Police were called around 2:30 a.m. on July 29 to the Holiday Inn at Wolf Point.
The incident report heavily redacted but matched to Hernandez by age and description says a man was running around naked on the 17th floor.

NM House Democrat accused of ‘running around naked’ at Chicago hotel withdraws from District 4 race

New Mexico House Rep. Joseph Hernandez, D-Shiprock, has announced he will not seek reelection after a police report and witnesses implicated him in an apparently alcohol-fueled public nudity episode at a Chicago hotel last month.

Hernandez released a statement at 4 p.m. Tuesday announcing he was dropping out of the contested race, which decides who will represent parts of San Juan County, Farmington and a swath of Navajo Nation in the New Mexico House of Representatives. ...

An incident report from Chicago Police Department and two eyewitnesses who spoke to the Journal alleged that the 38-year-old House member was "running around naked" and "banging and knocking on other guests' doors" on the 17th floor of the Holiday Inn at Wolf Point early the morning of July 29.

Hernandez initially said little when asked about the incident, referring to a "negative experience" with security and police. He claimed the encounter was "over quickly" after he found new accommodations in the Windy City. ...

In his statement on Monday, Hernandez said he has "challenges with alcohol" and seemed to leave open the possibility that he would still face Ellison come November.

Hernandez's decision to drop his reelection bid marks the latest in a string of alcohol-related incidents involving New Mexico legislators. ...
