Just so you know be an audio video recorded. Nope. Not that. Where you guys coming from this evening? Um vehicle. 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 Witch Avenue and Bay Avenue. Where you heading to? I'm dropping him off. Okay. All right. Uh, how much have you had to drink tonight, ma'am? I had about two or three hinders. 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. We change lanes and we didn't know she was behind me, but like she's my friend. She went to come pick me up. Sergeant McGra exited his vehicle and made contact with the driver who was identified as 24 years zero 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 I told her to go into the bridge and listen on 36 and I told her change lane. She was like, I shouldn't do that and then pull over. Okay. All right. Well, yeah, like I said, just the couple of lane changes and then my fault. Like I said though, she missed under going under 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. Do you recognize the dude in passenger seat at all? It looks like the guy Tony just locked up, doesn't it? What do you lock him up for? DWI. Okay, there. All right, Alexa, have you step out of the car so I can test to make sure you're right to be driving and then if everything goes good, I'll get you out of here real quick. Okay. Okay. Just going to go ahead right over here on the sidewalk over here. Okay. Okay. 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. So, but you don't have like a fake eye or anything like that. All right. If you could please your feet together like this, hands at your sides. Okay. So, what I'd like you to do is you see the tip of my pen right there? Mhm. I'd like you to follow the tip of my pen using your eyes and your eyes only. Sergeant LGR strided with the horizontal gaze nestagmas test. During the HGN test, Sergeant Lra observed the lack of smooth pursuit, distinct and sustained nestagmas at maximum deviation, and the onset of nestagmas 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. Don't move your head. Okay. Okay. Keep your head straight. See dip my pen right here. Sure you're still following that. Okay. Um, yeah, I'm going to have one out testing. I'm going to have you stand right here now. Okay. We're going to do We're going to do um actually up here on the sidewalk. I'm sorry. Um, what I'm going to have you do is I'm going to do a walk and turn test with you. Okay? Uh, I'm going to explain the test to you. I'm going to demonstrate it and then I'm going to ask you to perform it. Okay? So, what I'd like you to do is I'd like you to put your left foot on that imaginary straight line. What? What's in your hand? My jewel. Can Can you just put that on the table for me? Or back in your pocket. That's fine. Yeah. Left foot on an imaginary straight line. Right foot directly in front of it. Standing heel to toe just like this. Okay. See how my feet are? Can you stand like that now? Right foot in front of left. Okay. Now, don't start the test until I tell you to begin. Okay. When I tell you to begin, I'm going to have you take nine steps, okay? Nine heel totoe steps, counting out loud each step, okay? Keeping your arms at your sides. You're going to look at your feet while you're walking. It's going to look like this. Okay? 1 2 3. Again, I did three to demonstrate. You're doing nine. On your ninth step, you're going to turn around just like I did. Small series of steps. And then you're going to take nine steps back to where you're standing now. One, two, three. Keeping your hands at your sides, counting out loud each step. Okay. Okay. Whenever you're ready, you can begin. One. Oh my god. It's okay. It's not okay. It's not okay. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. Mhm. 1 2 3 4 Wow. 5 6 7 8 9 Okay. Uh next uh test I'm going to have you do is you put your feet together, hands at your sides. Okay, it's going to be a one leg stand. What I'm going to have you do is when I tell you to begin, you're going to pick either leg of your choosing. Doesn't matter which leg. Okay, you're going to raise your foot approximately 6 in off the ground. Staring at your raised foot, you're going to count out loud. 1 100 2 100 3 100 4 100 5 100 until I tell you to stop. Okay. And you may begin. Wait. Any foot. Either foot of your choosing. Doesn't matter which one. It's whichever you're most comfortable with. 1 100 1 2 100 3 100 4 100 5 100 6 100 7 100 8 100 9 100 10 100 11 100 12 100 13 100 If you mess up, just pick up where you left off. 14,000 [ __ ] 15 100 16 100 17 100 18 100 N 19 100 All right, you can stop. Um, what's your highest level of education, Alexa? I Why does that matter? Just curious cuz I'm going to ask you to do a a different test. All right. I graduated high school and I went to beauty school. Okay. So, you know the English alphabet? I do. Okay. So, what I'm going to ask you to I'm not playing any tricks with you. I'm just asking because some people say they don't know the alphabet like if they're I do if if English isn't their primary language.

I don't know if you saw when you were explaining the walking turn. She fell out. She fell starting thing. Her one leg stand was not great by any means. Her alphabet was okay, but that doesn't really mean a whole lot hold a whole lot of weight. Um, I mean, basically, yeah, you have driving behavior. Yeah. So, I probably Okay, sounds good to me. I'm glad we're in agreeance. All right, Alexa. So, here's the deal. Um, I'm thinking that you had too many drinks tonight. Okay. Based on her erratic driving, the odor of alcohol, her admission to consuming alcohol earlier that day, and her inability to adequately perform the field sobriety exercises, Alexa was placed under arrest. Her passenger was instructed to exit the vehicle and later given a ride home by patrolman elevator. You're unsafe to operate a vehicle. So right now what's going to happen is we're going to place you under arrest for driving while intoxicated. Okay. So can you put your hands behind your back, please? 41. Okay. All right.

Little little better circumstances. I feel like I met you before a quick check. Maybe maybe I'm I'm always around, you know. There is another guy that looks like me, though. So, everyone tells me that though. Someone tells me that someone looks at me that works at Sea Street and I'm like I'm a new I do have a friend that works at Sea Street. You think he looks at me or He does. He does. What's his name? Isaiah. Maybe I was there a year ago. Like I like it out here cuz like I'm from Kingsburg. Like I grew up with it sucked. Like even like tonight like even I see even tonight like she was helping me out but like she missed under the bridge and we seen you guys follow us and I told her to make the right by [ __ ] um right by the uh the preschool and we seen it happen and she's like they're going to pull us over and then that's why she's getting mad but like it is what it is. Hey look at the end of the day mistakes happen you just move through it you know. So I got ripped up on YouTube for saying that like this was a mistake and stuff like that. You know, people made mistakes for drinking and driving. It is a mistake. Someone put you on body cam on YouTube. Yeah, people over request our videos all the time. So, so it So, listen. It It is a mistake. There is I got to be honest with you though, bro. You guys are overly nice. Like overly nice. I don't All I got to say is thank you and like we we so like she was driving me home. She's be nice to me and I told her going for her. And I made her right by the preschool cuz that's how you get back home where she was like she's like kind of like me. I saw my she didn't really drink that much tonight. That's why she's being annoying. She's like my car. She's so young. She's not really understanding what's going on. So I get it. Like I don't I don't care. I don't want to be on YouTube like you don't want to be on YouTube. But like I mean you guys are really nice though. You Listen, we try to be Listen, Flores is a little nicer than you guys though. I'll tell you that. Uh, I don't know about that. But now I think you should though. Come on. How How I'm new here? I know who Flores is. You can find You just keep searching. The only thing you ever find is weed on me. But you're allowed to You're allowed to have weed. I know that. I have a medical card from when I was young. It's still legal without it. I didn't smoke in her car, though. She She doesn't smoke weed. No, that was my question to her cuz I smelled the weed. No, she didn't. No, it's it's me. 100%. Yes. She don't smoke weed. She actually gets married weed. That's what she said. She That's why I want to make sure her cars No. No. No, don't ever do that. Now, that's why she got really unlucky. She want to listen. She want to go on the bridge and then she So, so listen, here's the deal. And it's the same thing I tell everybody with DWIS, right? It was a bad decision to drive while, you know, after you've been drinking. Would you agree? She didn't from my decision. She didn't even drink. She wanted to come help me out tonight. The only reason we were here is because she missed the bridge and I I forced her to make the right to go by school and then you guys pulled over and we didn't repeat that though. 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. Right. Of course, you got to be held accountable. It's it's a it's a mistake in judgment. Right. You have a priv you have a privilege to have a license. So, if you don't answer the privilege, then it's on you. Right. Exactly. So, and because it's a mistake, right? We try not to beat people up too bad, but this is the best of it's a it's a crappy crappy situation. Best of a crappy situation. nobody gets hurt, right? At the end of the day, she's going to get traffic tickets and then she's gonna, you know, deal with it accord, you know. I just want to make sure she's okay. Yeah, she's okay. She's all right.
