On September 4, 2018 at approximately 2:24 AM officers from the Santa Fe Police Department were dispatched to 530 S. Guadalupe Street (“Boxcar”) in reference to a fight involving two male subjects. Upon arrival, officers exited their patrol cars and were immediately approached by a security guard and two male subjects, known to responding officers as being Sheriff’s Deputies James Yeager and Jose “JD” Lujan. Officer James Plummer began to speak with security while Officer Ryan Alire-Maez instructed Mr. Yeager to stay seated by the front entrance bench. In that time, Mr. Lujan had approached Officer Alire-Maez and also tried to get the attention of Officer Plummer. Alire-Maez told Lujan, "Not right now,” and noted that Lujan showed signs of heavy alcohol intoxication as he had slurred speech, bloodshot and watery eyes, a strong odor of an intoxicated beverage emitting from his person, and unsteadiness on his feet. Mr. Lujan then stepped close to Officer Alire-Maez and gestured with his left hand extended out in front of him towards officer Alire-Maez in what the officer perceived to be an angry manner while standing within one foot of the uniformed officer. Mr. Lujan then stared at Officer Alire-Maez in an “angry manner” and appeared to be "sizing up" Alire-Maez for a fight. Feeling uncomfortable with Mr. Lujan's demeanor and aggressive behavior, Alire-Maez decided to place handcuffs on Mr. Lujan. Real World Police just minutes ago confirmed with the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office that Jose Lujan's last day of employment with the county was October 26, 2018. He worked for the Santa Fe Sheriff's Office for more than six years prior to the abrupt career-tank seen in this video.
