of this
car okay
so have you drank anything tonight I had
a drink like 2 and 1/2 hours ago 2 and 1
half hours ago yeah I have I've been I
had one drink 2 and 1 half hours ago
okay so I don't want to lie to you so I
I appreciate you being truthful with me
with a heavy odor of alcohol coming from
inside the car I just want to make sure
that you're good to drive I'm perfectly
fine to drive I promise you obviously
you've got at least two passengers that
are under the influence okay yeah so my
goal is to make sure that you made the
right choice yeah and that you're
driving
I get it so what I'm going to do is I'm
going to turn my lights off make sure
that um they're not blinding you I'm
just going to check your eyes really
quick yeah yeah of course of
course what did you guys do tonight we
were just hanging out at my house yeah
yeah where you are you guys heading home
or yeah I'm trying to I'm just trying to
get them home safe I didn't want them
driving so you know where they live yeah
they're at one of their friend's houses
I don't know if I don't know close yeah
it's like 10 minutes away cuz you are
transporting from what I've observed
intoxicated juveniles so I'm obviously
you're in theory doing the right thing
or make sure they're not driving but uh
we might if we get if it comes to that
we might have them just get picked up by
parents yeah okay that's fine I just I I
am being honest I really can't like my
vision isn't the tonight so just cuz I'm
just waiting for my new glasses to come
in okay I'm going to ask you a couple
questions these are all medical
questions make sure that you're not
going to drop dead in front of me okay
um so you already explained that you
have glasses and cont is it glasses and
contacts no I just went to the
optometrist two days ago and just got
glasses for the first time okay so I'm
just wait I'm just waiting for those to
come in okay but you're not wearing them
right now not right now um are you
diabetic no are you epileptic no do you
know what that is yes it's when you have
like seizures and stuff perf um do you
have any issues with your neck back
shoulders hips knees ankles anything
like that
okay um all right so what I'm going to
have you
do is just follow the tip tip of my pen
with your eyes and your eyes only if you
need to hold your chin to make sure
you're not moving your head side to side
yeah that works for me as long as you
just keep falling okay TI right are you
going to use the black part of the
pen well both ends are black so what I
usually do is I stick my finger at the
top I just want to make sure so I can
see it just like see the that so just
follow my finger okay
um do you understand the instruction I
know that truck
okay it's
okay blink your eyes a couple times I
know kind of straighten this on your ey
yeah all right for this one same thing
hold your head still for me and then I'm
just going to go up okay like I said
keep your head still it's going to
stretch your eyes yeah just try to
follow the stimulus as it go up okay
okay
um I'm going have you step over here for
me so don't use this line because that
Line's crooked let's stand here I would
use the parking lines but you got
friends in the car I don't want to if
you want to go all the way over there or
I can go over there I don't really care
it's up to you I I genuinely don't
care I stay in my car if they if they
want well no my thing is I just don't
you're just audience kind of thing it
doesn't bother me it's whatever is
easiest for you okay so um Paige what
I'm going to have you do is I'm going to
have you I'm going to explain some
instructions to you but while I'm doing
the instructions I want you to put your
left foot on an imaginary line in front
of
you there you go perfect and you're
going to put your right foot in front of
your left foot with your heels touch and
hold your hands down by your side like
that and then just hold that position
until I tell you to start this test I'm
just going to give you some instructions
do you understand that okay so for this
test it's called the walk and turn test
you're going to start from that position
you're going to take nine Heel To Toe
steps take a series of small steps to
turn around take nine heed toe steps
back does that make sense yeah okay so
I'm going to give you an example so you
don't fully understand so you're going
to start from this position keeping your
hands down by your side going to count
out loud one two three making sure your
steps are Heel To Toe I took three
you're going to take nine take a series
of small steps to turn around and take
nine steps back okay one two three I
took three you're going to take nine
okay so just nine steps both way correct
make sure you keep your hands down by
your sides um count your steps out loud
and taking a series of small steps to
turn around okay and you can start
whenever you
like 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 all right and you
can
relax next test is just a oneel leg
stand you have any issues standing on
one foot either foot doesn't matter I
have really can I take my shoes off
you're sh kind make it hard and I have
flat feet so sometimes my balance gets
weird according to my physical trainer
soine so um for this test I'm going to
have you stand with your feet together
hands down by your sides like this just
hold that position until I tell you to
start for this test is a oneel leg stand
test so lift either foot off the ground
6 in whatever is easy which one ever is
easiest for you what I want you to do is
point your toe parallel to the ground
while looking at your your toe and count
out loud in the following manner 1 1001
1 100002 10003 I tell you to stop making
sure we're keeping our hands down by our
sides pointing our toe looking at our
toe and count it out loud do you
understand yeah all right go ahead and
start for me 1 1,00 2 1000 3 1,000 4
1,000 5 1,000 6 1,000 7 1,000 8 1,000 9
1,000 10 1,000 11 1,000 12 1,000 13
1,000 14 1,000 15 1,000 161,000 17 1,000
18 1,000
oh 19 1,000 21,000 21 1,000 22 1,000 23
1,000 24 1000 and
stop how many drinks have you truly had
one or two one or two yeah okay it was
one or two and I was what what were your
drinks were they were just like seltzers
salzers like Jules white claws High news
Okay High news okay yeah what
flavor uh I don't know I didn't buy them
oh okay all right um and then how old
are you 18 18 so you're aware that
you're not supposed to be drinking okay
and then do you understand that the
level for somebody that's underage is
less than I don't know of an adult I
don't know the exact number off the top
of my head okay it's a 02 okay okay so
I'm getting observations that you've had
probably more than two drinks off the
top of my head I remember like two
drinks like I remember but I'm never for
sure and then I'm concerned because your
driving was extremely poor I was
following you for about a mile and
you're driving over the double yellow
the whole time I probably should have
had my brights on just cuz no one was in
front of me I I really I can't like your
brights like just so I could see a
little bit better okay just because like
I can see you but behind you everything
is a little bit blurry okay maybe that's
something that we should also think
about while we're driving at 3:00 in the
morning my I I probably shouldn't be
driving with all my glasses okay um who
are the go ahead yeah go ahead and put
your my feet are getting cold who are
the individuals in your car um they're
juniors at mher their names are Zion
Javon and Cooper in CER okay and are you
taking them all to one house is what the
plan was yes okay all right um so uh I'm
going to be honest with you I think
you're impaired okay um so I'm going to
arrest you so I don't want
to put you in handcuffs in front of all
these people but we're going to start
working on trying
to getting them home through parents or
whatever okay they're in talks I mean
yeah that the odor of alcohol coming
from the car is M pretty bad okay so I'm
not going to put put you in handcuffs
we're going to be cool calm and
collected for a little while okay I'm
going to put you in the back of my car
all right okay um am I allowed to call
my parents not yet we'll get there okay
so do do you have anything on I don't
have anything on like not my keys or my
phone or anything I assume that you
don't have any Pockets or anything that
no okay so what I'm going to do is I'm
going to walk over here okay come follow
me yeah like I said on the other side of
this
car um to go back
okay take a deep breath
Jo in the back yeah okay so that's a
seat belt right there if you want to
pull that from out from underneath you
which way this one yep it's it's on that
side
yeah other way it's kind of backwards
cuz it's in the back of a police
Court

take you back to the police department
um give you some paperwork and then your
dad will have to come pick you up all if
he sometimes he just doesn't wake up to
his phone that's fine we can have the
officer go out there if they needs to or
something like that but hopefully we can
um where's your phone where's your phone
at it's in the car where in the car it
should be plugged into the cord like in
the passenger seat there's like a cord
that's connected to like the center
console there's a cord that's it should
be connected to that cord I don't know
exactly where I said it before I got out
of the car that's fine I'll I'll grab it
so we have it immediately for and you
don't have your driver's license with

right
yep take a seat in that chair kind of in
the corner there there
yep sorry it's dark you're
good all right um I have to read this
form to you yeah this well I'm going to
wait to read it but I'm going to kind of
explain it um so this form is the it's
called the BMV
2255 excuse me um it's the implied
consent form you get
when you um sign up for your license so
it basically states that you won't drive
or drink and drive um so at the end of
reading this form to you I'll explain
some um situations as far as um driver
license suspensions and those are given
by the BMB yeah okay um and then you'll
have a court date
for um this whole document basically in
the next 5 days um but it'll be a couple
minutes while this machine's warming up
and then we have to wait till another

can go there and try to wake them up cuz
if not we can't give anybody to pick you
up I take you to jail okay I don't want
to do that yeah
so PA have you gotten word from your dad
at all um he said he was on his way okay
I don't see his car in the parking lot
but I'm yeah he lives on downtown L and
I don't know exactly where part is oh
okay so
81 okay
um I'm only waiting for the sheet for
your car so I've got all my stuff
done
um I can have you sign it now while I've
got you here
yeah
Jesus um so this is the yellow piece of
paper I told you about um just got your
your information the vehicle information
and been informed about the suspension
um what have you do is s right
here okay um and then this is your
citation um your court date is going to
be February 29th at 8:30 in the morning
at Claremont County Municipal are you in
high school yes okay um
[Music]
I would try giving them a call and see
if you can schedule your court date
later in the evening because of school
situations sometimes the court allows
that because you are still in school
they take that as a priority but um call
them to figure that out otherwise that's
your court date okay and just to explain
um the citation this is the reason I
stopped use from the mark Lanes you were
driving left of that double yellow like
I was telling you yeah and then this is
my observations of your impairment and
this one is like your breath test okay
um so that's all that any questions for
me
no do you know like a rough s just so I
can figure out how much I'm going have
to take out of my bank account for like
I wish I could tell you I have no idea
okay I just don't I'm just worried cuz
all my stuff for school is in my car so
do you is is it going to be easy to get
it back
before um I'm I'm pretty sure tow truck
companies are open on the weekends um
but worst case scenario you wait till
Monday but your mom's going to have to
pick up the car yeah that's fine I just
she the one that was in Florida she gets
back on Sunday from Florida okay she
doesn't live there she yeah so so when
we get that piece of paper I can explain
it to you try to get it's kind of
explained at the bottom of that piece of
paper but um your mom will have to have
a copy a title and a picture ID when she
goes pick up basically just states that
she is who she is yeah um and that
releasing the car to the owner so not
somebody else is taking okay so also I
don't know much about my car insurance
my car insurance is under my name but
she's bring your your insurance so is it
so I don't she still has to pick up the
vehicle if the car insurance is in my
name m so for the the citation purpose
it's your insurance you need to make
sure you bring your insurance for you
okay but um as far as the toe trunk the
tow truck company that'll be all
underneath your mom's insurance okay um
if if it needs to be stored or anything
like that but if you're planning on
picking up as soon as possible and you
won't have any issues there um another
thing to explain with your citation and
I would recommend informing parents
about this is that because you're under
the age of um 21 it's an M4 it's not an
M1 you know what that when I say that
okay so there's different levels of
misdemeanors so you've heard of felonies
right yes so Mis meanors are like the
lower crimes okay and there's
um levels to that you have your minor
misdemeanor your M4 M3 M2 M1 M1 is your
typical um adult OVI yeah um you have
just have an M4 so it's a little bit
more but a little little less than a
normal adult OVI but a little bit more
than like a speeding ticket okay if
that's if that helps explain things um
so your court date is February 29th 8:30
in the morning if you don't mind signing
the top portion right there for me just
state that you've been informed of your
court date and you're aware of where
it's located you said Claremont County
Claremont County Municipal it's a big
white building next to the county jail
okay perfect if you do have any
questions um right there at the top is
the address I check booxed do I get a
copy of this of course okay perfect just
want to make
sure thank you there's your copy but
sounds like your Dad's here so let's go
get you to your dad and I'll explain
some things to him if he's got any
questions for
me so there's some light switches on the
right side of the wall down here we're
we're going to stop the light
switches where do you go to
school up the stairs yep
I assume you're a senior with being 18
yeah do you know where you're going to
school yet my perfect yeah okay
cool it's a good school yeah I love it
there it's got a good reputation too
yeah hello sir doing
well you
did she's been more than Cooperative
with me um the one thing I wanted to
tell you is we're still waiting for a
tow sheet um they're finishing up right
now if you want to wait I can kind of
explain that form to you so when you get
your copy makes a little bit more sense
but um I'll kind of stall until we can
potentially have somebody right up sorry
to wake you up in the middle of the
night oh I'm glad this is the call
something worse yeah that's yeah that's
a great Point um so this tow sheet form
is going to be it's your mom right yes
okay so Mom is the restant owner of the
vehicle so she'll need to bring a copy
of her um driver's license or photo ID
of some sort as well as the title okay
um the toach they'll refuse to give it
release the vehicle otherwise and where
is that um that's the question I don't
quite know yet because they have that
that piece of paper so um if you don't
mind kind of I'm trying to hold hostage
any longer than you have but if you want
to hang out here you got a rough ETA is
to win that M uh I was told less than 5
minutes okay so and that was hopefully 2
minutes ago right fair enough um but
yeah so I appreciate your patience
cooperation um more than a polite woman
I appreciate that um and like I said
we'll get your uh back back on the road
shortly yeah but all right any questions
for me uh no okay no if you want to take
a seat I will give I'll step out real
quick give my coworker a quick call see
if we can get update on a ETA so we can
get that form to you is going down
okay and uh when it's time to pay them
just give them direct I mean we don't
send anything to the township this is
all it's all through them cool all
right well okay looks like you're
uh got some recovery to
do got work this off and you know
roughly I mean ballp power how much it
would be to
each each towing company is different so
I unfortunately I don't even couldn't
even give you a bubble Park on that so
and they change their pricing whenever
they feel right they wi all right so
okay thank you Paige thank you for
coming to pick her up yeah no wor thank
you very much appreciate it y take safe
out there all right
[Music]
oh
