Aggravated DWI (Third)
A crash near the Fort Wingate High School campus resulted in the driver, Phillip Brown Jr., 45, being arrested and charged with his third DWI.
Metro Dispatch advised officers of a crash near 500 Shush Dr. in Fort Wingate. McKinley County Sheriff’s Deputy Dominic Molina arrived at the scene and found a black Chevrolet Impala parked near the football field after driving through one fence on the southeast corner of the campus and striking another fence.
Molina and Deputy Elliot Peterson walked to the vehicle and met the driver, Brown, who reportedly stated he was on his way home when he crashed through the fence. Brown reportedly showed signs of intoxication including bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, and smelling of alcohol.
Brown refused to take the Standard Field Sobriety Tests, eventually admitting he consumed a six-pack of beer some time prior to driving. Based on the investigation, Molina placed him under arrest. A search of Brown’s vehicle showed two open containers of Coors Light.
Due to the crash, Brown was first transported to a local hospital medical clearance before being taken to the sheriff’s office for processing. The report did not state any breath test results. He was then taken to McKinley County Adult Detention Center and booked for aggravated DWI (third) and open container. His pretrial hearing is set for Jan. 23.
