The owner of an Albuquerque driving school has been charged with driving while intoxicated after crashing his car. Police said the man was arrested Aug. 6 after he crashed his car in Rio Rancho. Police spokesman John Francis said when officers responded, the man had "an odor of intoxication on his breath; bloodshot, red watery eyes; slurred speech."
A police report showed that the man failed field sobriety tests when he couldn't walk in a straight line or recite the alphabet. Two breath analysis tests also showed that his blood-alcohol level was nearly four times the legal limit.
The man faces charges of DWI and careless driving. He was bonded out of the Sandoval County Jail a day after his arrest.
