ALAMOGORDO, N.M. (AP) - A former New Mexico State Police officer charged with drunken driving wants a 911 call related to her arrest tossed out.
KRQE-TV reports an attorney for Jessica Turner said in recently filed court documents the 911 caller is unreliable because he never left his name, and incorrectly identified Turner as a man.
Otero County deputies say they found Turner slumped over the wheel in February 2018 after receiving a call about a truck on Highway 82. The caller told police the driver almost hit him.
A police report says there was a smell of alcohol in the truck and she performed poorly on a sobriety test.
She resigned from New Mexico State Police a few months later.
