2016 Mazda 6 parked in a public parking spot on the east side of Western Avenue since the vehicle did not have overnight parking permission he exited his patrol car and looked inside the vehicle he noticed that there was vomit outside of the vehicle and observed a female who was covered in vomit sleeping behind the wheel of the vehicle the engine was running indicating that the female had physical control of the vehicle he knocked on the window repeatedly for several minutes but she did not immediately awaken like for 31 ke start me a code too the uh subject is covered in b fls y L Forest Police Lake Forest Police all right yeah we're going to I'm going to open I'm going to see the door opens cuz I she's not responding is your is your door locked yeah is that I I saw a wallet on

lantern right no I was at authentico authentico okay uh you you were just with friends yeah okay got it uh did you have anything to eat at all yeah I did yeah when's the last time you slept I mean I know you were sleeping in the car but before that uh when's the last time you slept um I had slept I think an early morning and then I had just been sleeping I think when you had found me okay did you when you last slept did you sleep like a full night's worth of sleep or full um I think so yeah you think so okay like can you estimate how many hours you think that was um I think uh beforehand I had slept you just give me some time um I think I slept a few hours beforehand and then when you had found me I had slept another few hours like four or five hours okay yeah can you do me one more favor all right so I'm just without singing it can you uh say the alphabet starting from the letter d and ending at M yeah without singing go ahead thing is I apologize very much I feel so bad that you guys have do this no it's okay we're just like I said if if you're if you're telling me you can drive I got to make sure that you can safely drive a vehicle yeah no no I'm totally fine okay uh D to F you said D to m d to M okay d e f e h i j k l m n o p q r s d u p WS y mg now I know my ABC's next time got it all right so um you've been very Cooperative thank you I appreciate it right um the last thing I'd like to ask right my partner here has a has a device that helps us gauge a better idea of you know following the field sobriety exercises officer sxs offered AKA an opportunity to take a preliminary breath test PBT the results of the PBT indicated a BAC level of 0.22% which was nearly triple the legal limit of 0.08% if you can safely drive a vehicle basically okay all right would you be willing to to bre into that so you can show me if you can save my question is what would happen if I refuse what would happen if I um cooperate sure so if you if you refuse right I have to base my decision on on how we're going to proceed based on what I've observed so far okay so based on the exercises that you've performed so far how well you did on those is all I'm going to have to base my decision off if you were to cooperate um and breathe into that that gives me a number right it analyzes your breath and it gives me a definitive kind of uh calculation of where you're at okay and then I'm not solely relying based on my observations does that make sense yeah okay so if I do B breathe into that and it happens to be high then what would happen in that case then we have to start having a conversation about how much did you drink you know um are you having some kind of medical emergency right uh if I know you're taking other prescription medications could that be interference with that those are just all things that we might to talk about I think outside of the breathalyzer is there anything that I should be concerned of or do you think if I just take the breath of like I'll be fine I I I mean I can't answer that kind of thing right this is this so you're an adult right you're over 21 years old corre all right so these are the decisions that you're just going to have to make yourself right me as someone who's just kind of looking into an incident I can't give you advice okay so it's either going to be a yes or no kind of thing okay okay um yeah I think I'll be okay with okay all right yeah I don't want to be non-compliant yeah you've been very Cooperative I I've got no issues with that whatsoever um like I said we're I'm just concerned cuz when we came up I was worried that there's kind of like a medical event type thing okay so yeah all right so it's kind of like blowing up a balloon right or blowing bubbles into a glass of milk right you're going to form a tight seal and then you're just going to give me um a consistent blow okay all right right so whenever you're ready breathe in I think I would ask yep do I seem as if I'm not in the right position that's kind of my question since well I mean so it's not illegal you're an adult so it's not illegal to drink alcohol right um so I think you've you've been drinking alcohol tonight that's that's just my thought right but this kind of gives us an idea of of that okay it's it a legal amount yeah like legal amount and also like what I said if there's drugs if there's a medical event right is is there something interfering with how you're going on some of those levels can give us an idea of if there's something else kind of going on that we need to address okay okay the my my main thing is I haven't been drinking tonight and driving that's my that's my main concern because I think you know I like as I have been drinking but I certainly not been driving okay so I think like my main concerns I don't want to be you know in a DUI okay if that makes sense I yeah and I I understand why that's concerning for you what this does is this kind of helps us rule certain things out and it helps kind of what our decision process of what we can do moving forward okay okay so it's up to you it's a yes or no thing if you want to do this okay what would happen if I said no I think I remember I just explained that right so then I have to base my decision off my observations of of what you performed on the street here okay okay right so yes or no yeah I think I'll I'll take it cuz I don't want to be non-compliant okay all right yeah okay so like I said Tight Seal you're going to bre take a deep breath in all right and then when you blow out just kind of try to keep that consistent okay all right so go ahead take a deep breath in all right go ahead Tight Seal keep going keep blowing keep blowing so see how you're kind of like it's like choppy it's like stopping and going right what you want to do is you want to take that big breath in and then a consistent flow all right also I noticed you're kind of like holding it in front of your teeth um if you could kind of you know like it's almost like you're blowing bubbles into a glass of milk okay MH all right of course all right so you want to try one more time yeah okay so take a deep breath in all right go ahead keep going keep going all right I'm going to try one more time okay all right cuz it isn't is it not reading well yeah because you're not you're not you're kind of like blowing and stopping and blowing and stopping and then you're like moving you're like moving your head around right you're moving your head around moon right like yeah try it without the straw breathing in now breathe out just like that okay yeah all right one more time breathe in go ahead breathe in keep going keep going go ahead you gra another actually is it not [Applause] read or is it not reading want no so it's what's happening is it's insufficient flow it's giving me a reading on the screen that's F which tells me you're not really breathing breathing into it okay okay all right so I apologize for that I'm sorry the try not to get out don't not all your breath out at once try to do a consistent blow right like a okay yeah just like that okay all right deep breath in keep blowing keep blowing keep blowing keep blowing keep blowing all right there we go just like that appreciate it all right how do you think you're going to be like high low maybe just a little bit like above zero where do you think you're going to be at I think I'll be normal noral for my for my weight and height it might be very sensitive in those cases I would be totally fine just waiting it out got it do you drink alcohol frequently or socially or how would you um it's more socially yeah okay more socially all right so I'm going to and I'm recording this on my camera too right so the number that's reading is .22 okay all right so 22 is uh pretty high okay um so you don't you're confident that you don't need any kind of medical assistance at all or anything like that no if it's 22 I would be more than fine just waiting waiting okay cuz that's going to be so the way your body metabolizes alcohol that's we're talking like hours and hours and hours like yeah no I would be if it's 22 cuz I know it's 08 correct right to be okay um the bottle of the bottle of smear off in there in your car what's going on with that um I think I had just drank that if it's not safe to drink and I have to drive I'm more than willing to just wait no matter how many how much time it is right before I drive okay um the thing I would like to emphasize I haven't driven since I have drinken that okay so I personally would say I have not drink were you like were you just drinking it in the car and hanging out or yeah I I was drinking it and just hanging out I promise you I have not dranken since I have drinken that yeah yeah yeah so you just in the car you're in the car hanging out drinking some smar off I wasn't planning on even driving I was trying to get my friends like how many of our friends I can contact to just figure out situation and see if they can take me or if that really didn't happen just an Uber or if I would you know just sleep and just wait for an Uber um I promise you that I would not have drinking in that condition and then gone home okay I think that is obviously very dangerous and I'm obviously willing to wait until I can go home as well even if it's ours if that's okay okay all right um 95 So based on her being in physical control of the vehicle her admission to consuming alcohol her inability to adequately perform the field sobriety exercises and the results of the PBT
