cops sometimes let the suspect slide due to some serious reasons but this guy got away with a DUI for simply being too cool I don't think you're under the influence I think you're starting to get there yeah um that's what I'm going right in here yeah yeah no that's what I mean uh the police saw a vehicle that failed to use its turn signal when pulling over to the parking lot that's when they met James McCollough who was just on his way to the local liquor store you didn't use your turn signal pulling in yo actually yeah I know but when you pulled in the driveway off the public roadway then I meet with my sister and them okay that's fine I'm just just yeah okay okay all right that's fine let's see look you're being honest with me man you're cool that's that's fine with me yeah I'm

technically tell the vehicle I probably won't I probably won't okay I'm definitely I'm sorry no you're fine right here let me just call this this plate in 48 10 radio while the cop gets all the checks done he and the suspect indulge in a small talk at first glance James doesn't give out any signs of intoxication but the officer suspects the smell of alcohol is this yours it's gonna be playing the vehicle Paul 487-360 yeah no no I was from asking who's the owner who is who what's the relationship your sister okay little corner store right there yeah man why'd you come to Cleveland dude I said

take a look but I'm just saying like your eyes are really glassy and I can smell it coming off here right all right man all right just take a seat for me all right as if it wasn't enough it turned out James already had a warrant in Ohio yet still the officer seems highly reluctant to do anything about it he even apologizes to James for putting him into handcuffs all right just for now you know you have a warrant before I'm worth we don't we don't know yet figure it out a little bit do you know what you know what you know what it's for no uh we don't know yet either I'm just asking you yeah you

copy that all right cool it's out of the pickup radius yeah that's perfect how about see what sorry bro like you know we just got to do it you know what I mean but like I said it was like 2006. here's the thing that word man still told me that as long as you got you know never come to Mansfield yeah I know where about it so is it traffic yeah oh okay that's what I mean so yeah just stay away from anfield the officer doesn't pay much attention to the 16 year old Warren and proceeds to take off the handcuffs but as he's concerned about a potential DUI James is asked to dual field sobriety test all right so I'm gonna have you stand feet together arms of your sides all right what I'm gonna have you do keep your head still you're gonna look at the tip my fingers your eyes and your eyes only do not move your head do you understand all right so look at my activity I'm looking at the finger tipping my finger you see it just fall with your eyes and your eyes only okay oh you're moving your head

right you're good you're good all right man uh so you just how much do you say at the drink just the one wine all right uh I'm just being honest honest with you you did you're showing signs of impairment um I don't think you're under the influence I think you're you're starting to get there yeah um that's what I'm going right in here yeah yeah no that's what I mean uh I think you're starting to get there I believe you that's that's the only drink you had yeah that's it all right um now is there there's nothing in that vehicle right okay so you would you mind if we went through that excuse me would you mind if we open we went through your vehicle well I don't want to be responsible if she's can I have her come no no like she's not involved with this so I don't want to be standing some minute I don't know what's in there and she goes in there and searching not saying there's anything in yeah that's right okay that's right I don't I don't think it's nothing I mean if you don't think there's anything in there then what's the difference but I don't want to be responsible saying yeah well I mean we take that into consideration is what I'm telling you oh okay yeah okay all right well we're gonna take a look real quick and then um we're gonna get you out of here I said we're gonna take a look real quick and then we'll get you out of here all right all right man hey don't forget about your shoes yeah grab your your shoes all right bro so I'm kind of helping you out here you have a bunch of suspensions um I'm writing you for for two of them and uh the turn signal that's it and then the last thing I am ready for is the open container and then that's it um you you drink more than one yeah you did it's all right I'm not we're not going for that you drink more than one it's whatever you're already here you got a room just don't meet the rest of the night because we're over here all the time yeah that's it that's the only piece of advice you got for you um so you do have a court date it's gonna be August 17 2020. yeah so I mean you can call and tell them like hey I'm out of state you know is there anything oh you will be yeah okay all right so there's that uh do you have any questions yeah so I mean I think it's fair I mean technically I probably could have you know and you could turn your car if you really wanted to but he's not doing it Andy could sell the car but he's not doing that you know I think that's I think that's fair all right all right man yeah have a good one all right all right yep despite James failing the field sobriety test the officers still refuse to arrest him maybe he just wanted a match James coolness in any case James received charges only for the turn signal and an open container and was off to enjoy his bottle of wine do you think the Cop made a fair compromise or should he have arrested James let us know in the comments and don't forget to subscribe
