The Latest: Lawyer: District attorney probe 'grandstanding'

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The Latest on a southwestern New Mexico district attorney investigation (all times local): 5:30 p.m. A lawyer for a southwestern New Mexico district attorney says the investigation into her traffic stop is "purely political grandstanding." Jim Foy, an attorney for Francesca Martinez-Estevez, said Wednesday he found it unusual that Attorney General Hector Balderas wants to prosecute allegations of speedy and reckless driving. New Mexico Attorney General agents raided the office of Francesca Martinez-Estevez in connection with a suspected DWI traffic stop that has sparked calls for her resignation. A video of the June traffic stop showed her swerving across several lanes of traffic and stumbling during her conversation with officers. She was allowed to leave without any charges. Foy previously said Martinez-Estevez's car problems were caused by a flat tire and she doesn't drink alcohol. ___ 1:30 p.m. New Mexico Attorney General agents have raided the office of a southwestern New Mexico district attorney in connection with a suspected DWI traffic stop. The Attorney General's office on Tuesday seized documents and a state car driven by Francesca Martinez-Estevez. The search warrant at the Grants Country office is linked to the district attorney's June traffic stop. Martinez-Estevez, the district attorney for Sixth Judicial District, had faced calls to resign after a video of the traffic stop showed her swerving across several lanes of traffic and stumbling during her conversation with officers. Two Silver City Police Department officers who didn't conduct field sobriety tests on Martinez-Estevez were later disciplined. Officers say she nearly ran into an officer's car and another curb as she drove off. Martinez-Estevez and her attorney did not immediately return phone messages.
