Reynaldo Bowman
Oct. 10, 2020, 2:38 am
Aggravated DWI (Third)
A man asleep at the wheel of a silver Dodge Charger awoke to find himself near the 15-mile marker of Highway 118 with McKinley County Sheriff’s Deputy Paul Davis Jr. at his side.
Davis was dispatched to the area around 2:38 am on Oct. 10, 2020. He found the car in the middle of the road with its engine on, lights off and the man who was later identified as Reynaldo Bowman, 37, no address listed, passed out at the wheel.
Davis tried waking Bowman and saw several open alcoholic drinks in the center console. The vehicle moved forward shortly before it stopped and the driver stepped out. Davis said Bowman swayed and fell to the ground when asked to move away from the vehicle.
He reportedly smelled of alcohol.
Bowman agreed to take the standard field sobriety tests, but then refused. So he was placed under arrest. He started to yell and threatened to spit on Davis, stating that he had COVID-19. Medical units were called to the scene to check Bowman. After he received clearance, he was placed in Davis’ unit where he declined to give a breath sample.
He was then transported to McKinley County Adult Detention Center and booked for aggravated DWI and an open container.

A 29-year-old woman ended her night out at Sammy C’s with her father picking up her car.
A Gallup woman identified as Delvora Billy was seen speeding in a silver Toyota while traveling east in a 25 mph zone. Billy was clocked at 47 mph on Highway 118 and turned into the parking lot at Lowe’s, at 1120 E, Hwy. 66.
That’s when New Mexico State Police Officer Justin Raye Maese was patrolling westbound on Highway 118 near downtown Gallup when he approached. He had seen her struggle to maintain her lane
Billy told Maese she was following her cousin even though the court report stated there was no other vehicle ahead of her. Billy did not provide her insurance or registration, and Maese noted the smell of alcohol coming from inside the vehicle.
Billy got out of the vehicle and told Maese she was coming from Sammy C’s and admitted to drinking two Blue Moon beers. Maese said she had bloodshot eyes and slurred speech. She agreed to take the standard field sobriety tests, but failed and was arrested.
She called her father to pick up the car and then agreed to give a breath sample and was transported to the local state police office for the test, where she posted samples of .22 and .20.
She was then transported to McKinley County Adult Detention Center and booked without incident.

Aggravated DWI
A car cut off two detectives as it traveled west on Highway 66, weaving back and forth. Detectives Chaco Chischilly and Andrew Thayer had conducted a traffic stop on a silver Honda. That’s when Gallup Patrolman Adrian Quetawki responded to a call from East Highway 66 where he was told the female suspect had requested a marked unit.
Quetawki went to the site near the Speedway Store at We Street and East Highway 66.
The car had pulled around a nearby carwash. Quetawki met the driver, Secelee Morgan, 28, no address listed, who said she was driving and had not been drinking even as Quetawki said he smelled alcohol.
She agreed to take the standard field sobriety tests, swaying from side to side as she did, according to the report.
As the tests went on, Morgan seemed to stop paying attention and kept looking at her car, telling Quetawki her kids were inside. Her actions were interpreted as a refusal to take the test, so she was placed under arrest.
When the detectives searched the vehicle, they found two open miniature bottles of 99 Bananas inside. Morgan was transported to the Gallup Police Department where she then refused to take the breath test. She was then transported to McKinley County Adult Detention Center and booked for aggravated DWI, an open container, and failure to maintain a lane.
