Our Eyes tell us that Chief's Breen’s fiancée was charged with AGGRAVATED DWI last month. She apparently was involved in a crash and attempted to leave the scene of the crash. This entire case has been "hush hush." Our Eyes also tell us that this defendant was name dropping and stating that she could get away with the DWI.
Chief Breen has been heavy handed with his staff when it comes to DWI. Since the crash, Breen has been silent following the Berry Administrations’ policy on being a hypocrite. If anything defines the Berry Administration it's hypocrisy. “Saying one thing and doing another.” The City claims fiscal responsibility while creating and re-creating “cushy” jobs. The most recent farce was for a “misery case” of TJ Wilham, who favors the movie star, Kathy Bates from the movie “Misery.” A little bit of Eye humor.
Our eyes told us about this situation involving Breen hypocrisy which started with a March 2, 2011, posting on the local news site of Craigslist that stated the following:
"Kimberly Swift , Fire Chief Jim Breen's fiancée arrested for leaving the scene of an accident and aggravated DWI on 2-19-11. Case no. 110015191. Repeatedly said Jim Breen and Darren White will get her off.
Let's see if Darren gets away with another one."
Some of our Eyes confirmed that Chief Breen is engaged to a Kimberly Swift.
The only case that our staff could locate was a Kimberly Swift with a pending Metro DWI crash court case. The case number for Metro Court is DW 67911 (see here). The Kimberly Swift in question was arrested Sunday morning, February 19, 2011, at 12:07 AM at 3000 Central N.E. and charged with “Aggravated DWI and Leaving the Scene of an Accident Involving Death or Personal Injury.” Swift ask the policemen to call Jim Breen, the Fire Chief, or to call Darren White. What is even more worrisome than a cover up is the victim of this crash; they will want justice, just like you or the Eye would.
After publicly firing and humiliating city employees for lesser charges, Breen's fiancée being treated "hush hush" and much less publicly is another one of the Berry Administration hypocrisy’s. The Eye anticipates some type of courtroom shenanigans’. If this case involved a regular city employee or their significant other, it would be a headline on the paper or the breaking news story on TV. Why does this case get the “VIP treatment?” No more secrets, no more lies Berry; we mean White (Darren White runs the City, Berry is just a bobbing head).
The Eye will continue to provide information that comes our way and the Eye always welcomes your input.
Below is an excerpt from a letter that the Eye received. The Eye thanks all for their patronage.
Eye,
“…This situation has been frustrating to many AFD and APD personnel familiar to the situation because it appears there is a concentrated effort to sweep this under the carpet and get Ms. Swift off the hook from some very serious criminal charges…The only person in a position to stop that and ensure justice is you. Please let people know what's going on. If you ask for more information and ask people to contact you like I am, they will step forward.”
Thank you and God bless.

Disgusting, as usual. Who is going to stop these idiots? I would like to know about the victim in this case. What injuries and life-long problems are they going to have to live through? Once again, the 11th floor is allowing the destruction of people's lives just to suit their own purposes. DISGUSTING! Once again, Darren White's name is right in the middle of this crap. Hmmm..perhaps she is a close friend of Peaches? Sounds like her type. The charges keep stacking against these idiots yet nothing is happening. Who is going to finally stand up and clean this up?
FMB!!! FDW!!!
Cover up after cover up with this administration. The TJ termination/reassignment...Darren White with trutouch and Arhensfield to name a few...Chief Shultz civil rights violations...Robert Perry's anti-union assault...city reps leaking personal info to the media...and now the FD gets in on the action.
WTF? This is a total culture of corruption! White and Peaches. Berry isn't a business owner. TrueTouch. Breen's sweetie is loaded lethal weapon. Brad Ahrensfield gets scapegoated. TJ Wilham gets a hush job. On and on and on!!
What's really disgusting is how city employees who DON'T have political connections get hammered on the FRONT PAGE for less than this and she'll probably walk!
FMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This city's corruptive ways are too big for anyone in New Mexico. What agency will take this crew down. Is the democratic party the only ones who can? Can't seem to trust the FBI or US Marshall or other federal agencies to look into anything.
What say you DEMS, Gary King up to the task?
Can't bang on Berry anymore, he's so scared of Darren it's pathetic.
Man will you grow a set.
If he can't or won't, he's just the same as they are; corrupt.
The way he portrayed himself during the election I thought we were electing John Wayne. Truth be told we elected Mary Poppins.
The night she was arrested she was screaming about knowing Whiten and the Chief and how they were going to take care of this for her.
One of the councilors assistants got popped for DWI last week. Still has a job. Her lawyer is the city's lobbyist. Now Breen's gal gets popped and her lawyer is Sam Bregman. There is an us and a them in this town and us need to start fighting them. There's more of us.
BERRY, YOU ARE A JOKE! MAD ABOUT "FMB" BUT YOU DO NOTHING ABOUT REAL CRIME AND CORRUPTION!
WHAT HAVE THEY GOT ON YOU? IS THE WIFE A BEARD?
Saw KOB and Berry says crime is down. No kidding. When you don't report it or prosecute it what do you expect?
Their is no fairness in apd. We have sgts who are doing TDYs anD what is the purpose of that. Well we all know the purpose. Just like Officers have to do TDYs or know someone. Why can't there ever be a fiar test anD let that person transfer fair and square. That's another sign of corruption folks.
Call Mother's Against Drunk Driving see if they really believe in their cause.
Mother's Against Drunk Driving do not have the guts to stand up to Darren or Shultz.
CHIEF BREEN; YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE CARLOS DOMINGUEZ A HAPPY MAN. EVERY TIME I GO TO SUPPLY, I SEE A CAPTAIN AND A DEPUTY CHIEF. I THOUGHT THE TAXPAYERS PAID TO HAVE FIREMEN OUT IN THE FIELD, NOT GIVING OUT POTS AND PANS. I WANT TO DO THIS WITH A TWENTY YEAR RETIREMENT PLAN, FIREMEN BELONG AT FIRE STATIONS. LET THE CIVILIANS HAND OUT THE SUPPLYS. THE TAX PAYERS DESERVE BETTER! YOU SIS ARE A JOKE!
So will Kim Swift and the City Council assistant picture be in the Journal for DWI like the rest of us ? I bet not.
Agreed, MADD will do nothing. They don't have the guts. If it has anything to with some unknown person, they're all over like stink on a turd. But if it's anyone with a "name"....fugetaboutit.
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE FANS VIDEO ON THIS ONE.
IS IT TRUE SHE WAS WALKED OUT OF MDC...NO HOLD???
HMMMM? Fire Chief Breen states that he has been broken up for a few weeks. I think not. I would care to say that Chief Breen split the scene and left Ms. Swift to take the blame. Another case of Berry/White covering another scandal.
I expect that if I'm ever arrested on DWI that I won't be booked into MDC. I want Kimberly Swift treatment.
I always thought all DWI arrestees were supposed to be locked up immediately following arrest but I guess in NM that's not the case. No wonder NM has a DWI problem.
She was ROR'ed - I think, but am not sure, this is standard for 1st time DUI offenders? Even agg DUI? So the original judge recused herself, and now it's set for a pre-trial conference in front of Judge Rogers on 4/18. Eye, you may want to attend this -- how much you want to bet there's "not enough evidence" to move forward? Keep your Eye open!!
They are still together...or at least that's what their fb says...Jim Darling is his Fb name...how cute!

Hey Chief, we're sending you a message! FMB!!
LOL!!!
FANS HERE: The video will be up within the hour.
So, who's in the car with ms. swift? Was it Peaches?
some body apparently was.
"Gee Senator Kennedy(Ted) was there anyone else in the car when you drove it off the bridge?"
Kinda like when Marla Tellez was in the back seat when Fierro killed that guy up in Santa Fe.
Oh, you didn't know about that?
He couldn't stop either as he had to drop her off somewhere. That's why she was texting him.
Getting back; I guess the details will come out as I'm sure there are lots more we don't know.
Another assignment for TJ to cover; literally.
Chief. How does it feel to have everyone checking out the personal stuff you post on Facebook? Lot of fun isn't it.
Pre trial changed to 5/02 in front of Benavidez
Hell, now rumor has Chief Breen driving.
Someone go wake up Ted Kennedy; ask him if he was driving.
Maybe no one was awake when the crash happened.
Ok they are already playing the judge game. The case will keep going from one judge to another because they will all claim they know the chief or swift. The case will go to District COURT and will lay around there. Then it will come back to Metro Court and be dismissed on the six month rule. I have seen it all before.
I saw this and immediately thought of you know who....lol

Where's the lamestream media? Too lazy to report a real story? Stop buying the bs. Aggravated DWI and leaving the scene of an accident? Why won't you report it? Might kill your dream of becoming the next TJ?
SWIFT SHOULD ASK FOR A TDY TO DWI UNIT AND PUT IN FOR THE NEXT OPENING. MAYBE THEN SOMEONE WILL NOTICE HOW CORRUPT APD IS.
"Do as I say, not as I do"
This mentality is getting very old and tiresome.
How about, "What's good for the Goose is good for the Gander"
We thought we elected a mayor that was going to end all the shenanigans at city hall.
Guess we were duped.
What we did in reality, was let the Trojan Horse into the city, with Darren and Ray hiding inside.
The council staffer Shields and Swift both got RORd. 2nd DWI for shields and aggravated for Swift. Helps to have friends in low places.
Saw the pictures.
Seriously Darren go see a Periodontist.
Sounds like it's just one big party for Darren and his hanger ons.
Got a real gem there chief. Out getting bombed by herself. Where was her man that night?
the bathroom wall of 15 years ago! sooooo true
Re; bathroom wall of 15 years ago!
WTF?! Pervert? You are obviously in the bathroom reading it yourself...Low life...If the truth hurts, don't read it, this way you can be safe in your moms' basement.
@12:28 - If you know something about the story, please share! I sure know that if people were talking about me and if their facts were incorrect, I'd be setting the story straight. I've not seen one story that the Eye has posted where someone has stepped up and disputed the allegations. Where does that lead one to think? Ummm, that they must be true! The only person who has had the guts to stand up for themselves is Brad Ahrensfield. You know why? Because he has nothing to hide and only the truth to reveal. This woman was charged with agg dwi and seriously injuring the other person she so carelessly crashed into. Now, Darren and Co. are trying to cover it up. This story stinks of more corruption. Bathroom wall my ass! This should be on the front page of the newspaper!!!
Disappointing yes, but no surprise here. This has been going on for years. APD covering APD officers, etc. at all times, regardless of the outcome. Did we forget Barboa's incident a few years back? Wake up!!!
Typical and disgusting! As a second generation firefighter I must say this is the worst admin since Saavedra hired that clown from Colo to be fire chief in the early 90's! At least that admin thought they were doing right. These guys though are all about personal vendettas, cover-ups, lies, and hypocrisy! APD and AFD must stand together, be united, and stay strong as many of us will still be here when all those morons are long gone! Forever My Brothers and oh yeah FMB! !!
I was looking at K. Swift’s on-line Metro court case event log a few days ago. How is it that they can document events in advance? Looks like APD are not the only ones giving her special treatment. How can the court falsify the record like this?
Last I recall not showing up in court would get you a bench warrant for immediate arrest. Plus some fines. But I guess that is for just us regular Schmoes.

What was the barboa incident
There it is 04-01-11 front page of Journal. MR,and MRS. John Q. Public charged with DWI. D.A. Brandenberg to the rescue because she is so hard on DWI. What about Swift, not a word. GEE I wonder if all the judges will recuse themself on the Q. Public case. Here is a message to the Journal,Brandenberg and the Judges from us the public. YOU ARE ALL IN BED TOGETHER, AND DON'T THINK WE THE STUPID PUBLIC WONT REMEMBER !
Ok all the readers of THE EYE AND FANS, take a stand and stop buying the Journal. If there is no Journal there is no spin for Berry and his gang of corruption.
Charlie Moore is the city editor at the Journal. His wife is a upper manager for Parks and Rec. As long as she's taken care of he ain't gonna mess with Berry.
Albuquerque. The city where incest is best.
Eye, post the Barboa incident. Karma came to him. His wife was pulling a "Barboa." Commander on-site. Gunplay.
If Breen left Kimberly after this he really is slime!
To April 2,2011 5:21PM Tell us more.
"If" Breen leaves Kimberly? When is anyone going to realize Kimberly left Breen last year. I as a citizen of this community hope justice is served. None of us know the true facts, that will have to be determined in court!
I took a look at the case info available online and it appears the case is "continued" with the next hearing on June 1, 2011.
maybe chief breen can come up 75 goals and objectives to get the charges dropped.
Let's not forget; this is a government by the people. There isn't any long any statute or any other sort of restriction that states we cannot recall an elected official. Let's stop whining and stop complaining, and just referendum recall these corrupt politicians and elected officials.
Kimberly Swift's case has been delayed again. The pretrail conference with Judge Benavidez has been reset (AGAIN). Scheduled for June 30th.
Case is continued again with next hearing set for July 26 at 1:30. Still in pretrial conference stage as its been since April 12th. Repeatedly rescheduled. Hearing scheduled for 5/2/2011 had the following comment: "3/23 and 4/26 no responses. Reset PTC." Comment for 6/1/2011 hearing: "Subpeona's pending on 6/21/11. Reset PTC on 6/30/11"; Comment for today's scheduled hearing: "Two officer case, Romero FTA for subpeona, called in advance. Reset PTC".
I note Officer Romero is listed as the arresting officer.
Case was decided today. All charges dismissed. According to online court info the prosecutor was "unable to prosecute"

Copy of Criminal Complaint narrative:
On 02/19/2011 at approximately 0007 hours Kimberly Swift was parked facing north on BrynMawr St SE at Central when her vehicle rolled backwards and struck a parked car, see APD Report# 110500013. Swift then left the scene of the accident and a short time later was stopped by Officer L******* APD# 3*** in an alley north of Central off of Richmond. I (Officer R******) arrived and made contact with the driver of the vehicle, Kimberly Swift. Swift had a strong odor of alcohol, bloodshot watery eyes and slurred speech. Swift was eating gum/candy and stated that she had consumed alcohol. I had Swift exit the vehicle and I administered her field sobriety tests. Swift showed signs of impairment on all three tests. I placed Swift under arrest for driving under the influence of an intoxicating liquor or drug and I place her in the right rear side of my police vehicle. I transported Swift to the PTC at 4th and Roma where I read her the New Mexico Implied Consent Act. Swift by her actions refused to be tested. Swift was turned over to PTC personnel for transport and booking into MDC.
