class bring we'll get her situated do y'all want me to take the base too I have the bas1 they get touch with somebody that's going to come get them yeah they might want the base because they no not my 2-year-old even sit in the seat like that still all the patents missing out of it Ashley was taken to the police department where she was told about why she was being arrested in the welfare of the baby okay so I'll tell you where we're at so so far in this okay and then I'll answer any questions that you have so we were originally called to Walmart this morning to check on the welfare of you and a child okay they had some somebody had some concerns I don't know who that person is because I wasn't assigned to that call all right I took my kid in Walmart and these people were being very snotty to me came up like her head's Ming to much and being very snobby mhm so I came back later and I noticed one of the same people people that I responded snobby to that was being snobby to me first and I know this that was the very girl when I came back they contact police just to be B okay so after that incident at Walmart we get the report that your vehicle has been involved in a hit andun crash okay now that I've been trying to ask about I do not know what in the world anybody's talking about because a car came up and took off my side R you uhhuh I did not hit anybody side R you I'm upset that somebody took mine off oh so you're saying somebody hit you not that you hit somebody else and I'm very very upset about that because I have no way how to track them down I have no way can ask know how to fix that so can I ask you this if you were so very concerned about somebody crashing into your car why didn't you call us because my number one concern was I zero miles per hour like how you can hit the little button and it shows you how many miles you have and it was on zero so my first concern was get to Walmart pick up the Walmart to Walmart get the money and put some gas in the car before you break down on the side of the road then handle everything else then okay okay so my concern with now speaking with you and having a little interaction with you is that I smell the odor of alcohol and alcoholic beverage coming from your person okay so what I'm going to no problem so what I'm going to offer you now is the opportunity to uh do some field s testing is that something that you want to do explain please sir okay so there are three different tests that we use to gauge whether or not somebody's impaired cuz I'm more concerned about my child my money and get home okay so your child is safe okay your child is going to be checked out at a hospital oh that's my question bond out MH what I do with my kid can I go pick up my kid okay so we have a couple different things that we're going to have to ask you and get through with your child whether or not there is is another Guardian that can come take possession of the child and if there's not then we will be calling the department of child and family servic and there are some family members like that okay so and all of that's in the works those other officers are making sure that the welfare of your one Monon old is okay all right and I'll have some more questions about that here in a little bit but do you want to do field sobriety testing to deter so I can determine whether or not you're impaired can I ask you they pick them up and I pick them up from them is that how that goes yes Ma eventually you would get your child back from the Department of Family Services and explain the other please the other what Phil soety so I'm asking you if you want to submit to field sobriety testing so I can determine whether or not you are impaired okay can you explain that to me yes ma'am so there are three different tests that we do one is an eye test and the other are psychophysical tests okay one is called a walking turn and the other one's called a one leg stand each one of them has a portion of instructions in the beginning of them it would be probably not beneficial for me to go over all of the instructions right now before we start the test the way that they are administered is that the instructions are given before each test before I do it yes ma'am you're going to walk nine steps along here okay leave your front foot planed on the ninth step take a series of small steps turn yourself around and then walk nine back in the same fashion that you took the first KN so same chel just my back to you yes well so I'll kind of be on the side of you um I won't be directly behind you the whole time where you are now so you're going to walk nine steps forward turn around and walk nine steps back okay so get back in the start position for me okay and whenever you're ready you may begin one two three four five 6 7 8 9 one 2 three four five 6 78 n all right that do it right all right okay so what I'm going to ask you to do is to pick one leg off off of the ground about 6 in and it doesn't matter which leg you're going to hold that foot approximately 6 in off the ground pointing your toe forward making your foot parallel like mine is don't do it yet and with your arms down by your side you're going to count 1,1 1,2 1,3 so on and so forth until I tell you to stop okay do you have anything medically that you think would prohibit you from doing that vertigo a little bit not terrible okay so do you want to attempt the test or no it's one for for how many seconds about 30 seconds you would count 1,1 1,2 1003 so on and so forth until you're told to stop all right okay wait give me one second all right are you ready okay you may begin count out loud I'm sorry you need to count out loud like you were instructed to do okay can we restart I thought you were going to count no ma'am I'm not going to count and I count to what number you keep counting in the fashion of 1,1 1002 1003 so on and so forth until you're told to stop okay do you understand the instructions do you have any questions about the instructions okay you may begin 1001 1002 13 10004 1005 1006 1007 1008 1009 110 1001 112 13456 178 201920 1021 102223 [Music] 13425 1026 Ah that's good

might not remember drinking but I'm telling you right now that you have alcohol inside of your body you are impaired and that is why you're being arrested for it if I had no suspicions of the fact that you were impaired you would not be being arrested okay I'm not going to sit here and argue with you I'm going to tell you the facts you are impaired you do have alcohol in your system and you should not have been driving that car you you think that no I know that okay those are facts that is not a matter of opinion the matter of opinion is that you think that you are not impaired well I
