Officer Daily activated his emergency lights to initiate a traffic stop, and the driver pulled over the vicinity of Mount Prospect Avenue and Sunset Avenue. After the driver pulled over, Officer Daily exited his patrol car and made contact with the driver who was identified as 18-year-old Maricela Siri Omana. >> Sorry, I don't know why I did that. >> Okay.

Maricela told the officer that she had consumed those drinks about 3 hours prior, but denied being under the influence at the moment.
