Santa Fe High head volleyball coach Diana Ronquillo is facing drunken-driving charges stemming from an arrest in February.

Ronquillo was charged with a first-offense DWI and was cited for failure to maintain a traffic lane after being stopped by a Tesuque Tribal Police officer on Feb. 23.

Ronquillo, who has been the Demonettes' head coach for four years, declined to comment on the matter. Her attorney, Dan Cron, said the Santa Fe District Attorney's Office has not responded to his motion for discovery evidence, which he filed March 7. Ronquillo pleaded not guilty to the charges on the same day.

"They haven't given that to us," Cron said. "We haven't gotten so much as a police report. Until we can get that and process the information, it's hard at this point to tell you what the final resolution will be."

Cron said a trial date has been set, but did not have it available.

Roderick Thompson, Santa Fe assistant district attorney, and Santa Fe Public Schools superintendent Bobbie Gutierrez did not return phone messages left by The New Mexican. Santa Fe High's principal, Daniel Webb, referred comment regarding Ronquillo's coaching status to SFPS' human resources department.

Ronquillo is the second Santa Fe High coach who has faced such charges in the last two years. Head boys basketball coach Lenny Roybal was arrested in 2006, but eventually pled guilty to a lesser charge of careless driving. Roybal also was arrested on the same charge while head coach at Española Valley.

According to the criminal complaint obtained by The New Mexican, Tesuque police officer Aaron Arguelles observed Ronquillo driving a silver 2004 BMW, which was traveling north on U.S. 84/285 at a slow rate of speed in Tesuque.

Arguelles clocked the car at 35 mph, well below the 65-mph speed limit, and it was backing up other vehicles behind it. He wrote that when he pulled the car over, it almost struck a metal guard rail.

The complaint stated Ronquillo slurred her speech while Arguelles asked about her destination and where she had been. Ronquillo said she was "very fatigued" and denied drinking any alcoholic beverages.

Arguelles reportedy issued a written warning for failure to maintain a minimum safe speed, then asked Ronquillo, who was wearing high-heeled shoes, to step out of the car and perform the standard field sobriety tests, which she failed and was arrested.

The complaint revealed two Breathalyzer tests recorded Ronquillo's blood-alcohol content at .10 and .11, above the state's legal limit of .08. Ronquillo was transported to the Santa Fe County Detention Center.
