Aggravated DWI (Third)
McKinley County Sheriff’s Officers pulled a vehicle over for driving with a fictitious license plate and eventually arrested the driver for his third DWI.
Deputy Frank Villa Jr. was dispatched to the Domino’s at 1383 W. Jefferson Ave. He arrived and met Lieutenant Johnson Lee, who had stopped a white Chevrolet Tahoe for having the incorrect license plate. Johnson reportedly told Lee that the driver, Tom, 58, admitted to drinking two cans of Budweiser before leaving his job at Rio West Mall.
Villa met Tom, who repeated that he had drank the two cans about two hours prior to being stopped. Tom also reportedly showed signs of intoxication including bloodshot eyes and smelling of alcohol. Tom was unsure if he could follow Villa’s directions, so he took the alternative tests instead. However, he performed poorly and was placed under arrest. A search of the vehicle showed multiple open containers strewn inside.
Tom refused to give a breath sample. He was transported to the McKinley County Adult Detention Center and booked for aggravated DWI (third), improper evidence, and no license. His pretrial hearing is set for Oct. 1.
