SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — The woman who met police in the hotel lobby at 1:30 a.m. waved them off a complaint of rowdy behavior and demanded in a sing-song voice to know who called them.

She was New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, the host of a hotel ballroom holiday party for staff members that spilled upstairs into a noisy fourth floor room and balcony, prompting complaints from other hotel guests.

Audio recordings of the awkward exchange between the governor and police are the latest difficulty to hit Martinez and could spell trouble for a rising star within the Republican Party.
