Before the exercises even got far, she was already trying to reassure him that she was sober enough to drive. She said she was 22 and had only had one beer, but the officer wasn't relying on her confidence. He was watching her performance. >> I'll start timing you. I'll let you know when to stop, okay?

The officer checked whether they were too tight and explained that a female trooper would search her before transport. At this point, there was no argument about the arrest, just the reality that the sobriety test had ended with her in handcuffs.
