Herbert Dee Jr.

Dec. 8, 12:56 pm

Aggravated DWI (Sixth)

Gallup Police pulled over a vehicle that was swerving across the road and eventually arrested the driver, Herbert Dee Jr., 42, of Church Rock, and charged him with a sixth DWI.

Officer Julio Yazzie was dispatched to Hassler Valley Road in reference to a reckless driver. Yazzie traveled westbound on County Road 5 towards the National Guard Armory at 1480 Hassler Valley Rd. when he passed a vehicle matching the suspect description traveling east. Yazzie turned to follow the vehicle, a Nissan Armada, which pulled into the parking lot of the New Mexico Department of Transportation patrol building and stopped.

The driver, Dee, reportedly exited his vehicle and walked towards Yazzie’s unit as he pulled into the lot. Yazzie began speaking to Dee, observing signs of intoxication including bloodshot eyes and smelling of alcohol. Dee said he consumed two containers of Bud Light about an hour prior to being stopped.

Yazzie offered the Standard Field Sobriety Tests to Dee. After reportedly stating he had an issue with his leg, Dee agreed to take the alternative tests. However, he performed poorly on the alternative tests and was placed under arrest for DWI based on Yazzie’s investigation.

Metro Dispatch advised Yazzie that Dee was on the felony list due to five recorded priors. A blood warrant was drafted and signed by Judge Cynthia Sanders, so Dee was transported to Rehoboth McKinley Christian Health Care Services for the blood draw. Dee was reportedly uncooperative with staff and Yazzie was assisted by hospital security to escort Dee.

Following the blood draw, Dee was transported to Gallup Indian Medical Center for clearance for his leg issue. He was then taken to McKinley County Adult Detention Center and booked for aggravated DWI (sixth), driving while license revoked, and careless driving. His preliminary examination is set for Jan. 4.
