Aggravated DWI (Third)
Local police investigated a vehicle parked on the sidewalk and eventually arrested and charged Tracey Yazzie, 31, of Gallup, with his third DWI.
McKinley County Sheriff’s Deputy Francesica Henry was dispatched to 710 S. Second St. in reference to Sgt. John Gonzales conducting a traffic stop on a white Chevrolet van that was traveling northbound before stopping on the sidewalk.
Gonzales had gotten both passengers to exit the vehicle when Henry arrived, who then spoke to the driver, Yazzie. As she spoke to Yazzie, Henry reportedly observed him show clear signs of intoxication including bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, and smelling of alcohol. The report did not indicate any responses Yazzie gave to any questions.
Henry administered the Standard Field Sobriety Tests to Yazzie, which included alternative tests due to Yazzie reportedly being unable to complete two of the tests due to an issue with his foot. Yazzie performed poorly on the tests and was deemed too impaired to operative a vehicle and he was placed under arrest.
The report indicated Yazzie refused to give a breath sample. He was transported to McKinley County Adult Detention Center and booked for aggravated DWI (third), open container, no insurance, and no registration. His pretrial hearing is set for Nov. 30.
