On March 8th, 2023, at around 10:50 am, a deputy in New Mexico was traveling southbound on NM 14 when he observed a yellow Audi vehicle traveling 68 MPH in a 50 MPH posted zone. The deputy made a U-turn to initiate a traffic stop of the yellow vehicle when the driver began accelerating and changing multiple lanes before exiting onto a dirt road.
Upon following the yellow vehicle onto the dirt road, the deputy initiated a traffic stop of the vehicle. Upon pulling over the vehicle, the male driver exited the yellow vehicle and did not comply with the deputy’s verbal commands.
The deputy handcuffed the driver as the female passenger exited the vehicle and began filming on her phone. While attempting to place the driver into the patrol vehicle, the deputy notes in his report, “I took Buchanan to the ground” After this, the driver was placed into the patrol vehicle. Shortly after, the deputy began approaching the passenger to place her in custody.
The passenger began backing away from the deputy while recording on her phone before being tackled and handcuffed to the ground. After the vehicle’s passenger was placed into custody, the deputy radioed in for backup. Upon another deputy’s arrival, a search was performed where the keys were located.
In his report, the initial responding deputy notes, “As I went to remove the keys, Dominguez grabbed my hand with force, squeezing it.” and “I had to push Dominguez into the vehicle and forcibly remove my hand from her grip.” The passenger was then placed into a patrol vehicle and taken to jail.
The driver was arrested and later charged with Resisting, Possession of Cocaine, Expired Registration, No Insurance, and Speeding. The vehicle’s passenger was arrested and later charged with Resisting Assault on a Peace Officer, Battery on a Peace Officer, and, Possession of Cocaine.
