Aggravated DWI, speeding

The McKinley County DWI Task Force stopped a Fort Defiance woman for speeding and eventually arrested her for DWI.

New Mexico State Police Officer Christian Roman was on a task force patrol on U.S. Highway 491 near mile marker 4 when he saw a black passenger car driving north at a high speed. His unit’s radar clocked the vehicle going nearly 70 mph in a 55-mph safety corridor. Roman turned to follow the vehicle north, after which the vehicle pulled off at the Gas Max station at 516 U.S. Hwy. 491.

Roman met the driver, Long, 51, who said she was driving back home but did not specify from where. She reportedly admitted drinking two bottles of beer prior to driving. She also showed signs of intoxication including bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, and carrying a strong smell of alcohol.

Long agreed to take the Standard Field Sobriety Tests but soon took the alternative tests after stating her knee was hurting. However, she performed poorly on all the tests and was placed under arrest. She also refused the breath tests numerous times.

She was then transported to McKinley County Adult Detention Center and booked for aggravated DWI and speeding 11-15 mph over limit. Her pretrial hearing is set for Oct. 22.
