ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A suspected drunk driver thought he could get away from police, but the Rio Rancho man didn’t get far when Albuquerque officers finally caught up to him.

It was a late night in February when Albuquerque Police pulled over a car on I-40, near 12th Street. Before officers knew it, they were chasing the suspect until they caught up with him near Old Town.

Police say the driver was Benjamin Olguin. As officers searched the 32-year old’s car, they say they found a number of mini bottles of alcohol.

Once Olguin got back to the police station, he admitted to drinking earlier in the night.

Officer: How much alcohol did you have to drink today, man?

Olguin: I don’t know, a couple shots, maybe.

He cut his conversation with the officer really quickly after admitting to drinking and refused to take a breath test. Olguin also had a hard time remembering what happened just moments before he landed himself in cuffs.

Olguin: I didn’t run from no one.

Officer: Yeah you did.

Olguin: Oh, I did?

Officer: Yeah.

Olguin. Oh. Okay.

You might remember Olguin from 2018 when police say he was stalking a security guard he had become obsessed with at El Mezquite Market in Southeast Albuquerque. He was never convicted.

Now, he finds himself slapped with new charges in this case, including aggravated DWI, careless driving, and fleeing from law enforcement.

Olguin has since been released from jail for this case and is expected back in court later this month. He has pled not guilty to all seven charges in this case.
