Yep, I hear you. >> You didn't I asked you a question and then you said we're arresting you for a DUI. Just a moment of hesitation, but the price to pay was anything but small.

Look at the tip of my finger. Can you see it? Yes. >> Keep your hands down by your sides for me. And then just follow the tip of my finger with your eyes and your eyes only, okay?

I can demonstrate for you, and then we can start the test if you'd like. Sure, demonstrate for me. Do you want me to stand like this? This isn't a normal standing position. >> And that's part of the test, so keep your hands by your sides. Okay. In just seconds a decision was made, the handcuffs came out and she couldn't believe what had just happened to her at the scene. All right, at this point you're under arrest, okay? >> no, no, no, I'll do what you want. At this point you're under arrest for DUI. Oh my god. For why? I I literally I said I would agree with what you're doing and then you're arresting me. >> Because based on the totality of my investigation, you're impaired. I can do the nine steps forward if you'd like. >> at this point we're past that, okay? Do you have any weapons going to poke me, stab me, stick me, or hurt me?

And I asked you what and why I was being pulled over? Cuz you're asleep at that light. You weren't even pulled over. Uh I'll come to the station once I can get out of this pin and take over the DUI stuff. At the station questions came rapidly. Her attempt to reach a lawyer was interrupted and one crucial choice could determine her fate from that point on. All right, I have to look inside your mouth. Why? >> Open your mouth. For what? Because I have to do a mouth check. Can I have my lawyer present? >> No. All right. Here's my mouth. Uh Why are you acting so annoyed? This is your job.

Why is there no clarity? Why can't you say? I gave you a consult with an attorney. But why is there no the I'm not the attorney hung up on me. Because you were arguing with him. Just like you're arguing with me. Will you submit to a breath test? I'm asking questions. >> we're going to write a warrant. We're going to take your blood. I don't understand what you mean.

We're going to take your blood and then we're going to take you to jail. He was charged with DUI. Next, just seconds after the car drove the wrong way and ran a red light, officers realized this was no longer a routine traffic violation. Ma'am, you're under arrest in the name of the Flagler County Sheriff's Office, okay? The reason for the stop today is that not only did I watch you drive the wrong direction on Palm Coast Parkway, you went eastbound in a westbound lane. You pulled out of the apartment complex, which I watched you turn around in. You pulled back out. You came back out. You failed to yield to oncoming traffic. One, two, you also did not stop prior to entering a public roadway from a private roadway. Does that make sense? Is there any Can you roll this down, please? I know it's just your child. What Just roll that down of the car I'm not getting where there's big red signs that say do not enter or wrong way or there's one-way signs there all over. With that being said, you committed multiple traffic infractions when I initiated my traffic stop, you stopped in the very middle of the of the intersection. Do you understand that? Do you understand how dangerous that was for not only your passenger but the child in the backseat of the vehicle for stopping in the direct intersection prior to me even initiating my traffic stop. Before I even initiated my traffic stop, before I put turn my lights in and my sirens on, you were in the middle of the intersection. You had stopped in the middle of the intersection. You ran the red light and continued to sit in the middle of the intersection. I'm getting out of the Yep, you can take your seatbelt off. So, why am I stepping out of the vehicle? You stepping out of the vehicle for our safety, for your safety because I believe at this point you might be intoxicated. You have not listened to any of my instructions. You ran past the you ran past the red light, you didn't stop, you continued forward and you cannot answer simple instructions. So, I need you to step out of the vehicle. Step back here for me. Is your driver's license in the car? Okay, is there registration or anything to the vehicle? Yep, that's fine. Yeah, there Yeah, it's in the passenger Can you just stay up here with her? All right, let's hop back here. My driver's license is in my purse. Can she get it for me? Yeah, she can get it. You can lean your butt up butt up against my car cuz you look like you're having a hard time keeping your balance. You got this. It's okay, I get it's cold, all right? The only reason I'm so frustrated with you right now is not only did you put multiple citizens in danger, you put your passenger and that child in danger. Is there a reason why you might be having such a hard time following traffic laws tonight? >> A strange smell from the car, slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, the sobriety test was about to reveal a hard truth. You're having a hard time standing, you're driving the wrong way on the road, a lot of a lot of cues are pointing to you being possibly intoxicated or under the influence of something. Does that make sense? Hang tight here for me, okay? She's saying she hasn't had anything to drink. I'm not smelling anything. Car reeks of weed and she's slurring, her eyes are bloodshot, she's driving the wrong way in the road, she's not listening to instructions. Can you do your your evaluation to see if there's anything there? >> I'm going to on the side of the road. Here's the deal, okay? Daphne Medina's already explained it to you. Uh we're doing a DUI investigation, okay? Now is your time to be honest. Have you consumed any alcohol tonight? Okay, have you consumed any narcotics, I don't know, anything at all? Do you take prescription medication? No. All right. I'm going to move this around. Follow it with your eyes and your eyes only. Don't move your head. Okay. When I tell you to start, take nine heel-to-toe steps in the line, turn and take nine heel-to-toe steps down the line. One. Two. Five. Oh, I'm sorry. Sorry. Six. Now I turn around. Can I turn around with my shoes on? What's that? Can I turn around with my shoes on? Well, I asked you if you're comfortable in your socks. Don't stop the exercise. You got I can't help you from that. That's why I asked you if you had any questions. You got to continue on. Seven. Eight. Nine. All righty, turn around for us. All righty, we're going to walk back over to the patrol car once it's safe, okay? As the handcuffs tightened, officers discovered what was lying right next to the child, and the situation instantly shifted from dangerous to shocking. All right, ma'am. You're being placed under arrest for driving under the influence, okay? Based on everything that we observed, your driving pattern, you're under the influence of alcohol. You're driving the wrong way down the street with a baby in the car. Is there anything on you or inside of you that is illegal? Drugs, knives, hand grenades, pistols. Cuz here's the thing, when you get down to the jail, you're going to go through a body scanner x-ray machine. If they find it once you go in the jail, it's a felony. Right now we're dealing with a misdemeanor. So, if you tell us now, we can take care of it. It's a lighter colored one. Whose bag is that? What's in the bag, but you know, what did you put in the bag? I I just got that from home. So, it should >> got it >> It should be a like a sketchbook. It should be crayons. And that's it. I do have a Xanax prescription. If it's in my bottle Huh? If it's in a bottle, then yes. So what what THC just cuz I haven't really looked through it, what THC products do you have in that bag? So your boyfriend put THC products in your child's No, it's my lunchbox, but I just like finished stuff in there. Okay, so your boyfriend put the THC products in your box knowing that you were taking your child to So where are the THC pens from? That's my boyfriend. Your boyfriend, these are your boyfriend's pens, not her pens. >> know if it's her pens or my pens. >> You just told me that your boyfriend they're your boyfriend's. I didn't know the cards are obviously mine. So why do you have possession of them? So you've already told me that the THC products in the bag are your boyfriend's. And that he put them in the lunchbox. Did you bring them for her? Like did Is it his that you brought for her? The explanations kept changing, contradictions piling up until officers made a decision. It was time no one was left out anymore. Whether or not she put it in your bag, she's claiming that you have gotten it from your boyfriend, which is accurate to the to the story you told me that you got it from your boyfriend and that he put it in there. I don't even understand like I don't know I I've never been in this situation. I care about my baby. You might have this and you might have that, but you got to be you got to understand in our predicament, okay? Our perspective. I want to believe you. I wish I could believe you, but what you're telling me may may sense makes sense to you, but it doesn't because if you are being warned that you may have something that you're not supposed to have in your possession after you leave, mind you, you were warned. In general, as well as what is in that box? Like what that lunchbox? Why is it so important? But he's not here, so why did you take it? Cuz I just told you it's for him too. Like I literally was like rushing out. I literally was on So everything's out in the open, right? So, if I knew that was in there, cuz your family knows you have this car. Yeah, but do you have a car? Okay, so what I've what I've gathered so far, okay, hear me out. You're saying that I'm I'm not frustrated with you, okay? What we're trying to do is we're trying to get down to the bottom of what's going on. Can I buy with this? It's It seems like I'm lying. I'm just saying I'm frustrated. I'm pissed off. I don't know why. >> I would see why you're pissed off because your friend is driving inebriated with your 2-year-old in the car. If she was swerving, I would know. You guys were driving into oncoming traffic. I didn't say that. I was like facing that way, and then I saw you. Regardless of that, the issue that we've we're coming across here is that you're lying to us, okay? This could be easily settled. You have the THC pens in your possession in your bag. You've told me already that they're they are your boyfriends, right? We've already Hear me, okay? You've told me already that the THC the THC pens are your boyfriends. >> There's a backpack, it's your backpack, it's in the car with you. The actual owner you're claiming is No, that's He's like, "I have the weed backpack." I No, the vapes Those THC pens were inside of the cooler box. Yes, you have been warned before that there might be stuff from the search. The kind of gun the cooler box is not in my backpack.
