Drunk NM Governor tries to call police off from complaints about staff party at hotel
SANTA FE (KRQE) — The Office of Governor Susana Martinez is refusing to comment on a late-night phone call made by the governor to Santa Fe police following a noise complaint involving a party for the governor’s staff held at a posh Santa Fe hotel.
Recordings of the phone call obtained by KRQE News 13 reveal a conversation between emergency dispatchers and the governor, as she tries to convince police that there’s no need for them to respond to the complaint.
No report was filed by police. A spokesman for the city of Santa Fe told KRQE News 13 that the officers who arrived on scene spoke to the governor, state police and hotel staff. After receiving “assurances” from staff and hotel security that the matter was under control.
The episode began with a phone call at 1:31 a.m. from the front desk at the four-star Eldorado. The front desk attendant told police she’d received several complaints from hotel guests about a fourth-floor room that had been “partying” and throwing bottles off the balcony. The attendant said hotel staff had warned the partiers and told them to leave and now wanted the guests to be kicked out.
