2nd DWI, Aggravated

A domestic dispute in the parking lot of Motel 6 drew the attention of one employee, who in turn called the police. When Gallup Police Department Officer Andrew Thayer arrived the two quarreling lovers were parting ways in their vehicles. Thayer stopped Martin to conduct a welfare check, according to the report.

Martin, 46, smelled of booze and had red, watery eyes, the officer noted. She admitted to having two beers, and agreed to take the field sobriety tests. She failed each test and blew a .16 twice – twice the legal limit, earning the aggravated charge.
