When officers arrived, they observed no obvious reason for the crash and began an investigation for operating while intoxicated.

Okay. >> Yeah, that is gnarly. >> As officers searched Daniel's vehicle, he was transported to a hospital for medical evaluation and a legal blood draw. Under Michigan's implied consent law, drivers suspected of operating while intoxicated must choose whether to submit to chemical testing. Before a consensual blood draw can occur, officers are required to read the DI 177 implied consent form. Upon arrival at the hospital, the officer read Daniel his rights from the DI 177 at 2:51 a.m. and informed him he was under arrest. Daniel refused the legal blood draw. So, the officer left Daniel in the custody of hospital staff to type a search warrant. Roughly 10 minutes later, staff informed the officer Daniel had fled the hospital. Nearby agencies were alerted and Daniel was located roughly 45 minutes later by Washaw County Sheriff's deputies. >> Please show me your Hey, >> stop. Please show me your hands. Stop. Stop moving.

I know. Daniel was unceremoniously escorted back through the hospital to his bed. The officer obtained a search warrant and a blood draw revealed his blood alcohol content was.127 at the time of draw. Due to his injuries and the county jail's policy, Daniel was not lodged and a warrant was requested. But this was not the end of Daniel's interactions with Washington County authorities. On October 11th, 2024, prior to Daniel's owi warrant being authorized, Ipsellani city police officers were dispatched to 113 West Michigan Avenue for a fight in progress. Though they didn't locate a fight, officers found a man slumped over on the ground. At his side, a familiar face, Daniel Magcoo. >> Hey, Smith, get over here and deal with this, bro. Hold on.

[snorts] Daniel was transported to jail. The other individual was released to paramedics due to extreme intoxication and no charges were filed against him. For the March incident, Daniel was charged with operating while impaired, third offense notice, DWLS, and escaping lawful custody. During his court appearances, Daniel went viral for his sovereign citizen prosay defenses. Ultimately, he accepted counsel and pleaded guilty to OWI third offense. He was sentenced to 134 days in jail with credit for 134 days time served, 2 years of probation, 480 hours of community service, and $698 in fines. The remaining charges from that incident were not pursued to conviction. For the October incident, Daniel was charged with three counts of resisting and obstructing. He pleaded guilty to one count and the remaining two were dismissed. He was sentenced in conjunction with the OWI case and assessed an additional $198 in fines. Shortly after these incidents, Daniel was charged for two other unrelated cases in Washington County. Tune in to part three to see what happened when Daniel tried his sovereign citizen routine on Michigan State Police Troopers.
