New Mexico gov apologizes for staff’s conduct at hotel party

The governor of New Mexico faced intense criticism Friday after police tapes disclosed she was part of an allegedly boisterous party at a high-end Santa Fe hotel that led to a call to police.

After the party, Martinez and staff helped clean up and retired to a staffer’s hotel room to eat pizza. Fox News source has confirmed with Santa Fe cops officers in that the governor, who just handily won a 2nd cycle in workplace, & was elected in Nov.to go the Republican Governors Affiliation, sounded intoxicated when the calls have been made early Sun. morning.

The governor also demanded to know who made the complaint.

Santa Fe police were dispatched to Gov. Susana Martinez’s hotel room at the Eldorado Hotel & Spa about 1:30 a.m. Sunday after a caller complained of loud noises emanating from the room and someone throwing bottles off the balcony.

Martinez tells the dispatcher who she is, and then asks who complained. “Governor Martinez regrets the way this situation was handled by her and her staff and will further address that later today”. “You can call them off”.

Asked by the dispatcher at one point if she knew if the guests have weapons, the employee said: ‘No, I don’t. This time, New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez was on the other end of the phone line.

Throughout the call, which was transferred from a dispatcher to Sgt. Tapia, Gov. Martinez repeatedly tried to find out who had made the original complaint.

In one of the other conversations, Martinez says she had only gotten to the room two hours prior, which wouldn’t explain her specificity regarding when something might or might not have happened on the balcony.

The woman who said she was Martinez balked.

In the earlier phone call when the front desk first called 911, Garcia said she was calling because of complaints that rowdy partiers in the fourth-floor room had been throwing bottles, not snowballs, off a room’s balcony and had not complied with requests to be quiet.

“I’m not going to speculate”, Ross says.

‘Yes, tell me what the complaint is, ‘ Martinez said. “Caller adv they were warned to stop / They haven’t / Caller would like them escorted off the property”, the shorthand notes of the log say.

“Why can you not?” the governor responds.

The governor also said she has apologized to interim Santa Fe Police Chief Patrick Gallagher and has spoken with the hotel’s owner.

‘Um, and I own it.

When the dispatcher refuses to give the Governor the information she turns her attention to the hotel staff attendant asking, “Tell me”. However, shortly after the call was made, Governor Susana Martinez appeared in the lobby and demanded that she be able to speak with the dispatcher. “And we’re in there with my sister, who is disabled, along with about six other people who are having pizza”. “Ross said the officers made a sweep of the outside of the building to look for evidence of broken bottles, but found nothing”.

‘In reference to loud noise, ‘ the dispatcher said.

Ken Martinez declined to comment on the way the governor spoke with employees at the dispatch center.
