DWI / Drunk Driving / DUI criminal defense lawyer news

Jane Walsh, the sister of first lady Barbara Richardson and the sister-in-law of Gov. Bill Richardson, is in trouble with the law.

Police were called to Walsh's workplace around 7:25 a.m. Wednesday, according to a DWI / Drunk Driving / DUI police report.

A driver on Interstate 40 had made the call to police after following her because he told DWI / Drunk Driving / DUI police she was driving dangerously.

TheDWI / Drunk Driving / DUI police report states that she was driving in the drain gutter, rubbing the curb and at one point drove up the curb and into a security gate. The report said a piece of her bumper came off, then she parked her car and went into work.

Another employee told DWI / Drunk Driving / DUI police he also witnessed the incident and asked Walsh if she was OK. She reportedly told him she was in bad shape.

A DWI / Drunk Driving / DUI Breathalyzer test showed no alcohol in Walsh's system, police said. However, police conducted a DWI / Drunk Driving / DUI field sobriety test which she failed, according to theDWI / Drunk Driving / DUI police report.

"It doesn't just mean alcohol. It could be other substances, mind-altering substances, whether they be illegal drugs or prescriptive drugs. That is the reason why a drug recognition officer was called and blood was drawn," said John Walsh of the Albuquerque Police Department.

DWI / Drunk Driving / DUI Police said it could take two to three weeks for the results on that blood work.

Walsh was booked into the DWI / Drunk Driving / DUI county jail, then released on her own recognizance.
