New Mexico mom faces 3rd DUI charge, had child blow into interlock device to start vehicle: report

A New Mexico mother with three children in the car recently faced her third arrest for impaired driving – this time after having one of the children blow into an ignition interlock device so she could start the vehicle, according to a report.

The responding troopers learned during their investigation that Lujan had instructed an 11-year-old child to blow into the interlock device so the vehicle could start, the report said. The device was installed in Lujan’s vehicle after a previous DUI arrest in February 2019 in which Lujan was pulled over for traveling at about 117 miles per hour, according to KRQE.
