Hayden Hayden Do you mind stepping outside with me to talk for a minute? >> Hi. Hi. Can you talk to me? Yes. Um so, I'm not trying to be a dick, but you're a little I'm not even trying to be anti-mobile, but like my friends um Cass and Taylor and everyone hangs out with Ead, and he acts that way. And he's like, "Oh, I'm I'm sorry to pull you over for eight different type of DUIs." And I'm like, "I've never tried ever drive my car out of here." So, were you driving just now? No. No. How did you get over here? I didn't. I was sitting over here drinking with my friends. You've been here? Yeah, I've been here. That's my thing. Like I'm not trying to be a [ __ ] but like that's kind of weird. I don't do that [ __ ] Like I was just hanging out drinking with my friends. I I kind of rubbed me the wrong way.

Her name was Aiden Marie [ __ ] She was 25 years old. She lived in Melbourne, Florida, and the decision to leave that crash scene was only the first in a series of [music] choices that would turn a single traffic accident into five criminal charges. >> I cuz I'm not irresponsible. It's around the um Volkswagen Jetta. But I don't drive because I'm not irresponsible with So, the scenario is though I can smell it on your breath. That's why I think you've been drinking. But I was never driving. But there are plenty of people who said that they are witness to seeing you in the I never drove. So, I'm kind of confused though on that one. But I'm just telling you what >> I'm just telling you what you guys are going to get when you go to court, and I was never driving cuz I don't drive. I would never do that. Like, did you see this? Like, I'm like, "Oh, I'm not driving." I wasn't bullshitting that [ __ ] You have fun and fun and fun. >> What's your last name? For what? You [snorts] were involved in a crash. You are being placed under arrest. >> drive. So, give me your license and if not, we can just go to the jail for resisting. That's where we're at. But I didn't crash anything. Ask him. Did I crash my car? No. So, We were here. No, pass it along. Did I crash? Did I crash my car? >> see anything. I wasn't there. No, like you're [ __ ] caught I'm not trying to be a [ __ ] but like in a crash [ __ ] I understand what you guys are saying. and get it, a thousand percent cross wise, but I've never ever touched my car when I've ever been drinking. I Uber home. So that's a funny haha of like can you pull it up can you pull a tab of when I've been drinking so I can give it to her? Cuz she's asked A no contest plea and a body cam video that would be viewed by hundreds of thousands of people under the title she crashes then makes everything worse. Can you ask her? She's asking for it. No, cuz you guys have no jack No, this is Melbourne police officers have nothing about it. I'm not trying to be a jack. Do you mind just signing this year if you refuse to sign? Perfect. I'm going to pull my daddy in and he doesn't have the slightest clue what I was saying. Have fun. Okay, cool. But I'm not I don't need like I don't want to be like that. >> already being like it, so. Any type of criminal Caden, come here.

You can do FSTs which are like tests to see if you're okay. I am 20 So if you don't want to do that it's fine. I'm giving you the option. I am 25 years old. That has nothing to do with that. Do you want to do FSTs or not? For what? I'm not trying to be a victim. But like So so here's a here's a deal, okay? >> trying to be a victim. >> listen listen to me. Here's I'm not I'm not trying to be a victim. >> was obviously there was a crash, right? We have finished our crash investigation and now we are moving into a DUI investigation, okay?

It's just something that I have to read you before we keep asking you questions, okay? >> Okay. Before we ask any questions >> The title was accurate. Every decision she made after the crash was worse than the one before it, and the body cam captured all of them. When a driver leaves the scene of an accident with injuries in the state of Florida, it is not a traffic violation. It is a crime. Well, if you stop talking and listen to me, you'll be less confused. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in court. You have the right to talk to a lawyer for advice before we ask you any questions and have them with you during questioning. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed for you before any questioning if you wish. If you decide to answer questions now without a lawyer present, you will still have the right to stop answering at any time. You also have the right to stop answering at any time until you talk to a lawyer. Okay, does that all make sense?

Like if that were my car, that's my car. Okay. Did any of you guys see it? All right. So, this is what I'm the one that called you guys before the accident. I was at the red light over the bridge. And it was like 5 seconds I'm at the red light. And the cars are about to turn the South Patrick. And all of a sudden like two like 110 mph almost like a collision. So, I called and then they transferred me to Melbourne. Did you see it? I saw her in the windshield and her her eyes were like rolling out. She was just in shock and didn't know what to So, she was in the car? She was in the car. >> her in the car? >> Yes. I didn't see her get out. I saw her in She did not do the one thing that every defense attorney in America would have told her to do. Be quiet, be still, and let the process happen. Do you have your ID on you by chance?

Tell us So, I was about a little over halfway over the bridge and she's flying and blows by and comes super, super close to hitting my car. Uh and then at the last second kind of moves over, just misses my car. And then there's a white car right in front of me and then I don't remember what kind of car it was, but there was a car to my left. Then she comes up, slams on the brake, like so super, super close to hitting that white car, splits those two cars, then just heads straight into right where it starts to curve, bounces off of that and then after she bounced off of that, the car just went out of the way and I couldn't really see where it went from there. But, I I mean, I don't have to hit cars every year. Doesn't seem like it. Just that one? Just that one. Okay. Do you have your driver's license on you by chance? I do. Okay. Can you also just raise your right hand for me? Yeah. Do you swear what you just told me is the truth? What? Absolutely. Where were you Where were you guys coming from? Satellite Beach? I wasn't. I was going home. Right, but where were you coming from? I know you're going home, but where were you coming from? Um I was going from Satellite Beach. Okay. I was going home. Okay.

Huh? Are you willing to perform field Hey. But how is that fair to me? What do you mean, fair? >> When those are your friends. When who's Who is my friends? When all the little sobriety like sobriety partners are your friends. What do you mean sobriety partners? Well, like Luke and She resisted their attempts to conduct a DUI investigation.
