SANTA FE (KRQE) — Governor Susana Martinez says she regrets the way she handled a late-night phone call to Santa Fe police following a noise complaint involving a party for the governor’s staff held at a posh Santa Fe hotel.

Recordings of the phone call obtained by KRQE News 13 reveal a conversation between emergency dispatchers and the governor, as she tries to convince police that there’s no need for them to respond to the complaint early Sunday morning.

On several occasions, Martinez pressures the dispatcher and hotel staff to reveal the identity of who made the complaint. The dispatcher and hotel staff refuse.

At the end of the recorded call, Martinez, referring to the officers who arrived at the hotel, tells dispatchers: “You can call them off.”
