over the course of two hours okay what
what was it that you were drinking
Amsterdam Thea you talking about okay I
was going to visit a friend who was
going to go with me to my kids trick or
treat school party you drinking
at I was drinking at home at first so
here's what we're going to do I'm going
to give you some sobriety tests okay
some tests for you to perform I'm
literally really close to home I don't
even care if I just get a ride home I'm
not that intoxicated listen to me sir
please hold on I'm talking okay that's
what the tests are for okay it's to
determine how intoxicated you actually
are cuz alcohol affects everyone
different ways okay so depending on how
you do these tests it'll depend on if
you drive home or not okay at the end of
the day you have your kids in there
right so I'm going to let going to mean
anyway so I'm going to perform going
pass what it it's depending on how you
performing these tests Okay so are we're
going to do some tests okay so you're
going to keep following my stimulus with
your eyes only until I tell you to stop
you understand the
instructions yeah I do have can I please
qu I am deaf in this year so it is hard
for me to maintain my full balance even
if I'm not intoxicated it is hard for me
to maintain my balance go ahead and
follow just hit my finger okay
okay go ahead and blink a couple
times
okay I'm sorry I was I thought you were
no you just got to keep following it so
do it again no
problem okay so we're done with the
first one the second one's going to be
the walking turn Okay so for this one do
you have any physical problems or
disabilities besides the I'm DEA and
I've never been good at it I've
literally never been good at it okay do
you have any physical problems all it's
going to affect your balance but can I
please put my phone in my out of my
pocket it's going to help you okay so
just like this arms at your side still
so you can look at how I'm doing it
right now yeah you can go ahead and I'm
sorry I see enough like Facebook videos
that say oh not until you're start inst
so once you start walking don't stop
until you completed the test do you
understand the instructions okay begin
and count your first step as
one one 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
9 1 2 3 4 5
okay so we have one more test so for
this one we're going to get in the same
stance we're in for the first one so
feet together me I'm at a SL I know I'm
not a slant cuz I can feel it okay I
don't know if I can do it facing this
way pleas you'd rather do it again
facing that way I would yes you think
this is you think this is flat straight
and I'll get these sticks out of your
way so you can't walk on them I don't
need the sticks out of my way no I am
just say I will
anyways you you want to do the walkin
turn again is that what you're saying uh
no I'm not saying I want to do the walk
turn again I'm saying I can feel the
slant when I'm walking this way so I
would rather just stand this okay so we
can do we can walk there we can have to
walk it in that way that's what you want
to do you just was instructing me to
stand yeah but if you want if you think
this is slanted and you're not and you
want to do that I don't think I failed
that test whatsoever okay so for this
one I'm going to have you the first
chance just like how you were so if I'm
death any on here and I have a hard time
maintaining balance and I proove that in
court what does that do for affecting me
okay because I do have a death ear and
it is really hard for me to maintain my
balance okay so do you have
vertico I have um I can't remember the
name of it but you don't take meds for
it or anything I'm supposed to have a
hearing aid but I can't get a hearing
aid unless I'm in Poria or Chicago okay

three like that's crazy they're freaking
out so it's like wiing me out it's I'm
at
PTSD and I can't deal with that
like I didn't take my meds today so we
do got to figure out because I think you
have a prior conviction uh for DUI right
so do you do you know if you only have
one or do you have two I have one in
Illinois and one in Iowa and the one in
Iowa plan not guilty I'm trying to fight
that because I wasn't guilty so you had
one in Illinois and then you had one in
Iowa do you remember was that like
within the past like s years July 12th
of this year was that Illinois or Iowa
Iowa okay okay and then that one in
Illinois has it been a few years it has
been over a year and a half for the
Illinois one okay and I've been doing a
bunch of classes and bunch of stuff
that's not relevant to right now did you
have an Iowa license that happen

driver the whole night until I got

failed all the tests I don't know why
because I I tried to tell them that I'm
de I tried to tell them that I can't
balance well they didn't I don't know I
didn't think I didn't think that I
failed but according to them I failed
and they're telling me that there is a
possibility of doing I'm sorry what did
you say no so if you just cooperate and
we go down to the PD like we would give
you like an NTA and everything like that
more than likely we just got to figure
out can you explain this to my mom can
we can we just verify though for the
kids really quick because we got to find
somewhere for the kids to go I don't
have anywhere for the kids to go they
don't talk to Sarah anymore we have to
figure out somewhere for the kids I
don't talk to Sarah anymore mom saying
she can come and get them now she lives
two hours away okay she lives 2 hours
away they can stay with somebody at the
PD until she gets here Mom I'm not going
to have them go with and she beats them
no hello you let me talk to the police
I'm trying
I don't want to go stop screaming they

a mom three kids okay that's fine and I
do everything I can for them okay we
need to figure out a solution to bring
them somewhere you're so that don't mean
tell me to shut up and be quiet when I'm
trying cuz you're screaming and you're
freaking them out do you hear them
because they're not going to go with
Sarah the woman that be we just call
DCFS and that DCFS DCFS don't know that
Sarah Beats
which is the foster mom who took them
the last time we going to call DCFS if
you're not going to find out that's the
solution my mom is going to figure it
out go ahead and take a seat I'm going
to close the
door take a seat for me I'm going to
close the door so I can't know what's
going on with my mom okay we'll let you
know what she says cuz you just cost a
whole more Scene than I did cuz talking
to my
mom right okay here I'm going to put the
Cs back on you all right I don't even
need them bro I'm not going nowhere come
back take a step out here so I can put
the cffs back on you nope you got to
step out cuz you have to go behind you
oh my god seriously can I please find

with my mom please I'm trying to she
pays my bills take a seat she pays my
bills I'm trying to ask if she can
please go to my house okay why am I not
allowed to know now because you were
under
arrest I'm about to freak
out kids are going to PE their pants so
we need to figure out how to get them
back to yeah what did my mom say she's
going to head down here so the kids are
going to head down to the PD and and
wait with somebody till she get she said
she's going to head this way and but
take her about 2 hours so the kids are
going to wait at the PD with an officer
most likely or or with a social worker
or something until um your mom can
get okay you want to step out for me
some light
you ignoring me is
asking you ignoring me is asking me to
get I
was over at conversation that you're
supposed to protect that's my
right it's my right to know why am I not
seat belted in your
vehicle walk in there all
right so you've you've been convicted of
a d right at least
once yeah okay so because of
that if you say you don't want to do any
of these breath tests and you refuse
them your license gets suspended for 3
months okay but if you do do it and
you're over a 08 they get suspended for
one year okay does that make sense yeah
okay so if I don't do it if you don't do
it your license gets suspended for three
years three years I thought you said
three months nope three years if you
don't do it if you do do
it if you do do it and you're over 8 it
only gets suspended for one year we have
to wait 20 minutes
okay I have the itch on my lip
Okay okay do you want to step up here

me so now right now I'm going to hold
this okay all you're going to do is blow
into this like you're blowing up a
balloon okay so real hard until I tell

make a beep when you're done to stop

off so just take a seat and I'll let you
know what it is because your children
are in the car it's also going to be
endangering the life of the child

all to endanger the life or health of a
child okay we we'll we'll figure it out
and I'll let you know everything that

the dark in
anything okay okay so you can take a
seat so all I have to do is work on
paperwork um and then I'll get you out
