Print

Legal limit is .08

Cheyanna M. Thompson

Sept. 23, 2:48 am

DWI, Aggravated

GPD Officer Harland Soseeah was dispatched to the intersection of Nizhoni Boulevard and South Second Street in reference to a white vehicle that had been parked in the intersection for more than 40 minutes. A female was passed out inside, with the engine running.

Soseeah put stop sticks in front of the tires, and began to wake up the female driver. As Soseeah told Thompson, 21, to open her door, she began rolling forward, running over the stop sticks. The car hit a curb, blew a tire, and went toward a ditch. It then drove through the bushes next to the ATM at 1801 S. Second St., returned to Nizhoni and stopped — but not before driving in the wrong lane and almost hitting a pole.

As Soseeah began conducting field sobriety tests, Thompson became disorderly and was placed into custody. She was taken to a local hospital, cleared, and brought to jail. She blew .16 and .17 during breath testing.

Ronald Hood

Sept. 22, 8:41 pm

DWI

MCSO Deputy J. Bowman was waved down by a woman in a white SUV near South Fork Road and N.M. 118. The woman said a maroon vehicle almost collided with her car before parking on the side of the road.

Bowman found the stopped vehicle, which was still in drive, on N.M. 118 in Church Rock, at the 28-mile marker. When asked why he was stopped, the driver said he was on the phone. His eyes were bloodshot. He had neither insurance nor registration.

Hood, 47, failed field sobriety tests and blew .09 and .08 during breath testing.

Harold Yazzie

Sept. 19, 8:20 pm

DWI, Aggravated

GPD Officer Timothy Hughte was working the DWI patrol, when he was dispatched to the area 2300 E. Hwy. 66 in reference to a reckless driver in a silver Jeep who drove in the wrong lane before stopping in the middle of the road at 2000 E. Hwy. 66. The car was driving with flat tires.

A witness said the driver had been veering from lane to lane and the car hit the median several times at the intersection of Highway 66 and Mollica Drive. Another witness said the vehicle went airborne when it hit the median.

Yazzie, 68, told Hughte he’d had two cans of alcohol. He failed field sobriety tests and blew .23 and .24 during breath testing. He was taken to a local hospital, cleared, and booked at the McKinley County Detention Center.

Ernestine Catalina Paredes

Sept. 19, 1:35 pm

DWI, Aggravated

GPD Officer Harland Soseeah was dispatched to 3069 Adobe Ct. in reference to a welfare check on a home wherein a fight may have occurred. At the scene, Soseeah made contact with several individuals. Among them were Paredes, 19, and another female, who entered a black Volkswagen and hit an electrical box when backing out of the driveway.

Paredes smelled strongly of alcohol and slurred when she spoke. She failed field sobriety tests and refused breath testing. She was booked for aggravated DWI.

Derrick V. Peters

Sept. 16, 10:26 pm

DWI, Aggravated

When turning onto Third Street from Maloney Avenue, Peters, 34, went over the curb and ran into the Interstate 40 underpass — a brick wall. He then continued on, hitting the curb again at Third and Maxwell Avenue. He went a short ways further before his car gave out from the damage at 111 N. Third St.

GPD Officer Douglas Hoffman made contact with the Peters as he exited the vehicle with difficulty due to vehicle damage and intoxication. Peters smelled of alcohol and was difficult to understand. He staggered and almost fell. When Hoffman asked how the car got there, Peters said, “it magically appeared.”

Peters refused field sobriety tests and was transported to jail.

Logan McKenzie Benally

Sept. 15, 12:39 am

DWI, Aggravated

While on patrol, GPD Officer Clarissa Morgan was advised of a car traveling northbound on Third Street, which is a one-way road for southbound traffic.

Morgan found the passenger car at Third Street and Coal Avenue; it continued through the intersection. Morgan pulled the vehicle over at Third and Highway 66. Benally, 21, smelled of alcohol and had bloodshot, watery eyes.

She failed field sobriety tests and blew .16 and .17 during breath testing. There were open containers in the car.
