It all started early Saturday morning when a New Mexico State Police Officer spotted a Dodge Challenger heading westbound on I-40 near University. The officer clocked the driver at 124 mph in a 65.
The criminal complaint stated that the driver, 20-year-old Jaymin Giro, was weaving in and out of traffic and nearly hit other drivers on the road. That’s when Albuquerque Police Air Support came in and tracked the chase from above.
The officer caught up with Giron at Rio Grande and Central and attempted to get him to stop but he refused. The complaint goes on to say Giron turned off his headlights and ran multiple red lights before going eastbound on I-40 leaving Albuquerque.
