No, no, no. Just um the two 24-oz and then between then and there like 12:30. On February 11th, 2026 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, an officer decided to put the bar in behind bars. She showed up for her shift at police headquarters, but instead of bringing backup, she brought a heavy scent of liquid courage. Her supervisor smelled the trouble from a mile away and realized this wasn't just a bad day. Since the department couldn't grade their own student's homework, they called [music] in the county sheriff's office to handle this intoxicated mess. Hey Marine. Take a deep breath. Take a minute and you'll catch your breath, okay? I'm sorry to interrupt, but let's do this. Let's not jump to conclusions, okay? Let's just start with one thing at a time, okay? So, what happened earlier? A lot. Okay, what's a lot? Break up. Mhm. And then before that, break up with my baby daddy. Mhm. It's been a lot. I understand. I know. I tell a lot of people a lot of stuff cuz I don't like them to know. I understand. This is your personal life, okay? Obviously, I can smell the alcohol, okay? I didn't deny it, either. I know. I'm I'm not asking you to, okay? I just I have to get through everything, all right? Like I smell the alcohol, I can see your eyes are I see you've been crying, but I can also see that they're a little bloodshot and watery, all right? Um Did you have any alcohol tonight? >> Just the Coors Light. You did, okay. What did you drink? Coors Light. Coors Light? Two tall boys? Just the alcohol or uh The 24-oz. 24-oz, is two of them?

I should have known better. I was coming in for a reason. That's okay. All right. Um So, you had two tall boys around 6:30 prior to coming to work, okay? Yes. Did you Throughout the day, I did I was drinking throughout the Throughout the day as well, so She went straight to the heavy stuff, admitting she knocked back two 24-oz tall boys after a rough breakup. Honestly, she should have just called in sick. It is always better to have everyone think you're a hypochondriac than to drive intoxicated and show up to a police station smelling like a walking bar. She looked [music] absolutely defeated, but at least she was honest. Would that be more than just two the two tall boys? Okay. Overall, what would you say you drank? Maybe a six-pack? Okay. When did you start drinking? 11:00. 11:00? Okay. And you And you had your last one around 6:30? Mhm. And it was it a the six-pack of 24-oz, all six of them? No, no, no, no.

Go ahead over here and face me, okay? Try to keep your hands down at your sides, heels and toes together, all right? You have any serious brain injuries?

But you're been okay since, you've been relatively healthy? Relatively. I know you're cold. Try to get through this. Hands down at your sides, all right? Do you see my finger? I'm going to have you follow my finger with your eyes only. Try to tilt your head up for me a little bit, all right? Just follow my finger with your eyes and your eyes only, you understand? The sobriety test were about as steady as a Jenga tower in an earthquake. It was painful to watch a fellow officer attempt to follow a finger while her eyes were looking for a way out of this nightmare. >> [music] >> Watching her struggle with basic eye tracking was just a teaser for the physical comedy coming next. Sorry. It's okay. Okay. Go ahead and face the car, all right? See my flashlight? Go ahead and put your left foot on my light. Return on that same line nine heel to toe steps just like this. One, two, three, okay? For demonstration purposes, I only took three. You're going to take nine. All right? Do you have any questions? No? Okay. You can begin when you're ready. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. Well, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Okay. For this next test, I'm going to have you stand with your heels and toes together. You can begin when you're ready. Look down at one. Look down at two. Look down at three. Make sure to look down at your toe. Look down at four. Walking a straight line proved to be the ultimate final boss for Lujan as she stumbled through the nine heel to toe steps like a newborn giraffe. Her internal compass was clearly spinning in circles. >> [music] >> At this point, the bad day excuse was wearing thinner than her patience. She was definitely not in any condition to protect [music] or serve anything but a hangover. Look down at six. Look down at seven. Look down at eight. Look down at nine. Look down at 10. Look down at 11. Look down at 12. Look down at 13. Look down at 14. Look down at 15. Look down at 16. Look down at 17. Look down at 18. Look down at 19. Look down at 20. Look down at 21.

I'm going to have you keep your hands on the rest of your lap, okay? I can give you my cell phone number if you You don't have anything on you? No. No. I'm just going to check. >> side. All right. I'm just going to check really quick, okay? >> Okay. I have my car keys and my airpods. Okay. All right, stand up. I'm going to step up. I know it's a little bit of a step. I got you. Sit back for a minute, okay? All right. Marine, Yes. listen to me. I'm about to tell you tell you something important, okay? You're under arrest for DUI. New Mexico implied consent act requires you to submit to a breath test to determine the alcohol content of your blood. After you take our test, you have the right to choose an additional independent test. If you choose to take this additional independent test, you have a right to a reasonable opportunity or to arrange for a physician, a licensed nurse, or a medical laboratory technician or technologist who is employed by a hospital or physician of your own choice to perform an additional chemical test. The cost of this additional test will be paid by the law enforcement agency. Do you agree to take the breath test? Okay. I'm going to read you the refusal portion, okay? Just so you're aware. I cannot force you to take our test, but if you refuse, you will lose your New Mexico driver's license or your non-resident operating privilege for 1 year. If you're convicted in court of driving while under the influence, you may also receive a greater sentence because you refused to be tested, do you understand? Yes. Okay. You already agreed. Go ahead and Sitting in the car of her own department while being told she was under arrest >> [music] >> had to be the ultimate ego death for Lujan. She agreed to blow breathalyzer, likely realizing that the I'm an officer card wasn't going to save her today. >> [music] >> You could tell she was feeling bad for herself, but the law doesn't care about your badge when you're buzzed. Open me. Open your mouth. Tongue out. >> I have your phone, okay? Um Yeah, you have my phone. Yeah. We'll head to the office, okay? Yeah, right into the little office here. Right here. You You can have a seat on that black chair. All right, Marine. Let's go. Going to do the breath. All right. Deep breath in. One more time, okay? No, hold on. Deep breath in. >> [bell] >> No, I'll have you sit down. I'll turn the light on and crack the door for you, okay? If it gets too hot, let me know. All right, we're going to head out, okay? All right, out here and to the right. Sorry, I don't have running boards. I got you. I got you. All right. He's short. I know. In the end, Lujan's night finished behind bars. She threw away her reputation and her position for a few drinks that definitely didn't solve her personal problems. Showing up drunk to work is a bold move, but doing it at a police station is a different level of stupidity. She traded her badge for a booking photo, proving that nobody is above the law, especially when the law is the one smelling your breath. Officer Lujan was hit with the book after her breathalyzer test came back [music] at a staggering 0.19, which is more than double the legal limit. She was officially [music] slapped with aggravated driving while intoxicated, a charge that doesn't just go away with a "my bad." [music] After spending a night in the Santa Fe County Jail, a judge released her with a strict order [music] to stay away from the bottle. She's currently stuck on administrative duty, stripped of her public contact, and facing both a criminal trial and an internal investigation. [music] According to available records, this appears to be her first DWI charge in New Mexico.
