New Mexico police officer arrested for DWI; pulled over and parked in traffic lane on highway

Las Cruces Police Officer Lourdes Hernandez was pulled over in the middle of the night in her personal car for speeding on I-25.

The first thing she tells the New Mexico State Police officer is that she has her duty weapon in the car with her, explaining she works for Las Cruces Police Department.

When pulling over, Hernandez made a big mistake, parking her car in the traffic lane.

Hernandez denies having any alcohol that night and refuses to do a field sobriety test.

Hernandez refused to take a field sobriety test or a breathalyzer so she was charged with aggravated DWI. She\u00e2\u0080\u0099s also charged with negligent use of a deadly weapon for driving drunk with a gun in the car. She\u00e2\u0080\u0099s currently on suspension.
