Aggravated DWI (Third)
A Mentmore man, John Hoskie, 53, left the scene of a crash before he was arrested and charged with his third DWI.
Gallup Officer Gabrien Lee was dispatched to the intersection of Patton Drive and East Highway 66 after a call came in for a two-vehicle collision. Lee arrived at the scene and met one of the drivers, Hoskie, sitting in a tan Chevy Malibu with heavy front end damage.
Hoskie reportedly told Lee he was trying to get to a friend’s house when he crashed into another vehicle. Both vehicles were reportedly blocking traffic and had to be towed out of the road. Lee reportedly saw Hoskie display signs of intoxication as he spoke, including bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, and smelling of alcohol. Hoskie then stated he consumed an unspecified drink about four hours prior to the incident.
After stepping out of the vehicle, Hoskie agreed to perform the Standard Field Sobriety Tests. However, he performed poorly on the tests and Lee placed him under arrest based on his investigation. A witness at the scene told officers she had seen the victim vehicle turning left onto East Highway 66 while Hoskie drove up and turned right onto Patton Drive, striking the other vehicle in the process.
Hoskie was transported to Gallup Police Department for the breath test, where he posted samples of .26 and .24. He was then taken to McKinley County Adult Detention Center and booked for aggravated DWI (third), revoked or suspended license, and no insurance and registration. His motion hearing is scheduled for Oct. 26.
