked her in with his vehicle, according to James report. Anderson refused to take the breath tests earning an Aggravated DWI among other charges.

Marcus Stevens

Jan. 9, 11:05 pm

Aggravated DWI

GPD Officer Luke Martin responded to a call at Blake’s Lotaburger on 2618 E. Highway 66 regarding an accident involving two vehicles. According to Luke’s report, Stevens, 34, claimed that someone else was driving, but the driver who he hit denied that assertion. He was showing all the signs of intoxication – bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, and “emitting an odor of alcoholic beverage.” When he arrived at the station, he blew a .20 and .18 during the breath tests.

Kymberly Jim

Jan. 2, 6:08 pm

2nd DWI, Aggravated

When MCSO Deputy Hougtaling arrived at the Munoz overpass, near exit 20, in response to a possible intoxicated driver, she found Jim standing at the side of the road, according to her report. Jim, 35, stated that she was having an anxiety attack. Houghtaling took note of the signs of intoxication and asked her to engage in field sobriety tests, which she failed.

Jim had to be taken to the hospital for clearance. While there, she blew a .217 during a breath test.

Gerard R. John

Jan. 2, 12 am

Aggravated DWI

John was reportedly following another vehicle too closely, which caught the attention of MCSO Deputy Arnold Noriega as he drove south on Chino Loop. He pulled John over and immediately noticed the signs of intoxication. He didn’t fare too well on the field sobriety tests, and blew a .23 and .25 during the breath tests.

Conway Hannah

Jan. 1, 2:35 am

DWI

Hannah’s story could have turned out a lot differently if he had hit someone while driving the wrong way on westbound I-40. MCSO Deputy Roxanne King pulled Hannah over near Thoreau, and could immediately smell booze emitting from his car. Deputy Arthur Rahimi asked Hannah to take the field sobriety tests, and he “was unable to complete any because he appeared extremely incoherent and intoxicated.”

Hannah, 25, blew a .12 twice during the breath tests.

William P. Goodluck

Dec. 31, 10:38 am

DWI

Goodluck, 63, was pulled over for going 71 mph in a 55 mph in the area of North China Springs loop and U.S. Route 491. Deputy Merlin Benally signaled for Goodluck to stop, so he pulled into T&R Tax Service. Goodluck admitted to drinking, but the night before. He presented Benally with an ID, and didn’t have a driver’s license in his possession. He was arrested and blew a .10 twice during the breath tests.

Leticia Billy

Dec. 28, 7:37 pm

Aggravated DWI

A driver on I-40 must have felt stalked as Billy tailgated him. According to Matthew Graham’s report, the witness got off the freeway at the Munoz overpass and headed toward Maloney. The witness said that Billy continued to follow him as he pulled in to the Hilton Garden parking lot.

Instead of hitting him, she hit a groundskeeper’s trashcan and dragged it into a parking stall. She then backed out and hit a truck, breaking the tail lamp. Billy then went behind the hotel, where another vehicle blocked her in until police arrived. She blew a .20 and a .21.
