on New Year's Eve in 2022 officer
Hubbert from the local police department
was cruising down a busy road with
Sergeant Bobo ahead responding to a call
as they approached an intersection the
traffic light for southbound traffic was
green suddenly they spotted a car
pulling a U-turn even though the left
turn and U-turn signals were red officer
Hubbert noticed the car weaving and
decided to pull it over with Sergeant
Bobo's help they initiated a traffic
stop
hey I'm off for over we could Police
Department so the reason I pulled you
over man is where you kicked that U-turn
on CY Parkway to come back this way you
ran a red light to do that cuz me and uh
the other car in front of us were coming
I thought it green so me and the other
car are coming straight and we had a
green and anytime we got green that

the wheel and Michelle Scott as the
passenger Michelle claimed she thought
the light was green and urged Richard to
go officer Hubbert had observed liquid
being thrown out the window which
Michelle initially claimed was just
water from her bottle but was actually

out and noticed an alcoholic odor about
him Richard admitted to having one beer
earlier despite signs of impairment like
red watery eyes and the alcohol smell
Richard continuously lied refusing

I got you I promise you she not on like
this is not a difficult situation all so
so listen I'm not trying to make nothing
difficult at all the less stuff you take
with you the better that's why I was
asking about taking the watch off do you
want me to take the watch off and leave
it with her I me you're fine I mean you
want to bring it with you Miss okay okay
is there anything in the car that you
want to bring with you no you don't have
a wallet or anything like that uh a cell
phone cell phone we want the cell phone
okay all right um has she been drinking
like can she drive or she can drive all
right I'm check I'm gonna go check her
and make sure just phone all right
[Music]
hey
anything hey stay stay right there okay
can you do that for me I'm fine but I
just don't understand like what's the
like okay so he so okay listen to me so
uh Mr dos is going coming with me okay
so he's under arror DUI all right so
listen uh I don't know what you threw
out um I told I well throwing out some
water out of a water bottle makes
absolutely makes listen to me makes
absolutely zero sense we just left from
the I got what makes sense is when
people throw drinks are not supposed to
have in a car on a traffic stop out but
they don't let you take anything out of
I understand that doesn't mean people
don't do it
so so listen he he refused everything
[Music]
all right so there's no weapons or
anything in here no you don't have no
okay I'm going to put this is his brush
and his hat put that right
there all right this is just his phone
that's okay I'm going to take his phone
cuz he wants to break why he wants to
another girl probably is calling him I
don't know nothing about that he wants
his phone it's his phone he can take his
phone does it make sense this is just so
insane got watch your arm I got to I I
have to look around in the vehicle you
don't have permission yeah I don't need
permission I'm I don't need
permission hey McGee she can step out
now why can I step out you can step out
St step out step out of the car step out
of the car please why okay listen what's
your name again my name is Miss Scott
all right I'm trying to make this as
easy as we can I appreciate that
I'm yeah well he's what now don't matter
step yeah I need you to step out you can
take the phone with you but you can step
out but I just don't understand why
because this is procedural stuff that we
do anytime we arrest people for DUI and
stuff like that we do what's called
search incident to arrest so I'm going
to look around inside this vehicle for
the presence of intoxicants it's what we
do okay is perfectly within the realm of
the law I need you to step
out thank
you for
can you open that
[Music]
[Music]
who's uh who's
champagne who's his ass
that's not what I
asked okay that's
[Music]
F so I'm going to go with whatever was
in that the beer is what got thrown out
I'm I'm going go with that
[Music]
yeah especially since it's all on your
uh half in your side door all
right all right
uh give me a second and I'mma give her
uh I'mma
see so let me ask you this if I bring a
PBT out for you to blow into what that a
PBT a portable breath test so all that
is is I'm trying to make sure that
you're okay to drive I mean I live right
up that's if I'm bringing PBT out for
you to blow will you blow I blow I don't
care
okay that oh that's is I got to grab
it
sir yeah yeah we're good man she's kind
of not really thrilled with me but you
know it is what it
is all right so there's a brand new
straw so he did not he refused
everything so so how do you know that
he's
like so I have the odor alcohol his eyes
are bloodshot and glassy and then the
moving violations and stuff and so that
is like that's the basics that we need
okay just cuz people refuse doesn't mean
like they can't get charged with
something might make it a little
difficult later on but so just take a
deep breath and blow into this and I
tell you to
stop you blow there you go okay so look
it's a deep breath
M I'm a cigarette smoker so I got you so
this is not to get you in trouble this
is to see if I this is this is to listen
listen to me listen to me this is to see
if you can take possession of that
vehicle and I'm going to let you drive
away or I'm going to make you callado
that is what this is my all right big
deep
breath and then
boy boyyy boy you're not boy
I aming so listen this thing whenever
you start it has air traveling through
it it makes a noise and
goes so whenever you put your mouth on
it and you don't blow this thing it just
says blow that's all it says and it
doesn't make a noise right deep breath
blow blow keep
going I had tonight was charer and we
smoked a nasty cigar as a cigar all
