You know what I'm saying? >> I hear you. The suspect admitted to consuming six alcoholic drinks around 8:00 p.m. while continuing to ramble and avoid direct answers. Despite being in the middle of a police interaction, he repeatedly changed topics, discussed personal matters, and lost focus, reinforcing suspicion that he was under the influence of alcohol prior to formal testing. >> Here's the deal.

Yes, sir. >> Okay. >> Following. >> The suspect was instructed to follow an object using only his eyes, but instead kept his gaze fixed forward and failed to track the officer's hand movement. Despite repeated instructions, he was unable to comply correctly. And from this point forward, his behavior began to deteriorate further. >> Right. >> Okay. >> Down. >> You look straight at me.

Sorry to >> hear that. >> It became clear that the suspect failed to follow instructions during the walking test, taking too many steps and struggling to maintain balance while also changing the procedure on his own, including removing his shoes mid test. Notably, [music] when corrected, he became irritable and began making disorganized statements, repeatedly referencing that he was a software engineer and discussing unrelated personal issues, indicating loss of behavioral control and impaired cognitive function. >> Strain out our leg and pour out towards the rise like I showed up. 1005 1006 1007 to restart. 1008,000 10, which is 10 seconds, baby. 11 11 11,01 11,000 [ __ ] 14 E 12,000 13,000 You can stop for this next one, we're going to stand the same way.

We're bring our hands to center of our back. After completing the field sobriety tests, officers determined that the suspect was unable to safely operate a vehicle and proceeded to place him under arrest for DUI. Upon being informed, the suspect's demeanor shifted dramatically from cooperative to emotionally [music] reactive, repeatedly questioning the officers, raising his voice, and arguing about the [music] situation. >> Hands behind your back. >> Where do you want me to face? >> There you go. Put your hands together. >> Yes, sir. >> You're being placed under arrest tonight for DUI. >> Don't be so aggressive. Appreciate your cooperation. You're doing just fine. >> Really?

She needs to picked up or she's going to get fired. It's not even a joke. She needs She needs someone to pick her up. I live with her, dude. Sir, please. Please pick her up. >> During transport to the station, the suspect continued talking about needing to contact his girlfriend, showing further signs of losing control, both behaviorally and mentally. He began yelling, hitting his head against the vehicle window, and repeatedly demanding his phone despite warnings from officers. At one point, he even falsely claimed that he had removed his handcuffs, attempting to mislead and pressure officers. Though the attempt was unsuccessful. >> Me in my head. >> Hey, let me go, bro. Let me show you what's up. That's what I thought. He ain't going to let me go. And I get it. I get it, Angela. Oh, I'm out. I'm out. My left hand is out. I'm loose. Oh yeah, you better check You better check it out. Yeah, that's what I thought. Yeah, pull me in. Where are we? Alcatraz. Oh, the door is open. At the station, the suspect underwent a breath alcohol test [music] which revealed a blood alcohol concentration of 0.248%, more than three times the legal limit of 0.08%, confirming severe intoxication while operating a vehicle. He was charged with driving under the influence, DUI, and resisting an officer without violence. The entire incident reflects a continuous pattern of escalating uncontrolled behavior posing significant danger not only to himself but also to others on the road. When every limit is [music] crossed, the consequences no longer affect just one person. It becomes a direct threat to anyone on the road where a single moment of lost control [music] can lead to something irreversible.
