A Rio Rancho Police officer with a history of getting into crashes in her patrol car, was involved in yet another crash. This time, it happened right in the parking lot of the police department.

It was the night before Thanksgiving.

Rio Rancho Police officer, Brittany Mahnesmith, was walking to her patrol car in the department’s parking lot.

Mahnesmith put her car into reverse, even though there was clearly another unit parked right behind hers.

She hit the patrol car; it’s another crash, which is nothing new for her in her three and a half years on the force.

A spokesperson with the Rio Rancho Police Department refused multiple requests to do an on camera interview, but according to the police reports, this would be her fifth car accident.

Officer Mahnesmith rear-ended a driver on 528 back in April.

In 2016, she also rear-ended someone else. The report says she was distracted by the computer in her patrol car.

That same year, she backed into her unit with her personal car in her driveway.

Then back in February, she collided with a red-light runner. She was not at fault for that incident.

A spokesperson with the Rio Rancho Police Department says Mahnesmith’s last three crashes have led to $18,000 in damage.

After the April mishap, her fellow officers were well-aware of her driving problems.

RRPD says there’s no policy on how many crashes an officer can have before they lose their patrol car.

They do say Officer Mahnemsith has been disciplined in the past because of her driving history, but won’t say how.

She was required to take some driving courses, however.

Police say they are still investigating this most recent crash, but say Officer Mahnesmith is at fault, and haven’t decided if she’ll be punished for it.
