Yeah, I I know. I can see you.
And bonus bets only.
Hello. So, this was the only car
involved. I didn't see what happened.
Uh, hey
Did anybody see what happened?
I just came and seen all the smoke.
Hi there.
 You have an injury to your
head, too? Where's the blood coming
from?
 There's a bunch of scratches on
her head. She hit the windshield.
 How
old are you?
 Nine.
 Nine.
Is
 she the only one in the car?
 Her and
the mom.
 Okay. Mom,
a nine-year-old child with a severe leg
injury. Okay.
 My tires.
 Are you mom?
Yeah.
 What happened?
 I was trying to
move, you know, and the water on the
tires gave me too fast.
 Okay.
Is the car off?
No, it'll go off in a minute. Do you
have your driver's license with you?
Yes.
Yeah. Well, it's not going to turn off
until probably the battery dies, but
it's smoking a little bit. If you can
get out of the car, let's just get out
of the car. Okay.
[Laughter]
Can you come over here? Sure. And we'll
move a little bit away from the car so
they can there. Did you guys see what
happened?
 Basically, she was trying to
come around a bend and she got wheels
turned and she just slid right into it.
Where were we?
 I was coming I was
approaching the intersection
 from that
way towards
 So she had a green light
though.
You see the vehicle involved?
 Yes. Okay.
Because I was coming to a complete stop
on my side.
 So I believe she was I at
the time I didn't
 Does it look like she
was going fast or anything? No, actually
she looked like she I seen her coming
down the hill. She looked like she was
slowing down
 and she was taking the turn
pretty carefully and I to my
understanding then I seen her turn try
and turn. Her wheels were turning but
she didn't she wasn't going. She just
went and slid right into her hole.
 Okay.
When I opened up the doors, she her
daughter was bleeding in and uh she was
uh pretty
shook up. Yeah. Around the corner and
slooh there. Daughter's got a pretty
severe leg injury. That's what she said.
Um is this the little girl here? Yeah,
she's 9 years old. Um
got a little older mom. So, I'm probably
going to ask her some more questions
once I get in there.
Are they going to take her?
 I'm not
sure. I'm not sure. We'll let you know
where they're going and everything like
that. Have you had anything to drink
today?
 Uh earlier today. Yeah, I had a
little bit, but nothing more than it.
How much?
 I had like two or three shots
at about 3:00.
 3:00.
 Family? Yeah.
 Okay.
What were you drinking?
 Tequila. 1,800.
Did you have anything else? Any mixed
drinks or beer or anything like that?
Just two or three shots?
 No. around
3:00.
 Yeah, I was I was um going that
way toward Green Hills. I dropped my
friend off
 and her kids. They were all
in the car with us and then coming down
this way. My tire skidded and then I ran
into
 Is there a reason your daughter
wasn't wearing her seat belt?
No, she should have had it on.
 She
didn't obviously she hit her head on the
windshield there. You can see. And her
seat belt is locked
all the way to retract. Usually when you
get in a crash, they lock where they're
at. Like yours is locked. Yeah.
 You know
what I mean?
 She was clearly not wearing
her seatelt obviously from hitting her
head on the windshield, too.
So, have you had any other illegal
substances, marijuana, any other drugs
or anything like that?
 Just the three
shots today?
 Yeah. I don't I don't like
that.
I'm going to ask you to do a couple of
tests. tobacco. But other than that,
 I'm
going to ask you to do a couple of
tests. Okay. Can you first one, can you
just stand right over here for me?
 You
can leave that. Yep. Leave it wherever
you want.
 All right.
 Stand right over
here and face towards me. Over here.
Right in front of me. There you go. Put
your feet together. Put your hands down
to your sides like this.
Did you hit your head at all during the
crash?
 I don't think so.
 Have you had
any recent head injuries where you've
been hospitalized? Concussion? Anything
like that?
 Nothing like that. Okay. Do
you wear glasses or contacts?
 Um, I'm
supposed to wear glasses, but my glasses
were broken, so I have
 You don't have
any contacts in right now or anything?
For the first test, all you need to do
is stand still. You're going to follow
my finger with just your eyes without
turning your head. You understand that?
Yes.
 Okay.
Remember,
don't Move your head. Okay.
Okay. This next test, we're going to use
the sidewalk here. So, you can face down
that way.
 Yeah.
Just imagine there's a straight line in
the middle of the sidewalk there.
 Okay.
Put your left foot on that line. Put
your right foot in front of it touching
heel to toe just like this. Stay with
your hands down to your sides. No. Go
ahead and do that with your feet. Yep.
Right foot in front of the left. Hands

My crocs are a little
There you go. Stay just like that until
I tell you to begin the test. Do you
understand? When I ask you to begin,
you're going to take nine heel totoe
steps down that imaginary line. After
nine steps, you're going to turn around.
You're going to take nine heel toe steps
back down the line. I'm going to
demonstrate that for you. You can leave
the shoes on or take them off. off. I
don't want you to get your feet wet if
you don't want to.
 No, it's okay. I just
want to come.
 Put the straps down.
They're hard harder to cross.
Okay. I'm going to demonstrate that for
you now. Okay. So, if you can get back
into the starting position,
 right? Right
foot in front of your left foot touching
heel to toe.
 Hands down to your side.
Stay just like that. Okay. When I ask
you to begin, you're going to take nine
heel to toe steps down that line just
like this. One, two, three, all the way
to nine. After nine steps, leave your
front foot planted just like this. Take
a series of steps turning around. Nine
back. One, two, three.
 Make sure you
make sure you touch heel to toe on each
step.
 Keep your hands down to your sides
the whole time.
 Count your steps out
loud. And once you start the test, don't
stop until you've completed the whole
test.
 You understand?
 Yes.
 Okay, you can
go ahead and begin.

One more test. Go ahead and put your
feet together like this. Again, hands

your feet about 6 in off the ground just
like this. Okay?

to the ground and count out loud. 1,00

Okay, you can relax.
Okay, so at this point I do believe that
you're under the influence. You're going
to be placed under arrest for OVI. Okay,
go ahead and turn around and place your
hands behind your back.
From what?
 Place your hands behind your
back.
We're going to take her down to
Children's downtown.
Okay. Just because of the fact there's
two different head of her head and legs.
So that has to make us have to go to the
pharmacy. Okay. Children in Cincinnati
is the only

else know where she's going?

Hey.
Um, so they're taking me to the
Fairfield Police Department and they are
taking London to the children's
brunette.
She got hit and her foot is injured. So,
just letting you know. Wait, wait, wait.
Yeah, because they they're they're
arresting me because they're
due to the test they had me take,
they're saying that I have a OVI. So,
they are taking me to the Fairfield
Police Department and London is going
downtown to Children's Bernett office.
Can you wait till I get there so I can
help you through?
 How far are you?

Uh, my car's I I ran into the pole
because of the skid marks and
I am I am being arrested. I'm in
handcuffs in the cop car and they are
taking me to the Fairfield Police
Department.
No, I just had London. Charles is at the
house with Navy, so he doesn't probably
even know what's going on yet.
I did tell him that I accidentally, you
know, ran into the pole, but
other than that, yeah, London is going
downtown.
They They didn't take her to Liberty,
did they?
They went to Bernett, so she is going to
all the way downtown.
 Yeah, all the way
downtown.

No, probably not. I'm literally in
handcuffs in the back of a cop car and
he's generously letting me use my phone
to call you to let you know

Hello.
Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry. Her phone is
about to die. What's your name? What's
your first name?
 Kaitlyn.
 Caitlyn.
 Yes.

Fairfield
to the Fairfield Police Department.
Yeah. More than likely she'll be
released from there um very shortly.
Okay. So, do you mind I imagine she'll
she can call me from there or do I like
Yep. Yep. She can call you when we get
there or she can call somebody else.
She'll definitely need somebody to pick
her up from there. Um if she's getting
released and then um she told you
obviously where her London went.
 Yep. Do
you have any other questions?
 No. Um, I
don't think so. I'll just I guess I'll
go to London. I don't want her to be by
herself. So, okay. I appreciate your
your help. Um, thank you.
 Yep. She'll
call you here in just a few minutes.
Okay.
 I appreciate it. Thank you.
Oh, man.
Something else
Let's
have a seat right here in the chair.
We'll read this to you. You can follow
along on this copy if you'd like. It's
this top section right here. To nond
operating vehicle on the influence of
alcohol, drug or a combination of them.
If you refuse to take any chemical test
required by law, your high driving
privileges will be suspended
immediately. You have to pay a fee to
have the privileges reinstated. take a
chemical test and independent chemical
test taken in dispense.
In a few minutes, I'm gonna ask you to
take a breath test.
 That's what all of
that was about. Have you ever been
convicted of an OVI before?
 No.
[Applause]
So down here at the bottom it has the
consequences. So, if you refuse to take
the breath test, your license is going
to be suspended for one year. If you
take the breath test and you're over the
legal limit, then your license gets
suspended for 90 days, which is right
over here. And if you take the test and
you're not over the legal limit, your
license does not get suspended today.
Okay.
Actually, I'm going to ask you to take a
urine test because it looks like our
breath testing machine is not here.
You can stand up. I'll take the hangups
off of you.
So, since the test I'm asking you to
take is going to be a urine test instead
of a breath test like I was explaining
it to you, as long as you take the test
today, your license is not going to get
suspended.
 Um, are you are you going to
take the test?
 Okay. So,
 okay. So, the
process for that then is that obviously
you'll provide the sample today. We'll
have to send it to the lab to get tested
and uh once we receive the results back
then I'll just contact you and update
you what the results are and stuff like
that and then if there's a license
suspension it would go into effect at
that point. Okay.
So,
[Music]
you guys
No, we don't. updates once they're
transported by the medics. So, if you go
along these desks over there all the way
at the end, there's a light switch on
the outside. Just go to the last one
down there.
 Yep. The last one? No,
there's a light switch on the outside.
No, just fill it up at least halfway and
just leave it sitting on the shelf next
to the toilet. Okay,
[Music]
there's some toilet paper out here. Do
you want me to bring you some?
Thank you.
Yeah, I'll take
There's a button on the side of it.
There's usually a couple buttons. I
think it's the one on the right side of
it.
There's no soap. There's water in there.
There's hand sanitizer out here if you
want some.
Yep. And there's a phone on the desk
there you can use to call your sister if
you'd like. You know her number, right?
Uh I do like my one phone call.
 You can
make as many phone calls as you want.
Yeah, that's
[Applause]
I've never been in this position before.
Not me at all.
Hey Justin,
can you hear me?
Well, if the Can you come pick me up
from the police station
by your house?
By your house?
Yeah.
Um, Fairfield Police Station over by the
T-Mobile in Perkins where Charles used
to work.
No, you No, you can you can just come. I
just need a ride and Kaitlin's going to
pick London up
from the
Yeah.
Thank you.
Love you.
Do you need anything else from me?
 I
don't think so.
So, do you know what's going to happen
from here? Have any idea like what goes
on next?
 So, you are getting charged
with OVI and failure to control for the
crash. You will have a court date. Um,
it will be this Wednesday at 8:30 in the
morning. the worst day of the [ __ ]
week. 8:30.
 Yeah, you'll have a citation
with that information on it.
That'll be your arraignment. They'll
explain to you what the charges are, the
potential penalties, stuff like that,
and then give you time to get an
attorney after that.
What does that mean? They'll set it for
in a position like this. So, I don't
even know what any of this means.
 So, an
arraignment is where they explain to you
what the charges are. The court, it's
your first court appearance. Um, they'll
explain to you the two charges, the
potential penalties. They'll ask you how
much time you need to get an attorney.
Usually, they'll give you two weeks or
you can ask for a public defender at
that point. Then they'll do whatever
they do in the court to determine if you
get one. If that's what you're asking
for, they'll set it out for another
court date.
And then before your next court date,
you just have to speak with your
attorney about everything. whether you
get one yourself or whether they appoint
a public defender
to get your picture. If you can stand
right here, you're back against that
gray wall and just look up here at this
camera.
It's going to click a couple times. So,
just keep looking at the camera for a
few seconds.
Okay, you can sit back down.
This is that form that I read to you
about the test and the suspension and
whatnot. Um, so like I said, the when
the lab results come in, then I'll call
you to update you with it and let you
know what the results were. Okay. So,
you get a sign right there which says
driver's signature.
[Applause]
There's your copy of that. Your car was
towed by Wayne's Towing.
I'm sure you saw the damage on it. It's
not going to be drivable anytime soon.
So, you just have to get with your
insurance company about it and what they
want to do and what you want to do with
it. Okay. But that's where it's at.
Wayne's Towing, 1946 Fair Grove Avenue
in Hamilton.
 Okay.
 This is your
citation. Like I said, you're going to
have court this Wednesday. It's the 29th
at 8:30 in the morning.
 Where is that?
It's here at the Fairfield Police
Department. It's attached to the police
department. So, the address is up here
at 675 NIS Road. You're getting charged
with OVI and with failure to control for
the crash. Okay. You have questions
about that?
I guess not.
 Okay.
 But how is the water
on the road?
Well, there are people plenty of people
that drive there all the time every day
when it's raining when it's not raining
too fast. Honestly,
 there were I'm sure
I can't deny that
 at least hundreds of
people driving through that exact
intersection today. Yeah.
 That didn't
crash.
 Yeah. Okay.
Well, uh, we are actually all finished
up here. Um, and I'll walk you out to
the lobby. So, you'll be out there
whenever he gets here if he's not
already here.
Thank you.
just right out that way.
The front?
 Yep. Straight through the
next set of doors and you'll be out the
front. Okay. You're welcome.
Heat. Heat.
