The drunkest driver this officer has ever seen — a 42-year-old found passed out at an Albuquerque drive-thru with the engine still running. What police discovered inside the car turned a routine call into a felony arrest. Just after 11 PM, employees at a Whataburger in Albuquerque, New Mexico called 911 after a man fell asleep behind the wheel at the drive-thru speaker. Officers arrived to find him unconscious, the car still running, and bottles of whiskey inside the vehicle. This was not his first DWI arrest. When officers ran his name, his record revealed a long history of the same offense — and what they found in the car made the situation far more serious than they first realized. ⚠️ CASE DETAILS: - Location: Albuquerque, New Mexico - Charges: Aggravated DWI (felony), driving on a revoked license, open container - Found unconscious at the drive-thru with the engine running - Multiple whiskey bottles recovered from the vehicle - An ignition interlock device was in the car — but it had never been connected ⚖️ LEGAL CONTEXT: Under New Mexico law, a fourth or subsequent DWI conviction is a felony carrying a mandatory minimum jail sentence, with penalties ranging from 120 days up to 18 months. Being in physical control of a running vehicle while intoxicated qualifies as DWI even if the car is not moving. The case is pending in Bernalillo County District Court. 📊 THE BIGGER PICTURE: According to the CDC, roughly 1 million drivers are arrested for DWI each year in the United States — yet that represents only about 1% of self-reported drunk driving episodes. The average drunk driver has driven impaired around 80 times before their first arrest. 🎬 ABOUT THIS VIDEO: Edited for clarity and viewer comprehension.
