She stated  she was an officer with the Las Cruces Police Department and her duty gun was inside the glove compartment of the vehicle. The NMSP officer detected a strong odor of alcohol. She had bloodshot eyes and was chewing gum. 
The officer asked Hernandez to exit the vehicle. She explained that there was alot going on in her life and got into a fight with her boyfriend. Hernandez denied a field sobriety test and was arrested. She immediately requested a New Mexico State Police supervisor to come to the scene.

A Las Cruces Police sergeant arrived on scene and retrieved Hernandez's police issued firearm and property. She was then taken to jail to be booked.
