Thank you for trying to get him to do that. So. We were sitting at Kent-Des Moines Road on this side because I don't know north from south. So, this side. We were sitting at the red light. We had pulled up right as it turned red. So, we're sitting there for a really, really, really long time. They had pulled The other car pulled up behind us. I had seen it. They were stopped. We were chatting This car like Yes, this car. We're chatting for a few minutes. And then all of a sudden, we were jerked forward and we knew that we'd been hit from the back. Okay. All right. Um after the crash happened, he asked, "Did we just get hit?" And I went, "Yes." And he got out of the car to talk to the driver and get information from them like pictures and whatever. And they proceeded to back up and I thought >> So you personally didn't speak with the other guy? Okay. >> not interact with them at all. Um my head they were backing up to maybe like pull off to the side of the road with us. Uh but they cut across to the right-hand turn lane and that's when my dad chased after or whatever happened. I couldn't see fully because there was two cars in between us. Um so but he somehow the vehicle stopped and I saw him taking photos and then my dad was walking down the um sidewalk when the driver of this vehicle got out and started to chase after indicated that he was going after him. And then that's when I was like I'm going to call 911 cuz at that point it I had felt escalated to the point that maybe something could have potentially happened. Okay. All right. Smells like an alcohol. Um he refused All right. His wife said he was drinking last night. He said he was drinking last night. He refused any type of test. But I I think that's enough for the the blood warrant. You have the collision itself makes it no sense. Normal driver wouldn't do that. And then you have the odor of alcohol. And he I did notice uh he was a he's a little unstable on his feet over here. Okay. Sorry, sir. I had to close that door cuz we're moving, okay? So my name's Officer Castro. Um everything's audio recorded, okay? I understand they read you your rights and you don't want to talk to us about anything right now, okay? I'm just going to let you know what's going on, all right? So um right now you're under arrest for DUI, okay? So the part of the process is we're going to be going to the county jail. I'm going to uh contact a judge and get a blood search warrant to get a sample of your blood, okay? So I just want to be as transparent as possible and let you know what's going on, all right? So I'm just going to put the seatbelt on. Oh, it's not going to work. Oh, they already tried it? Okay. >> Yeah, I tried it maxed out. Okay. All right. Understood. All right. I'm going to close this door, okay? Just watch your leg, all right? The man was taken to the hospital for a blood draw, which confirmed the presence of alcohol in his system. He was charged with DUI, hit-and-run, and resisting arrest.
