Aggravated DWI (Third)
Driving without headlights led to a Gallup woman, Nora Bahe, 38, being arrested and charged with her third DWI.
McKinley County Sheriff’s Officer Francesica Henry was traveling westbound on Aztec Avenue near the three-way stop at Arnold Street when she observed a white Chevrolet SUV come up behind her unit without its headlights on.
The suspect vehicle turned onto Clark Street and Henry followed, activating her unit’s emergency lights. Henry conducted the traffic stop near the intersection of Clark Street and Gold Avenue and met the driver, Bahe.
The report stated Henry smelled a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage and the driver allegedly kept answering the same questions. Bahe exited the vehicle on command and agreed to take the Standard Field Sobriety Tests.
However, Bahe performed poorly on the tests and was placed under arrest. Officer Gilbert Gonzalez arrived at the scene and administered a portable breath test, which showed a .199. Bahe was transported to the sheriff’s office for the full test, where she posted two samples of .21.
After the paperwork was completed at the Gallup Police Department, Henry transported Bahe to McKinley County Adult Detention Center, where she was booked for aggravated DWI (third), failure to dim headlights, open container, no insurance, and no registration.
Her motion hearing is set for Nov. 30.
