Featured DWI
Orlando Williams
Dec. 31, 5:57 pm
Aggravated DWI (Seventh)

A Church Rock male had reportedly passed out at the wheel outside a local restaurant. The male, Orlando Williams, 30, was met by police and eventually charged with the latest in a laundry list of DWIs.

Officer Charlie Watkins was dispatched to McDonald’s North, 700 U.S. Hwy. 491, in reference to a welfare check on the driver of a white Nissan Altima. Watkins arrived at the scene and other officers at the scene advised him that the suspect vehicle was seen in the drive-thru lane. He pulled behind the vehicle and activated his unit’s emergency lights to conduct a traffic stop.

As Watkins exited his unit and approached the suspect vehicle, he reportedly saw through the rear windshield the driver climb from the back seat into the rear left seat. Watkins opened the door and quickly noted a strong smell of alcohol coming from inside the vehicle. The male, Williams, allegedly was slow exiting the vehicle and staggered as he approached Watkins.

Williams was uncooperative when answering Watkins’s questions and changed his answer from drinking with friends to saying he had not consumed any drinks. He reportedly showed further signs of intoxication including slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, and smelling of alcohol. Williams also refused to take the Standard Field Sobriety Tests and allegedly tried to back away from the scene as he was being placed under arrest.

After obtaining Williams’s identification, Metro Dispatch advised Watkins that Williams had seven prior convictions and five warrants for his arrest. Due to the number of charges, Watkins obtained a blood draw warrant signed by District Judge Louis DePauli and transported Williams to a local hospital. After the draw was completed, Williams was taken to McKinley County Adult Detention Center and booked for aggravated DWI (seventh) as well as the warrants.

His preliminary examination is set for March 8.
