making sure he doesn't say you have any
it has any pain right here his arm but
we just saw that his side of his face
was a little droopy we didn't know if
there's any type of medical issue going
on as well but if you guys just check
them out real quick make sure there's
nothing majorly wrong with them
all right let me go
okay
okay so i mean
i don't feel like i feel like he's had

teeth give me a big smile um
i got it okay
you guys can get today
no it's it's good
yeah he was driving on the wrong side of
the road at first i thought there were
some medical issues but then his eyes
are too glossy
and then um on top of that
he has an extremely slur speech but he
said he wasn't diabetic he says he's
taking some weird medication
he doesn't appear to be having a stroke
the left side of his face did appear
droopy but after talking to him it
wasn't getting worse
um as we're here i i see the water
bottle in his little cups and so i just
asked for his water bottle i shake it up
and it foams like real fast so at that
point i
figured it was vodka
and then we pulled him out he comes out
staggering and then you can start to
smell the order of alcohol so i just
before we proceed with the dwi
investigation i just wanted you guys to
get him
make sure his um
yeah everything's good to go
um why don't you let me take it he can
work on newspaper while i do it that's
cool because you gotta um you gotta make
sure that all this stuff is good to go
so
i'll we'll we got it covered
um why don't you guys go 1019 and get
all that stuff
done yes sir okay
um i'm not going to do a walk and turn
or won't like stand with him because he
almost
um
i'll try to do hgn we're gonna have to
do blood draw
all right this guy blows
oh true age you know
but dude like i'm hanging out there with
my radar i'm waiting for it because it's
like
just going to scream right
my radar's got to scream right like at
100 miles an hour you figured that the
radar would go
so i'm chilling there
and i'm looking at this parking down the
hill and i'm like i'm coming pretty slow
i'm like
wait
what hello
sorry
so i'm looking at him like is it in the
wrong lane and dude it's f-lining for me
so i put it in dry because i'm on the
side of the road
and i take off so i don't get hit
uh negative we'll get all that here in a
little bit thank you
so then i take off
but he stays in the um inside lathe
and i get turned around and i'm like
surely this guy knows he's on the wrong
lane right so i light it up and go under
30 miles an hour
and then he slow rolls to this light
because i guess it's red i don't know if
it's red or green
and i'm like screw it i'm just going to
cut them off
and i get this [ __ ] out
but dude the whole way down here going
the wrong way
i honestly didn't know like
if i was going to call out pursuit yet
because i saw the gas station
and i'm like surely he'll just pull over
there right now
but i'll just take it no you're good i
got it
so i got you two today yeah
the reason why i call right i kept
medics coming is just so they can say
that his pulse is good and all that
stuff you know does he have mitt romney
you ran him right
um yeah but they're not finding them
so we'll just run all this stuff
he says he has his wallet on her or
something he's just gonna
dude thank god they called them in huh
this guy is from the 100 mile marker
they called him in from the 100 mile
marker

still in gear
i wasn't thinking about my unit that's
weird
oh yeah yeah

anything out of them
so drippy is angry
hey thanks for coming
thank you for checking in
what's going on
we didn't know either i was like what
little vodkas

okay
how long ago did you drink them because
you had that one in your center console
yeah
my radar like oh god
three hours
two three hours ago coming down the hill
slowing down whatever on the scale of
one to ten
the most intoxicating thing i've ever
been the one
where would you rate yourself right now
and then he's coming into the inside
lane and i'm like oh my
off all god
sir and then he corrects and you almost
fell down over here in the middle of the
road
i don't want to do a standardized field
spreading test because i don't want you
to hurt yourself luckily there were no
other there was no other traffic is it
fair to say that you don't feel like
you'd be safe to be driving tonight
that's what happened okay yeah i know
all right thank you guys
your son lives up the road all right
would it be
would you say it'd be because you rated
yourself a seven out of ten would you
feel safe to say that it's not um
you weren't safe to be driving a motor
vehicle tonight we're in the parking lot
of speedway 46 one time color's great
um
but that that's my question sir is you
can't drive you were driving in the
opposite lane did you understand that
right
okay
so
my question to you mr potero is
do you like
is it safe to say that you feel like
you're too impaired to be driving a
motor vehicle tonight
uh
i i can call my uh son okay
we can't we can't call sons right now

yourself 7 out of 10.
do you think you're safe to drive
i have a son
we've been talking to you and you go off
on tangents you're not answering our
questions it's almost like you're not
understanding the question okay
i i can leave my car here and i have my
son come why would you want to do that
