Arrested driver's ID cleared up

The Santa Fe County Sheriff's Department identified a man who drove the wrong way down U.S. 84/285 a week ago while allegedly drunk as a 40-year-old undocumented Guatemalan, according to a police report.

The man was first identified as Julio Hernandez, 35, of Santa Fe, but after checking with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency, deputies discovered the man's real name was Carlos Morales-Lemus, according to a police report.

Morales-Lemus allegedly drove north in the highway's southbound lanes, and a deputy had to force his car to the center divider to get him to stop, police said.
