On June 2nd, 2024, at approximately 11:45 p.m., officers with the Lake Forest Police Department received a call of a vehicle being driven erratically on Route 41 northbound. Officer Yakuzz located a gray 2015 Infiniti matching the caller's description in the area of Route 41 and Route 60. He began following the vehicle and a check of the registration indicated that it was suspended due to Nong insurance. The driver was swerving and officer Yaquez activated his emergency lights to initiate a traffic stop. The driver kept driving for approximately 49 seconds before finally stopping in front of, by the way, motel in the neighboring town of Lake Bluff. >> Hi, Officer Lake Forest Police Department. >> Do you know the reason I stopped you today, ma'am? >> No. >> Okay. Um, so you're kind of all over the roadway. You're You can't maintain your lane. Is there something going on medically? You need an ambulance or anything? >> No, I'm just tired. That's all. >> Tired. Okay. Where are you coming from? >> Chicago. >> Chicago. Okay. Do you have your driver's license and insurance with you? What were you doing in Chicago? >> What's that? >> Okay. >> And uh where are you heading to now? >> Is that is that where you live? >> Okay. So, you said you uh you're tired. Were you working or what's going on? >> No, I just been up there all day. >> I've been up. Okay. Do you have insurance for the car? >> Okay. Such a you say you're coming from Chicago. Is that your daughter in the back? So again, I'm just trying to understand, you know, like I said, I was following you for a little bit and you were a little bit all over the roadway. Can't maintain the lane. You went into uh the right shoulder a couple times and just swipe to the side just to make sure everything's okay. Okay. All right, give me a second. I mean, the light is so I can see and and so they can so they can see us. Um, so usually it's going to be on here. That way we can see inside and then so all the cars can see you as well. Um, like that it's fine. Um, again, I'm just trying to understand kind of what's going on. Um, that's why usually when I see that, I want to make sure that whoever's driving is okay. Especially if you have your daughter with you and hate for something to happen to you. >> If it's cold or the light is like really It's okay. >> Temple. Thank you. Um, how much have you had to drink today, man? >> Nothing. >> Nothing to drink. >> Okay. Any drugs or alcohol? Any like drugs? Marijuana, anything like that? >> Okay. cuz I'm just trying to again uh trying to understand what's going on especially with that type of driving. Um two also your license plates are suspended for uh insurance. I just want to let you know that uh I think it's fee. >> So, probably what's left to do is you have to do pay a reinstatement fee. Yeah. So, you just paid that to the DMV. Okay. All right. So, I just wanted to let you know um it's coming up quite a bit with a lot of different cars and stuff like that. Um Okay. Um so, you said you had nothing to drink tonight, right? Okay. No, you don't you don't smoke or are you under any prescription medication or anything like that? No, I mean this morning I'm tired of it. >> Okay. All right. So, you got you got to understand kind of from our point of view when we see someone driving like that. It's like like I said, I would hate for anything to happen to you or your daughter on your way home, especially Zion's still kind of a ways from here. Um things like that. Do you take any prescription medication or anything like that? You're not under any doctor care or anything? When's the last time you actually slept? I mean, I know you said you've been out all day and stuff like that, but >> I've been working for >> What do you do? >> I'm a Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> I drive a forklift. >> Okay. >> So, you're forklift certified? That's uh that's pretty cool. I don't think I know if I can drive forklift like that. >> I probably knock over all the stuff. Um so, all right, Miss Winter. So, this is what I'd like to do. Officer Yakuzz made contact with the driver of the Infiniti, who was identified as 28-year-old Raven. Her 7-year-old daughter was asleep in the backseat of the car. Raven told the officer that she was coming from Chicago and headed back home to Zion. As he was speaking with Raven, Officer Yaquez detected the odor of alcohol and observed other indicators of impairment. Raven denied consuming alcohol, but officer Yoqu asked her to exit the vehicle and perform field sobriety exercises. >> Um, I mean, I know you said you haven't had anything to drink. You know, you haven't had anything like that. Um, I'd like to just put you through some exercise. Make sure to show me that you are okay to drive. I know you're tired. If everything, you know, shows that, you know, you have no signs of impairment or anything like that, um, >> I'm okay with you. I would say maybe pull over for a little bit and then just take a quick nap. I can't push you to do that. >> But I know, but you got to understand I followed you from Route 60 all the way here. And it even took you a while to notice that I was pulling you over. So you got, you know, there was the type of car I had. >> Yeah. It's not the type of the car. I just I saw I got behind you. Um, someone else called in your driving. >> Pulled up all the time. That's the type of car I have. >> I don't I don't you know, the way we do our job is not because of the car. So the way I I came about to know about you was that someone called in your driving saying you almost hit them. So I see your car and then I'm following you and you are going you know you can't maintain the lane. You go out into the shoulder quite a bit um and and back and forth and even so then when I activate my lights takes you a while to you know notice that I don't again you said you might have seen me or not and I had to use my sirens. It took you a while to stop um for that. So with all that, I have to make sure that one, you're okay to drive. And two, now with your, you know, knowing that your your daughter's in the back, that's putting not only yourself and you're putting her at risk. You know, that 17 minutes away, something can happen within the next even like, you know, quarter mile. Okay. >> So, um, what I like you to do is just step out. Let's go back here and talk a little bit. Okay. You want to shut off the car? So, we're just going to step back there where our partner's at step over here that way. Um, yeah. Do you have a sweater or anything that you in there that you want want to grab? No. Okay. >> So, you want to just stand here in front of me? Um, and face me, please. Face me. Just right. Right there in front. Yeah. Face me. Okay. So, again, you said you had nothing to drink tonight, right? No. >> Okay. Um, were you at a party or something or >> No. >> No. Okay. >> So, like I said, I just want to, you know, go through some exercises, make sure that you're, you know, what you're saying, you know, is true and that you're you're okay to drive. Okay. >> Um, is that something you're willing to do? >> Okay. Hurry up cuz I got to go home. I got to be at 6:00 in the morning. >> Okay. I understand. I understand. But, you know, I got to make sure that you're okay to drive, especially with, you know, not only for your safety, but your causes. Okay. So, first thing I'm going to do is just check your eyes. Okay. >> So, just look straight at me. So, we're going to continue with checking your eyes. Um, give me a second. I'll try to make this as quick as possible. Okay. >> The first field sobriety exercise was the horizontal gaze nestagmus HGN test. During the HGN test, officer Yaquiz observed the lack of smooth pursuit and distinct and sustained nestagmas at maximum deviation. The second exercise was the walk and turn test. During the walk and turn test, Raven did not touch heel to toe on each step, took an incorrect number of steps, and failed to count aloud. The third exercise was the one leg stand test. During the one leg stand test, Raven failed to raise her foot in the proper fashion and put her foot down before the test was complete. All right. So, for this first exercise, um, do you have any problems with your eyes or there's like anything wrong with your eyes? >> I wear glasses, but I don't have one on right now. >> Okay. You You don't have You have any contacts on? >> No. >> No. Okay. All right. And how would you say your health is generally? Like your general health? How is that? >> Probably about nine or eight. >> Okay. All right. Um, All right. All right. So, what I need you to do is you're going to put your feet together with your hands at your side. Put your hands at your side. Did you want to put down the purse there real quick? And then that way I I'll try to get your side. All right. So, hands check. Perfect. Just feet together.

It's going to be the tip of my pen. You see that? Okay. Can you touch that with the with your finger? Perfect. Thank you. So keep uh keep following my the stimulus or tip of my pen with your eyes until I tell you to stop. Do you understand? >> Okay. >> Okay. >> You said you don't have a sweater or anything like that. >> So just with your eyes on. Okay. You still see the tip of the pen? Mhm. If you don't come on, why you trying to live with the PE? It's cold. There's a certain way that I have to do this. I got to ask. You can blink. >> That's close. >> Just keep following us. Just your eyes only. Okay. >> Okay. Now I'm going to go up. Okay. >> You don't cop. >> Just with your eyes only. Okay. One more time. Okay, that's it for the eyes.

I know you're tired, but are you comfortable in those shoes? >> Okay. All right. Come on. >> Um, do you have any physical problems or disabilities? Any issues with your back or your legs? Okay. So, what I need you to do is just stand here in the middle of your car. Face me, please. All right. Perfect. All right.

Um, do you agree there's no like large debris or anything like that that's going to make you trip in here? >> No. >> Okay. It's pretty flat, right? Yes. >> Okay. >> All right. So, what I need you to do in that imaginary line, you're going to place your left foot on the line. So place that left foot and then your right foot right in front of it touching heel he heel to toe. Perfect. Don't start yet. I got to give you more instructions. So get back. So your left foot on the line, right foot right in front of it touching heel to toe.
