On November 28th, 2025,
Flagler County deputies in Palm Coast
stopped 27-year-old Kaylee Poe after she
drove the wrong way and failed to yield.
>> Hello, I'm Deputy Mediano with Flagler
County Sheriff's Office, okay? The
reason for the stop today is not only
did I watch you
drive the wrong direction on Palm Coast
Parkway. You went eastbound in a
westbound lane. Okay, so one-way lane.
You went eastbound in that lane, okay?
You pulled out of the apartment complex,
which I watched you turn around in. You
pulled back out. You came back out. You
failed to yield to oncoming traffic.
One, two, you also did not stop
prior to entering a public roadway from
a private roadway. Does that make sense?
Is there any Can you roll this down,
please? I know it's just your child.
What Just roll that down for me. Okay.
>> Um I'm not from here.
>> Okay, well there's big red signs that
say do not enter.
Or wrong way. Or there's one-way signs.
They're all over, okay? With that being
said, you committed multiple traffic
infractions. When I initiated my traffic
stop, you stopped in the very middle of
the of the intersection. Do you
understand that? Do you understand how
dangerous that was for not only your
passenger, but the child in the backseat
of the vehicle for stopping in the
direct intersection
prior to me even initiating my traffic
stop. Does that make sense?
>> Before I even initiated my traffic stop,
before I could turn my lights on,
before I could turn my lights on, you
were in the middle of the intersection.
You had stopped in the middle of the
intersection. You ran the red light and
continued to sit in the middle of the
intersection.
>> Okay. With that being said, step out of
the vehicle for me.
Yep, you can take your seatbelt off.
>> So, why am I stepping out of the
vehicle?
>> You stepping out of the vehicle for our
safety, for your safety, because I
believe at this point you might be
intoxicated. You are not listening to
any of my instructions. You ran past the
You ran past the red light. You didn't
stop. You continued forward, and you
cannot answer simple instructions. So, I
need you to step out of the vehicle.
>> Okay, sit back here for me.
Is your driver's license in the car?
Okay, is there a registration or
anything to the vehicle?
>> Uh
>> Yep, that's fine.
>> Yeah, but
>> Where's your driver's license at?
>> My driver's license is in my purse.
>> Can she get it for me?
>> Uh
Yeah, she can get it.
>> Okay.
Ma'am, can you do me a favor, can you
Can you give me her driver's license?
She said it was in her purse.
Yeah.
Oh, baby.
>> I know, sorry. I know Sharda is doing me
a favor to take me to his dad cuz it
>> I hadn't even lit you up with my lights
and you were You run the red light and
you were sitting in the middle of the
intersection.
>> are you talking about? This one
>> This one right here.
>> This one?
>> You ran the red light and you were
sitting in the middle of the
intersection.
>> You had your lights on.
>> That was before I even had my lights on.
You can watch the actual video of it
from my dashcam, okay? Is there a reason
why you might be having such a hard time
following traffic laws tonight?
>> Yes, I'm coming from Orlando.
>> Okay.
>> And
we're trying to figure out what we're
doing cuz okay, we're supposed to be
dropping his son off.
>> Okay.
>> And
I thought that we were going to Savannah
>> Okay.
>> to
meet up with um
the the baby father's mom.
>> Okay.
>> I thought that she was going to meet us
there.
>> Can you look at getting it out of her
purse, please?
>> I don't even know where my purse
I'm so sorry.
>> hers, too?
>> This isn't my car. I don't know what it
looks like.
>> Okay.
>> I just have his little backpack.
>> Okay, let me go
Let me go ask.
Hey, buddy. Hi.
>> Sorry, if he cries I don't like
>> No, he's fine.
Let me go ask her which one it is.
Which uh bag is it in? There's like four
of them over there.
Your license.
>> The black

>> No, um
>> Cuz there's the big one she just looked
in and then the smaller one that's

one. Marc Jacobs is the
Is it the Marc Jacobs? Yeah.
>> Yes.
>> There we go, perfect. Thank you.
>> Do you have a medical marijuana card?
Cuz I can smell it coming from your
vehicle. It's very strong, there's no
doubting it, okay?
You don't have a medical card? Okay,
have you smoked in the vehicle, had it
in the vehicle, anything of that nature?
>> I don't smoke cigarettes. No, I smoke
cigarettes.
>> You smoke cigarettes? Okay, have you had
anything to drink tonight?
>> No, I took a bath.
>> You have
>> I took a bath last night at 10:00 p.m.
>> Okay, cuz the your mannerisms, you
having a hard time standing, you're
driving the wrong way on the road, a lot
of a lot of cues are pointing to you
being possibly intoxicated or under the
influence of something. Does that make
sense?
>> Um
I'm just
>> Okay. Here, I'm going to take this real
quick. All right, hang tight here for
me, okay?
Hey.
Can you check uh
she's saying she hasn't had anything to
drink. I'm not smelling anything. Car
reeks of
and she's slurring, her eyes are
bloodshot, she's driving the wrong way
on the road, she's not listening to
instructions.
>> Okay.
>> Can you do your your evaluation and see
if there's anything there and
>> do my evaluation on the side of the
road.
>> All right.
>> All right.
I can't do that. You have to she has to
10-15 at the jail.
I can't do my evaluation.
>> All right, I'm going to
I'm going to toss this car.
>> Because she showed signs of slurred
speech and trouble balancing, the
officer started sobriety tests to check
if she was under the influence.
>> All right.
Um so, here's the deal, okay? Deputy
Medina's already explained it to you. Uh
we're doing a a DUI investigation, okay?
All right.
Now's your time to be honest. Have you
consumed any alcohol tonight?
Okay, have you consumed any narcotics?
Marijuana, ecstasy, heroin, cocaine,
prune juice, I don't know, anything at
all. Do you take prescription
medication?
No? Okay. All right. So,
I'm going to check your eyes, okay? Do
you have any head trauma?
Have you ever been told you have a TBI?
You would know cuz I would be explaining
to you it's a huge thing.
So,
you've never been told you have a TBI?
Okay. All right. Have you ever been told
by an eye doctor or an optometrist that
you have what's called resting
nystagmus?
No? All right. Do me a favor. Stand with
your feet together like this.
Perfect. Nope, together like this.
All right. Take your hands out of your
pocket, put them down by your side, all
right? Do you see my pretty blue light?
>> Yes.
>> All right. I'm going to move this
around, follow it with your eyes and
your eyes only. Don't move your head,
okay? Do you understand so far?
>> Yes.
>> All right.
All right, let's go up, okay?
One more time.
Okay, stay right there. All right, this
light is going to go around in a series
of circles, okay? All right. It's going
to come close to your nose. I want you
to let your eyes cross naturally, okay?
All right, I'm not going to touch you.
Don't touch me.
All right?
All right.
One more time.
Okay.
All right, you're doing all right.
>> No.
>> This way.

are you talking about, the lights?
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah, after this
>> Um

>> Uh you want to say I got to take
>> Hold on one second. So, we're going to
wait here. Just don't want you to get
hit by a car.
We're going to wait for these cars to
clear and then we're going to cross.
>> You're anemic?
>> Yeah.
>> Okay. Well, that's not what that is.
>> It's a gigantic sign.
>> We're going to go across the street,
okay?
>> All right. Let's go across the road.
All right.
Just come down here for me, okay?
>> Okay.

the line ahead of your left foot with
your with the heel of your right foot
against the toe of your left foot.
Okay. Place your arms down at your
sides.
Maintain this position until I have
completed the instructions. Do not start
to walk until I've told you to do so. Do
you understand these instructions so
far? Do you have any questions about
these instructions so far? Okay. When I
tell you to start, take nine heel-to-toe
steps in the line on the line.
>> All right. So, we're going to be in the
starting position like this, okay? I'm
holding the light. Your arms will be
down by your side. Put your arms down,
okay? All right. You're going to take
nine heel-to-toe steps down this yellow
line counting out loud looking down at
your feet keeping your arms down by your
side, okay? It's going to be one
two
three
four
five and so forth until you get to your
ninth step. Once you get to your ninth
step, leave your lead foot planted on
the ground, take a series of small steps
to turn around, and then nine
heel-to-toe steps back down the yellow
line, okay? 1
2
3
4
5 and so forth until you get to nine.
Once you start the exercise, do not
stop, look down at your feet, keep your
arms down by your side, and count your
steps out loud. Does that make sense?
>> Yeah.
>> Do you have any questions?
>> Uh
no.
>> All right.
Whenever you're ready to begin, you may
begin.
>> I count?
>> Yes, ma'am. You count out loud each
step.

can't help you from that. That's why I
asked you if you had any questions. You
got to continue on.
>> Okay.
All right.
So, 9 9 to turn around.
Cuz this is my ninth step.
>> Okay.

>> We're going to annotate whatever.
>> Yeah, I I have my um
>> Ask him about it.
Ooh.
>> I'll review it. I'll go over it with
him, but
>> You got to learn a shorthand. That's
what getting at.
I don't care. I'd rather come off.
>> All righty. We're going to do that same
position again, okay, with your feet
together and hands at your side, all
right?
Can you take your hands out of your
pockets, please?
I know it's cold. I'm sorry.
Feet together, hands at your side, like
so, like that for a moment, if you
would, okay?
Do not start
Do not start until I tell you to do so.
Do you understand the instructions so
far?
>> Yes, ma'am. Okay.
>> When I tell you to start, raise either
leg
either leg with the foot approximately 6
in off the ground, keeping your foot
parallel to the ground, okay? You can
use either leg, right or left.
>> Either leg.
>> So, like here,
for example.
>> Yeah, so
when she tells you to do so, you're
going to raise either leg of your
choice. You're going to have your foot
parallel to the ground, approximately 6
in. Okay? You're going to look down at
your raised foot, like that. Look down
at your raised foot and count out loud
in this manner: 1,001, 1,002, 1,003,
1,004, 1,005, and so forth, until we
tell you to stop. So, you're going to
keep counting until we tell you to stop.
You're going to look down at your raised
foot with it 6 in off the ground, arms
down by your side, and keeping them both
legs straight, and keep counting until I
tell you to stop.
All right? Does that make sense?
Okay. Which foot are you going to raise?
>> My right.
>> Your right foot? Okay, give me one
second.
>> You may begin.
1,001
1,002, 1,003, 1,004,
1,005,
1,006, 1,007, 1,008,
1,009, 1,0010,
1,0011, 1,0012,
1,0013,
1,0014,
1,0015,
1,0016.
>> All righty, we're going to walk back
over to the patrol cars once we're safe,
okay?
>> Okay.
>> Get over there after you.
>> Uh, where is
>> Yeah.
>> After she failed those field sobriety
exercises, deputies officially arrested
her for driving under the influence.
>> What you step out and then we'll
discuss.
All right, put your butt in first.
Yeah, I know. I know.
Not yet.
I thought I'd call you real quick.
Hey, sir.
Hold it for a second.
Just hold it for a second.
>> Following her arrest, a breath test
showed no alcohol in her system, but she
refused a subsequent urine sample when
deputies suspected drug impairment.
During booking, authorities discovered
hidden Xanax pills in her sock and
genital area after patrol car footage
caught her moving items from her bra.
She was ultimately charged with multiple
offenses, including DUI with a minor in
the vehicle, drug possession, and
introducing contraband into a jail, and
later released on a $9,000 bond.
