A Santa Fe police lieutenant was arrested early Sunday on suspicion of aggravated DWI after he almost struck a Rio Rancho police car.

Stephen C. Ryan, 44, of Rio Rancho, is charged with aggravated driving while under the influence of intoxicating liquors or drugs and failure to maintain lanes, according to a criminal complaint.
Ryan, an officer with the Santa Fe Police Department, was put on administrative leave Monday pending a revocation and/or court proceedings, Santa Fe Police Deputy Chief Abram Anaya said.
Ryan refused to submit to an alcohol breath test, but about two hours later asked to take it, the report says. He said he was taking four types of medication and had drunk one beer earlier. He was taken to the Sandoval County Detention Center.
