Aggravated DWI (Third)
New Mexico State Police stopped a reckless driver on I-40 and arrested Rueven Jim, 34, of Fort Wingate, before charging him with his third DWI.
Deputy Elliott Peterson was traveling eastbound on Highway 118 when Metro Dispatch advised him of a reckless driver on Interstate 40 near mile marker 29. The vehicle, a maroon GMC Arcadia, reportedly exited the interstate at exit 33 on Highway 118.
Peterson continued traveling on Highway 118 and found a vehicle matching the caller description near mile marker 36 and conducted a traffic stop. He approached the vehicle from the passenger side and met the driver, Jim.
Jim presented a voided driver’s license and other requested documentation. Peterson observed that Jim had glossy red eyes and a confused expression as he spoke to him. Peterson also reportedly observed a Twisted Tea alcoholic beverage underneath the passenger seat.
Peterson instructed Jim to exit the vehicle and perform the Standard Field Sobriety Tests to determine if he was fit to drive. However, Jim performed poorly on the tests and was placed under arrest. Jim reportedly declined to give a breath sample.
Jim was transported to McKinley County Adult Detention Center and booked for aggravated DWI (third). His pretrial hearing is scheduled for Sept. 12.
