Just so you know, be an audio video recorded. Nope, not that. >> Where you guys coming from this evening? >> Um, the vehicle. >> Okay. Where you heading to? >> I'm dropping them off. >> Okay. Around 1:40 a.m. on May 2nd, 2025, Sergeant Conor McGra with the Highlands Police Department observed a 2010 Honda twodoor swerving across lanes as the driver headed northbound on Route 36 from Bay Avenue. He began pursuing the vehicle and noticed that the driver continued to swerve in the vicinity of Route 36 and Roger Street before turning onto Water Witch Avenue. Since the driver continued swerving, he activated his emergency lights to initiate a traffic stop at Water Avenue and Bay Avenue. >> All right. Uh, how much have you had to drink tonight, ma'am? >> Had about two or three highs. >> Okay. All right. Uh, do you have anything wrong with your license? >> No. >> Okay. The reason why I'm stopping you is actually cuz you changed lanes quite a few times and then you were driving over the line. So, we were supposed to go under the bridge and she missed under the bridge and >> Okay, >> that's why we went that way and I told her to come this way and make a right. >> Okay, >> so we changed lanes and we didn't know if she was behind me, but like she's my friend. She went to come pick me up tonight and I told her to go on the bridge. She didn't listen on 36 and I told her to change lanes. She's like, I shouldn't do that. >> Sergeant McGra exited his vehicle and made contact with the driver who was identified as 24 years old Alexa Kosovich. as he was speaking with Alexa. Sergeant McGra detected the odor of alcohol and observed other indicators of impairment. Alexa admitted to Sergeant McGra that she had consumed 324 high noons earlier that evening after patrolman Robert Elvader arrived on scene to assist. He asked Alexa to exit the vehicle and perform field sobriety exercises >> and then he pulled us over. >> Okay. All right. Well, yeah, like I said, just a couple of lane changes and then Like I said though, you missed under going over the bridge, >> right? But and again, the going over the line thing is the other reason why I'm stopping you. It wasn't just the lane change. There's a couple of things. >> Yeah. Driving over the line. >> So, uh, do you have anything wrong with your license? I'm sorry. You said no. >> All right. Hang tight. Okay.

During the HGN test, Sergeant LRO observed the lack of smooth pursuit, distinct and sustained nestagmas at maximum deviation, and the onset of neistagmas prior to 45°. The second exercise was the walk and turn test. During the walk and turn test, Alexa did not touch heel to toe on each step and turned improperly. The final exercise was the one leg stand test and Alexa did not raise her foot in the proper fashion while putting her foot down before the test was complete. >> Um, do you have anything wrong with your eyes before we begin? >> I do have sensitivity to light. >> Okay, >> that's about it. >> All right.

And I don't even know you guys want to believe that, but I was in a bad decision. She wanted to help me out, but she missed going under the bridge and I said, "Make the right by the school." >> So, all I'm saying is in general, drinking and driving is a bad decision.
