https://www.yahoo.com/news/video-apd-officer-charged-driving-040855616.html  VIDEO: APD officer charged with driving drunk in patrol vehicle ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – On a Sunday in early June, New Mexico State Police Sergeant Toby Lafave was about to make an unusual arrest after clocking a speeding SUV on I-25. Lafave: “I’m watching an APD unit, doing like over 100, keeps driving off the road.” Lafave found APD Officer Jordan Hernandez in full uniform behind the wheel. Officer Hernandez told the sergeant that he had only a few minutes to get to work for his midnight shift but Sgt. Lefave said not so fast. Lafave: “You’re not staying in your lane.” Hernandez: “I’m sorry, boss, I have a low tire.” On the side of Bobby Foster Road, Hernandez tried to explain his driving. Lafave: “I don’t know why you keep going off the road. That’s why I stopped you.” Hernandez: “Honestly, can I show you why?” Lafave: “You can tell me why.” Hernandez: “It’s because I don’t have my other key, so my other key f**** me up because I don’t have my other key in the ignition, and so it’s pulling on my belt, and that’s why. Like, I can show you sir?” Lafave: “So that’s why you can’t stay in one lane? Hernandez: No, no, no. Lafave: Okay, I asked you, why can’t you stay in one lane? Hernandez: Because I’m trying to log onto all my stuff and everything like that. But the sergeant had a different explanation for what had happened. Lafave: “Mr. Hernandez, when did you last drink alcohol?” Hernandez: “Uh, yesterday.” Lafave: “Okay, let me check your eyes real quick.” Lafave, who is well known in the state for his career putting drunk drivers behind bars, learned Hernandez graduated from the academy three years prior. He told Hernandez that he could smell the booze on his breath and started field sobriety tests eventually arresting Hernandez. APD put Hernandez on administrative leave after his arrest. He is charged with aggravated DWI, speeding, and failure to maintain his lane. |

They'll work out some sweetheart deal, he'll resign with no real repercussions, and he will be working for a different department in under a year

Here, it will get fired. But POST will stay in play since it's a misdemeanor and the record is cleared after completing the DUI stuff. But fuck him. That was stupid. |

IDK why but figured that carried an additional punishment. |

If I'm a defense attorney whose client was arrested by the drunk dude, I'm filing to have all charges dismissed based on impeachment of the arresting officer's character

Would he have been fired if he had called in before his shift and told his boss he was too drunk to come in? Roy |

How about possession of multiple firearms while intoxicated? Here, that is not a charge. Be drunk all you want with a gun. I have no idea about NM law. But my personal opinion is I'm totally against charging people with things like being armed and intoxicated. So long as they are not doing something stupid with a firearm. I don't believe a person looses their rights to self defense if they have been drinking. |

Better off to call in sick. |

I can totally see him losing his license and going to court like everyone else. That's what happens in my area.

APD fucking up? Figured since nothing happens to their chief when they damned near kill a man by t-boning him for no good reason, while violating department policy, nothing would happen to him either.
Don't doubt he'll be back in uniform again soon protecting and serving us all. |
