Driver's desperate attempt to avoid DUI arrest backfires. Officers respond after a driver crashes into a front yard. Here's what happens when they approach her. >> Hi. >> Hi. >> Are you okay? >> Yeah, I'm fine. >> What happened? >> I'm just trying to back out of this culdeac. >> Culdeac. >> Well, this yard I live >> two blocks away. >> Okay. Turn off the car for me. Put it in park. >> Put it in Put it in park. >> Okay. Do you have the key with you? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Where? How did you get into this yard? >> Um, I made a left turn because I thought this house was doing buying something for free and I went in there. So, that's what I did. >> Well, you made a left turn and you what? I made a left turn to get in this site that I'm on buying nothing free and I was going to get it and you know I was here sip of alcohol but I know cuz I've been like 26 days alcohol free that I know I can't have a drink And you know it affects you don't need paramedics. >> I'm two blocks away. I'm going home. >> Okay. >> And I've reached out to >> all my NA people. All my AA people. >> So Sabrina, I my reasoning is you're in the middle of a yard. You're backed up to a tension line on a utility pole. That's why you can't back your car up because that is directly behind your vehicle. And you said that you were just turning left to come this way. Where where were you before this? >> After noticing that the woman's explanation does not line up with the path her vehicle traveled. Officers ask her to explain how she ended up in the yard. >> I was driving on my way home from Chicago Heights to Homewood. >> Okay. And the first street on the left is Popular Avenue and that takes me to Evergreen and that's my home and they're waiting for me. >> Okay. Do you know Do you know the intersection you're at right now? >> Yeah. >> What is it? >> Uh ID Wild. No, no. 100 Wait. Regal Road and um 187th Street. >> Right. So why did you make a left to come over here if you live? And that's that would be a right. You'd make a right and then turn left on popppler and go all the way down and around. So how did you end up over here? >> Cuz I was looking for that house that had buy nothing free, you know. >> Oh, I gotcha. So you were looking for the buy nothing free house. Do you know what street that's on? >> Um I thought it was this house right here. >> Okay. I go there all the time and I give away stuff to them, too. >> Okay. And that's how you ended up in their front yard. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Well, so do me a favor, Sabrina. I'm going to have you step out of the car real quick. Okay. >> What? If anything else happens in my life, I'm not going to live anymore. >> What do you mean? >> I've been trying to do so good. >> Okay. >> And I'm not a bad person. I'm not a bad person. I didn't say you were a bad person, but your car is in the middle of someone's yard leaned up against like a a tension line for a utility pole. So, I need you away from it cuz it's a concerning spot for it. >> They continue asking questions to figure out what caused the vehicle to leave the road. >> Where were you in Chicago Heights? I was um I was at um the Family Dollar. I was running errands and then >> Okay. >> I was on my way home. >> Mhm. >> Running errands and then you're on your way home. >> Yeah. >> Okay. The issue I'm having here is you said you take some medication that is a controlled substance that could affect your driving, but you're saying you only had one of them, >> right? >> That's what I'm supposed to actually I'm supposed to take two a day. >> Right. So, >> and I didn't. >> Right. So, that medication isn't the justification for why your car is here like this. >> No. >> Right. Okay. So, the other reason is you said you had one sip of alcohol and you were 26 days sober up to this point. But again, one sip of alcohol would not have done this and made your car end up like this. That's not and that doesn't make a lot of sense. And if you were coming from Chicago Heights and you made a left >> to come here looking for the buy free sell, >> can I go home? >> I mean, not at this time. So, I got to figure out what's going on because right now your car is up in someone's front yard. Damaged their bushes. You knocked over a fire hydrant. So, I have to figure out what's going on before I can let you go anywhere. >> Okay. >> Do you understand what I'm saying? >> Okay. >> Do you live with anybody? >> I'm not going to live anymore after this. >> What? >> I'm not going to live anymore after this. >> What do you mean? >> There's no reason for me to live. There's no reason. >> ECOM 46. >> I know. >> Hang out with my partner for one second. >> During the conversation, the woman makes several concerning statements. So, officers request paramedics while continuing to investigate possible impairment. >> Neither one of us said anything about DUI. >> Right. I didn't say anything about a DUI, ma'am. That's why I'm asking you all these questions because you're saying you take a medication for a controlled substance. >> It's all it's all >> you're saying you have medical problems. all about, you know, you know, and I know, both of you know, it's all about, you know, the county and how could somebody that hit a car and was drunk got off of it, but she had her dad that paid $10,000. >> What's the relevance of >> right? What's that relevance right now, Sabrina? I haven't mentioned anything about court. I haven't mentioned anything about that. I will admit to you, yes, I'm asking the questions that I am supposed to ask for an investigation. And if that investigation leads me to the conclusion of a DUI, then that's possibility. But I haven't mentioned that at all to you. That's why that's why I've asked about medication. That's why I've asked about all these other things. You just be kind. >> Well, so Sabrina, I'm not going to lie to you. You just told me that after this there's no reason to live. You're not going to live anymore. Those statements, I am required to call our paramedics. >> No. No. >> So, I called our paramedics. >> I did not say I don't want to live anymore. >> Sabrina, you did say that. You said there's no point in living. I'm not going to live anymore. You meant you said that >> I can't go through this anymore. >> Okay. Well, Sabrina, >> well, it'll be the last time. So, you and you please have that on your conscience. What? >> Because after this, >> as the interview goes on, her version of events changes. An officer's work to determine whether alcohol may have contributed to the crash. >> I'm a good person, >> Sabrina. See, you're you're saying you're saying things that are requiring me to inform paramedics. >> You literally just said you want us to have it on our conscience >> that now when something happens to you, it's on us. >> Why did you do that to me? >> To call paramedics. >> Yeah. >> Because you made statements saying you're not going to live anymore. >> I want to live. >> Okay. Okay. And now you're saying you want to live. Okay. But you keep going back and forth. That's what I'm saying is you keep going back and forth. >> It's It's so incredible to me all the things I read about Homewood and all the shots and all the people that get and all the people that get pushed on their front door and all these things. And you know, I lived here 38 years of my life and I never had these kind of things happen to me in Homewood. >> Sabrina, >> but you pick on me. You pick on me. >> You said you only had a sip to me. You did tell paramedics that you had a Gatorade bottle of what? of Gatorade. >> A Gatorade bottle of Gatorade. >> Yeah. >> What else was in the Gatorade? >> A little bit of vodka. But I poured it out. I went to the park. >> Okay. >> I went to 187 Street Park and it wasn't even a third of full and I put it in the garbage. >> Okay. Would you be willing to do some sobriety tests? >> Why? >> So I can determine if you're fit to drive. Because right now, given your mannerisms, given the way you've been talking, things like that, I don't believe that >> you're fit to drive. >> Then what are you going to do to me? >> If you don't do it, >> the officer then explains the possible consequences of refusing sobriety testing as the investigation moves toward an arrest. If you don't do it and you fail, or if you don't do it or you do it and you fail, I'm still probably going to go the exact same route one way or the other. So, either you do it, you fail, or you don't do it. Given my observations, I would still like you to submit to a breath test to determine your blood outcome. If you refuse that, that's your right as well. You can refuse that. But that's kind of the route I'm going. >> The last cop I had, he was a piece of >> Okay. Well, I'm not him. I don't I don't know what that has to do with me. >> He did. He took me in his house for 40 in my house for 45 minutes and then he decided me to take me out and do a sobriety test. >> Okay. Well, you're not in your house right now. You're still by your car. You're in the middle of this these people's front yard. You You damaged the hydrant. You damaged some bushes. So, that's where I'm at is I kind of need to get this from you. I need to understand what's going on and I need to complete a thorough investigation given all the damaged property involved in this. You said it was not your medication. You said it wasn't any of your mental or medical problems that you have that would have caused this. So that leads me to believe that it is alcoholrelated. >> So go ahead. You know what you do if you put me in jail? >> What? >> Okay. That's why I called paramedics. >> That's why I called paramedics. >> No, I don't want paramedics. >> I know, but you just said if I put you in jail >> because that's your choice. >> It's not my choice. >> It's your choice. You understand that if you have been doing this and are doing this, the choice is not with me. >> Based on the property damage, the odor of alcohol, the woman's admission that she drank vodka, her refusal to take sobriety tests, and their observations during the investigation. Officers decide they have enough evidence to arrest her. >> Because you've damaged multiple pieces of property, you damaged village property. I need to complete a full thorough investigation and if it's alcoholrelated, I need to act accordingly. >> Scott, this is God. This is God. God answered me. I'm ready to go to heaven. I'm ready to go to heaven. >> Submit to field sobriety tests. Do you want to perform them? Okay. You don't want to perform them. Would you be willing to submit to a breath test? >> No. >> Okay. You don't want to submit to a breath test. You had alcohol. Everything like this. >> You didn't mention that before. >> What? Mention what? >> You didn't mention either one of those before. >> Mention what? I've mentioned all of this before. I've been talking to you about it. >> Did it. >> Okay. So Sabrina, given all of this, >> why aren't you out there getting the people that are shooting people in Homewood? >> So Sabrina, >> so unfair. >> Do you need to go to the hospital? >> No. >> And be evaluated? >> No. >> Okay. Are you in any pain right now? >> No. >> Okay. You're not in any physical pain right now? Okay. Perfect. So given all of that, you're not in physical pain. Your medication didn't cause this. You don't want to submit to any testing. Okay. Given my observations and my experience, you got to come back with me. You're going to get a couple tickets. I >> dear God, >> you're going to get a couple tickets. >> What am I going to get tickets for? >> You're going to get tickets for leaving like coming off the roadway. So, whatever that ends up being, improper turn because you said you were turning and went off the roadway. So, improper turn, DUI. >> As they escort her to the patrol car, the officer calmly explains what she can expect after the arrest. >> A DUI >> and you will have a court date, but you'll be out in probably an hour. So, you'll be out in an hour. >> I already got a DUI in Indiana. >> Okay. Well, it didn't pop up on your Illinois license, so it's not doesn't affect your Illinois license cuz you still are valid. >> Why would you do that to me, >> Sabrina? Walk over to my car. Please, Sabrina. >> Please don't touch me. >> I'm not going to touch you. Let's just walk over there. That's it. >> I I will pray. I'll pray every day. >> Okay, Sabrina. that that you're you're going to feel this in your life with your family, >> okay? >> Cuz I am not a bad person, >> Sabrina. >> It's a bump in the road and you made a mistake. >> I already just got a DUI in Indiana in May. >> Okay, Sabrina, if you don't walk to my car, I'm going to have to put my hands on you. So, please just walk to my car. >> Why would you put your hands on me? >> I said if you don't walk to my car. So, I need you to walk to my car then. >> That's it. I told you this is going to be very quick. We're gonna be we're gonna be in and out. We're going to be done. I'm not gonna make you pay any money today. Okay. >> I don't have any money. >> I'm not going to make you pay any money. >> Please, Sabrina. >> I'll lose everybody in my life. >> You're not going to lose everybody in your life, Sabrina? Yes, I am. My daughter won't talk to me. >> Come on, Sabrina. We'll handle this. We'll handle this. Come on, Sabrina. We'll be I'll be with you this whole this whole process. It'll be very fast. Okay. If you feel like you're going to fall or stumble, please let me grab onto your arm. I don't want you to fall. Okay. So, right here, I'm going to have you just have a seat. After securing her inside the patrol vehicle, officers explained why the arrest is moving forward, even though she disagrees with their decision. >> I wish one time in your life you could I'm going to have three DUIs now. You know that. >> All right, Sabrina, >> I'm going to have three DUIs. >> Okay, just have a seat, please. It'll be a quick process. I'm not making pay any money. I'm looking at your eyes and >> I know >> they have no compassion at all. >> I'm sorry you feel that way. Okay, Sabrina. So, just have a seat. >> 104. >> All right, I'm going to buckle you in just for safety and I'll be right back. Okay. I called family like, "Hey," given her mental state, whatever. her family, her cousin basically that she lives with basically said >> basically said she does this. She claims she's going to do something to herself and people will sweep some things under the rug and yada yada. So >> Jesus Christ, >> given that, given the damage to the property, given the fact that she said she's consumed alcohol, I just and I smell it on her breath. I got to do it. She refused to use everything. She's stumbling. Yeah. So I'm going to just do it. She'll be in and out within like an hour. If you want to help me just >> knock this out. >> What do you mean? >> First is the hook. >> You don't look like a nice person at all. >> What was that? >> You do not look like a nice person at all. >> Yeah, that's fine. You don't either. >> Oh. >> The woman was arrested for driving under the influence and received traffic citations related to the crash. In the end, the handcuffs have the final word. Thoughts?
