Blizzard conditions in New Mexico keep drivers off the roads [Video]

IM OLGA BREESE REPORTING FROM INTERSTATES BEING SHUT DOWN TO BUSINESSES CLOSED. NORTHERN NEW MEXICO IS GETTING SLAMMED. JULIAN PORTIS IS IN LAS VEGAS TO SHOW US HOW PEOPLE ARE DEALING WITH MOTHER NATURE. WELL, FOR THE TIME BEING, PEOPLE HERE IN THE LAS VEGAS AREA ARE SAYING THEY ARE TRYING TO STAY WARM UNTIL THE SNOW CLEARS UP AND IN THE MEANTIME, THEYRE NOT GOING ANYWHERE EITHER. I CHECKED SOME WEATHER CAMERAS I-25 UP THERE IN COLORADO. LOOKS GREAT. TWO HOURS INTO DRIVING, I GOT TO FIND A PLACE TO PULL OVER. SCOTT PEPPER HAS BEEN A TRUCK DRIVER FOR MANY YEARS, AND ALTHOUGH DEALING WITH SEVERE WEATHER HAS BEEN A PART OF HIS JOB, HE KNOWS WHEN ITS TIME TO GET OFF THE ROAD. HOW DOES THIS AFFECT THE BUSINESS AND YOUR WORK PERSONALLY? IT JUST SLOW DOWN FOR A LITTLE BIT. THIS WEATHER CAN REALLY MAKE THINGS GO SLOW. HE AND DOZENS OF OTHER DRIVERS MAKING THAT DECISION TO HUNKER DOWN AND NOT TAKING ANY CHANCES. NEW MEXICO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION OFFICIALS SAYING I-25 HAS BEEN CLOSED IN SOME SPOTS TOWARDS COLORADO. I WOULD SAY THIS HAS PROBABLY BEEN THE MOST SIGNIFICANT SNOWSTORM THAT WEVE GOTTEN, THE ACCUMULATION THAT WEVE GOTTEN IN SUCH A SHORT TIME, AND HOW THIS SYSTEM IS JUST GOING TO HANG AROUND FOR THREE DAYS STRAIGHT. DISTRICT FOUR PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER TRAVIS MARTINEZ SAYS THERE ARE MORE THAN 70 VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN WORKING THE STREETS SINCE THE STORM ARRIVED. AS WINDS AND SNOW CONTINUE TO BLOW THROUGH NORTHERN NEW MEXICO. TRAVELERS ARENT SURE HOW LONG THEYLL BE STAYING IN TOWN FOR. I HAVE NO IDEA IF ITS GOING TO BE GET OUT TONIGHT. COULD BE A COUPLE DAYS. JUST ALL DEPENDS ON THE WEATHER NOW COMPARED TO EARLIER TODAY. THE SNOW HAS ACTUALLY RELAXED AND CHILLED OUT A BIT, BUT THERE ARE MORE SHOWERS AND SNOW EXPECTED HERE

Body camera video shows arrest of driver accused of driving the wrong way past VP motorcade

PULLED HIM OVER. CLEARLY, TOO LITTLE, TOO MUCH TO DRINK, EVEN THOUGH WITH YOUR MILLER LITE HERE, IT DOESNT MATTER. NEW VIDEO TONIGHT SHOWS THE MOMENTS AFTER POLICE PULLED OVER WAYNE WALKER. LETS GET HIM OUT FIRST. LETS GET HIM OUT. PROSECUTORS SAY WALKER DROVE THIS CAR THE WRONG WAY ON 794, PASSING THE VICE PRESIDENTS MOTORCADE. TWO TRAILING MILWAUKEE COUNTY SHERIFFS DEPUTIES IN THE MOTORCADE STOPPED HIM. YOU KNOW, YOU COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEBODY, RIGHT? GOING THE WRONG WAY IN TRAFFIC, MAN. IM VERY BUSY HIGHWAY HERE. ONCE PULLED OVER, HE CANT FIND HIS DRIVERS LICENSE. SECRET SERVICE QUESTIONS HIM. SECRET SERVICE? I DONT. WHAT? SEE A BUNCH OF CARS GO BY. WERE GOING THE WRONG WAY. YEAH. WALKER SAYS HE HAD TWO BEERS AND WAS CONFUSED. IF THE VICE PRESIDENT WAS IN TOWN. ANY IDEA KAMALA HARRIS WAS IN TOWN? WELL, I GUESS I DID GET THE DRIVER RIGHT OFF THE HIGHWAY. RICHLAND. WHERE HE GOT ON THE HIGHWAY? YEAH. WHAT WAS LATER? THE SECRET SERVICE TRIES TO FIGURE OUT HIS MOTIVATION. IF THERE WAS ONE FOR DRIVING THE WRONG WAY. ARE YOU MOTIVATED BY ANY KIND OF EXTREMISM GROUP? ARE YOU INVOLVED OR ASSOCIATED WITH ANY KIND OF GROUPS? NO. DEPUTIES EVENTUALLY TAKE HIM OFF THE INTERSTATE AND GIVE HIM A FIELD SOBRIETY TEST, WHERE HE REPEATEDLY STUMBLES. ONE, TWO. HELLO? AND HE AGREES TO A BREATHALYZER TEST. I PASSED. ALL RIGHT, SO YOURE YOURE AT A .252. OKAY. SO THATS THATS MORE THAN THREE TIMES THE LEGAL LIMIT WHEN YOURE GOING TO BE PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR OWI TONIGHT. OKAY. INCREDIBLE VIDEO THERE, JAMES. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE ELECTION DAY. HIS ATTORNEY SAID WALKER MEANT NO HARM IN A COURT HEARING LAST WEEK. HIS ATTORNEY TOLD 12 NEWS THIS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ELECTION OR THE FACT THAT VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS WAS SIMPLY DRIVING BY. WALKER, CHARGED WITH SECOND DEGREE
