James Deschine

08.25.17, 1:29 pm

Agg. DWI, 1st Offense

Gallup Police Officer John Gonzales was dispatched to Third Street and Maloney in reference to a request for law enforcement assistance from Gallup MedStar employees Christian Sarracino and Brian Kohner. Both had witnessed a car turn North onto Third Street, hitting the curb and then going onto the sidewalk, narrowly missing a pedestrian.

They stopped the driver from walking away from the accident and did a welfare check while Officer Gonzales was en route. The subject first identified himself as Patrick Deschine but eventually changed it to James Deschine. He did not have identification on his person.

The subject initially refused a field sobriety test but after changing his name to James agreed to do a breath test. Officer Gonzales confirmed his identity at Metro Dispatch and also found an outstanding warrant from Magistrate Court. The subject was then given a breath test and blew a 0.25 and 0.24, which placed him in the Aggressive DWI category.

After a medical check at Gallup Indian Medical Center, Gonzales was returning to his unit with the handcuffed Deshine, who then threw himself to the ground and refused to get up. Deshine began thrashing around on the ground, yelling “stop throwing me around.” GIMC security assisted in getting Deschine back on his feet and into the police unit. He was then transported to the McKinley County Detention Center and booked.

Joshua Duboise

08.25.17, 4:30 am

Agg. DWI, 1st Offense

GPD Officer Douglas Hoffman observed a pickup going west on Aztec between Second and Third Streets weaving from left to right and out of its lane of traffic. Attempting to catch up to the vehicle, the officer saw the vehicle drive into the opposite lane of traffic and run the stop sign at Fifth and Aztec at a high rate of speed, approximately 40 in a 25 mph zone. The truck then took a hard turn and went up and over the curb, hitting a wooden light pole in front of Aztec Theaters.

The light pole was broken, causing power lines to hit the ground around the truck. After exiting his pickup, the driver said his face and arm kind of hurt. When asked how much alcohol he had drank, he admitted to having a few. When asked how many a few was, he said eight.

When Duboise was being treated on scene by the ambulance crew, he began to punch himself in the face. After being transported to GIMC, the hospital staff did a portable breath test with a result of 0.153.

Duboise was then transported to MCDC and booked.

Keith Soseeah

08.24.17, 4:39 am

DWI, 1st Offense

McKinley County Sheriff’s Deputy Frank Villa, Jr. observed a white Chevrolet Impala swerving all over State Highway 118, crossing the center line three times and the edge line once. That was enough for the deputy to engage his emergency lights and pull over the vehicle near Beta Street, in Williams Acres.

All the signs of possible DWI were present when Soseeah exited his vehicle: slurred speech and bloodshot eyes along with the harsh aroma of ingested alcohol. Soseeah attempted to perform a field sobriety test but performed poorly and was arrested for DWI. At the Sheriff’s Office, Soseeah blew a BAC of 0.12 on two separate tests and was booked into MCDC.

Shaunee Marie Clark

08.24.17, 8:18 pm

Agg. DWI, 1st Offense

Dispatched to 1870 East Highway 66, GPD Officer Andrew Thayer saw the suspected vehicle in the parking lot of Walgreen’s and made contact with Clark as she was southbound. Clark first stated that she had had nothing to drink that day but upon further questioning admitted to imbibing three mini bottles of Fireball throughout the day, the last one being about four hours prior to driving.

Just wanting to go home, Clark agreed to a field sobriety test but promptly failed them. She then agreed to a breath test and was transported to the GPD, blowing a 0.19 and a 0.18. She was then takn to MCDC and booked.

Serena Y. Soce

08.24.17, 9:48 am

Agg. Driving, 1st Offense

Called by dispatch in reference to a reckless driver crashing into signs and with the tires flat, Daniel Brown spotted the suspect vehicle, already pulled over by GPD Detective Lt. Rosanne Morrissette. Three of the four tires were flat, there was heavy damage to the rims, and a dent on the front end. The front bumper was also underneath the vehicle.

The vehicle drove through the Red Rock Elementary School zone and came to rest in front of the residence at 1424 Red Rock Drive. Soce was transported to the GPD and gave an initial sample of 0.25. Attempts for a second sample resulted in Soce pleading the 5th Amendment, claiming the process was taking too long and that gave her the right to not be bothered or answer questions.

Soce was transported to MCDC and booked and was also served with two warrants that were outstanding.

 

Vincent Chicharello

08.23.17, 2:47

Agg. DWI, 6th Offense

MCSO Lt. Eric D. Jim was dispatched to the intersection of Crestview Road and San Juan Drive in reference to a two-vehicle crash. One driver had admitted to drinking prior to the crash and the deputy on scene had further advised Lt. Jim that Chicharello was at fault by making a wide turn onto San Juan and was reported to be talking on his cell phone.

Complaining of medical problems, Chicharello was given an alternate field sobriety test that he still was unable to pass. At 5:35 pm, his blood was drawn by ER nurse Rheanna Huffman, and sealed and packaged for later use. Chicharello was taken to MCDC and booked.

 

Mick Amir Martin

08.21.17, 9:03 pm

Agg. DWI, 4th Offense

GPD Officer Douglas Hoffman responded to 418 Zane in reference to a fight. While getting the information, a white pickup drove by slowly and then sped off. The calling party said this was the truck involved in the fight and that all five males inside were intoxicated.

Martin insisted that he had only been the driver for the other occupants of the truck and that he had ingested no alcohol, but his efforts to pass the field sobriety test did not back up the statement. His refusal to take a breath test cost him his license and he was arrested on the spot. Of the four other men in the truck, two of them had warrants for their arrest. Martin was transported to MCDC for booking.

 

Felissa Lopez

08.20.17, 6:28 am

Agg. DWI, 1st Offense

GPD Officer Dominic Molina was the second officer on scene at an accident involving a red Jeep that had gone over the curb and into the canyon area at the corner of Philipina and Country Club.

A portable breath test revealed a result of 0.234, and though she agreed to take a field sobriety test, she was unable to perform and finally said, “Stop, I can’t do this, can’t you just take me to jail alredy?”

Officer Molina obliged Lopez by placing her in cuffs. She refused further testing and was transported to MCDC and booked.

 

Billy Nez, Jr.

07.31.17, 10:31 pm

Agg. DWI, 1st Offense

GPD Officer Steven Eldridge spotted the maroon vehicle with 24 inch rims dispatched to all units. The vehicle was traveling to Window Rock. Officer Eldridge was Eastbound on Montoya ready to merge onto the Miyamura overpass when he spotted the GMC Yukon going the other way. A quick U-turn put Eldridge in a good position to follow and watch the suspected drunk driver. The Yukon got off I-40 at the Munoz overpass, failing to stop at the red light, but coming to a halt when the emergency lights flashed in his direction.

When asked if he would take a field sobriety test, Nez said  he was too intoxicated. He responded in the same manner when asked about the breathalyzer. He was then arrested and transported to MCDC and booked.
