arrest for DUI okay so don't tense up so take a step forward okay so all that you know it plays into your decision you you culminate you know the driving behavior your saw the swerving you know the confused demeanor right the daed expression the observations on the test and the inability to follow directions and that all plays into your to your decision of what's going to happen in that case to me it was very clear he was under the influence don't tense up man okay 243 11105 so right now you're under arrest for DUI you have the right to remain silent anything you say can and will be used against the court of law tissu no problem man just got to take whatever's in your pocket out before he can put you in there when he just started walking off into the distance the I I almost was going to let him just walk all the way to the freaking garage we did some breath testing and took blood samples from him and he showed to be almost four times IL legal limit so great find to get off the road no doubt in my mind if he would have continued driving for a prolonged period of time he would have been in an accident or he would have hurt himself um definitely to me that's when I feel like a du IRS is really makes a huge difference in that moment have a seat on the bench please can you sit down on the bench please who's this guy what guy the guy that's been with us the whole time you need to go somewhere do I need to remove him nope I suggest not and if you act up you're going to get put in handcuffs again so I suggest you just sit there turn around and face the computers then we're

some tests make sure that you're good to go like I said you you just appear impaired so I just want to make sure and see what see what's going on obviously with your criminal amount of speed also all right if you stand with your toes and heels together arms just comfortably down at your side oh you have a little marijuana tattoo on your leg look at that man all right what I want you to do is I'm going to have you tilt your head back and close your eyes so you tell me how long it takes for 30 seconds to go by once 30 seconds go by and want you to bring your head forward open up your eyes and say stop and begin okay pretty pretty close pretty close okay we have a nice straight line right here step on right up over here what I'm going to want you to do is take nine steps straight down that line keep your eyes down at your feet count your steps out loud just so I can keep up with you whenever you're ready and comfortable you may begin all right well yeah just relax all right next thing I want to do I just want to take a quick look at your eyes just watch that right there don't move your head at all just watch that with your eyes BR around here right down towards the bridge of your nose I got one more for you what I want you to do is I want you to lift that leg above the ground approximately 6 in the leg that you raise will be straight and your foot will be parallel to the ground you're going to look right at your raised toe whenever you're ready you may begin all right relax all right good sir no I get it I absolutely get it it happens um at the same time the mixture of your driving wi your license is knowingly suspended your gross amount in excess of those posted speed limit and some cues that I observed here while talking to you I'm I'm fairly certain that we've got something else that's aboard here and that the marijuana that you smoked earlier is still in your body and actively affecting you the way that you drive okay so I want you to put your hands behind your back right now be under arrest for DUI for actually aggravated DUI go all right anything on you we need to worry about anything okay um is that a vape yeah okay so when was the last time you hit this earlier today okay uh I'm going to leave this in your car cuz we can't let you take your that's fine Berry marijuana Vape thing here in there right now you're under arrest for for DUI drugs and then also for criminal speed driving while your license is suspended okay or our substation is straight down this road my amazing partner here is going to transport you over there I'm going to meet you there it'll be cooler inside and then we'll we'll have another conversation there is that okay all right sir if you could thank you yes sir question my mom pick up the car please uh well your car is going to be towed because of the compilation of everything going on can I call her and let her know please so yeah I I'll get your phone you can give her a phone that's why I came to the store to buy a charger okay cuz I don't have a phone that's great I've got a phone as soon as we get there you can give her a call no problem at all I'll let you use my phone right yep no problem I have it with me Tom 16 I one custom 692 I'll be 1052 to Baker for a to driving unsuspended and being under arrest for DUI makes it a felony um which caused is the impounding of his vehicle for 20 days we'll tow this car and then we'll go and process him once I get back Tom 23 traffic Tom 23 we're going to be on Peralta and the 60 we had just finished impounding the blood from the previous DUI out here at our substation in Gold Canyon we were headed Westbound and there was a vehicle headed Eastbound And as the vehicle passed you could just tell that it was absolutely doing probably close to 100 mph 2342 how we doing good how are you good is there any reason we're doing over 100 milph down the us60 I wasn't doing 100 but you absolutely were I had to do 140 mph to even catch up to you okay so why are you going so fast I wasn't going 140 I didn't say you were going 140 I said you were doing 100 okay how much have you had to drink tonight nothing why are you slurring your words I'm not slurring all right hop out of the car for me okay uh immediately upon walking to the vehicle again you can smell just an overwhelming odor of alcohol and the first words mumbled out of his mouth were slurred so again if it walks like a duck talks like a duck it's probably going to be a duck and making contact with him right out of the out of the gate smells like alcohol and again another impaired driver that potentially could have murdered somebody this evening walk back here so you hav't anything to drink but you can't even stand up I can stand up straight okay I'm going to ask you one more time how much alcohol have you had tonight nothing all right and you have no explanation of why you're doing 100 miles hour down the us60 I mean I if you want an explanation my house was right there I was just my parents are right there that's it okay all right stand up for me y put your feet no come off the car off the car there you go feet together with your heels and Toes touching your hands down at your side flip your hat around backwards for me I can smell the alcohol from standing right here so what I want you to do now is the position that you're in right now what you're going to do is when I tell you to you're going to close your eyes you're going to tilt your head backwards you're going to think of 30 seconds once you think 30 once you think 30 seconds has passed you're going to bring your head back forward open your eyes and say stop okay I'm only spit because I have a Zen you know what that is I do when somebody decides to spit a giant lugie out uh next to you it kind of tends to grab your attention and you kind of wonder why what's you know what's going on and begin okay BR okay and how much time was that I thought 30 seconds perfect and how'd you get there I counted like 12 three Mississippi one two three perfect that's what I wanted to know so what I want you to do is come stand over here okay you're going to stand right there and face that direction yes sir perfect take about two steps back just so you got enough room Two Perfect all right go ahead and begin okay one two 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 what you're going to do is you're going to lift your foot off the ground 6 in either foot that you want your left foot or your right it doesn't matter to me I'm going to raise my right foot to show you how to do it but again you can choose either foot that you want I'm sorry is this irritating for you okay all right go ahead and begin all right turn somebody back no hands down at your side 1 10000 2 10000 3 1000 4 1 5 1 6 9 10000 10 10000 11 1000 keep going keep going yeah 12 1000 11 1000 or 131,000 141,000 151,000 161,000 17 ,000 18 1,000 19 1,000 21,000 all right you can stop 21,000 you dropped your weed yes sir go a and pick it up you want it no put it in your jacket okay go and pick it up all right so the last test that I had this uh individual perform here is called a one leg stand test uh so he began to hop on one foot uh and then right at the end when I told him to stop after the 30 seconds he dropped a bag of weed out of his hoodie pocket so he was probably just as surprised as I was uh that it fell to the ground in that manner uh and then so I commented hey man you dropped your weed uh and then he asked me if I wanted to pick it up or he wanted to pick it up so I just instructed him to pick it back up and put it in his hoodie which now made me believe that not probably was this individual only driving around impaired by alcohol uh but is also driving around probably high on cannabis so you are being placed under arrest for driving Under the Influence I'm assuming of obviously weed on top of your alcohol who's this gentleman in the car with you let go I'm assuming he's impaired as well no he's good he's 100% sober yeah so then why isn't he driving well I don't know you can ask okay I will all right you walk over here and have you lean up against my vehicle till the transport unit gets here all right turn around and then just sit right there perfect take him back for me you still have that in your mouth your Zen do you still have your Zen in your mouth no I'm spin all right so don't spit anymore because you're going to be getting in a patrol vehicle don't spit in the patrol vehic do you understand I'm not spinning vehic okay so this gentleman is going to transport you down to our Command Post which is back at aache Junction high school I'll meet you down there in a little bit once we uh get the company here to come tell your car okay all right all right take a real deep breath of air and you're going to blow air through the straw that direction I don't want it this is for medical purposes I can't use this against you in court I need to make sure you don't need medical attention that's all this is for I can literally cannot use this against you in court okay okay deep breath and blow as long as it's not no it is not admissible in court okay I want to just say that yeah that's fine keep going keep going keep going keep going keep going okay you're good yep can't use it against you in court my man these aren't calibrated nothing like that so all right what do you think you are I don't know I want to hear you I'll tell you soon as it's done1 161 okay all right you know what the legal limit is in the state yeah 08 right all right tonight's events I think we made a total of four traffic quick stops uh of those four two of them uh ended up being arrested for DUI not only were there alcohol levels to a point to where they were extreme uh I believe one of the individuals is probably going to come back as a super extreme which would make him above a020 we were able to get these drivers off the roadway before they potentially killed somebody uh before they caused a serious motor vehicle collision uh before ultimately taking their own life now we're back on our routine area patrols when we were receive a call from DPS about a hit and run Collision on I40 now while we're actively looking for this vehicle we get another call this call involved a dark color SUV parked in an apartment complex the caller said that the driver looked intoxicated and he was passed out at the wheel we headed there immediately we drove around the back and we found a dark colored SUV parked sideways over a curb with the driver passed out behind the wheel I approached him on the driver's side and I took a few seconds to see what I can see inside the vehicle that way it can give me some Clues as to what may have been happening open the door open the door open the door open the door open the door

chism's going to be coming uh I got to go get him processed he admitted to drinking a couple of shots so individual was uh passed out in the vehicle he was intoxicated um although people sometimes aren't driving his vehicle's on he's in the driver's seat the keys are in the ignition he's in actual physical control of that car so based on everything that we were seeing the way that he went over this curb this park there's obviously recent damage to the curb the way that he was acting in there um I was hoping he would be compliant open the window or at least the door to talk to me he instead he went to shift it out of gear to I mean we got apartment complexes a playground right there he could have gone anywhere so ended up having to break the window he admitted to drinking he uh provided a breath sample and a PBT test out here he was in uh actual physical control of this car although he wasn't driving vehicle's running keys in the ignition he's in the driver's seat so he's under arrest for DUI at this time we're going to process the vehicle and process him as quickly as possible on this particular evening we were in Apache Junction uh when we actually stopped at the Quick Trip uh to get drinks uh and while we were there a subject decided to walk into the building and was clearly intoxicated my first thought was I pray he is not behind the wheel of a motor vehicle and the subject exited the store uh and then quickly actually went over and got into the driver's seat of the vehicle started it and backed out before we could even uh get from the location we were at at the gas pumps uh it was actually extremely um disheartening to know that he got into a motor vehicle under those conditions and decided that he was going to drive away 2689 97 ending 317 [Music] we're on Apache Trail heading west past Idaho or correction east past Idaho uh Vehicles failing to yield at this point negative not yet Stand by Your assigned has once we continue down and and passed more

many fatal car crashes I've responded to or been a part of the investigation where it's usually the intoxicated person that walks away from the crash uh and the innocent person the family the the siblings the mother the father uh they're the ones that usually end up dying in these situations so as you can see when I walked up and started talking to the the driver I was already upset with him

okay you would know if you're diagnosed with it and if you had any car crashes or concussions in the last 48 hours no no perfect so you see this green light I'm going go back and forth in front of your eyes you can blink if you need to it's not going to affect the test you understand the test that we're doing here is called hgn for short for horizontal gaze I stagis which again is involuntary jerking of the eye uh and there are six clues that we look for uh we do several passes two of the the first two are actually just medical making sure that the subject doesn't have resting ni stmas which is also one of the questions that we ask them if they're diagnosed with it anybody that is diagnosed with it knows what it means majority of the public has no idea what it means so we ask some general questions first car crashes concussions things that could affect the test as you can see the first portion here is putting them into a basically an instruction uh pose phase uh so you have them stand with your feet together with your heels and Toes touching and then your hands comfortably down at your side and this individual was so intoxicated he couldn't even put his feet together without falling out of place keep your head straight you're just going to follow it with your eyes there you go basically way to describe it Ser we understands it's like your uh like dry wiper wiper blades on a windshield anyway that's ever especially out here in Arizona you turn your wiper blades on and there's not enough water they tend to do this back and forth across the windshield so that's what we're looking for it's called lack of smooth Pursuit so your eyes if you don't have anything in your body that's going to a affect your eyeballs your eyes will typically go back and forth really smoothly uh across your face uh without not any issues in this subject situation uh you can see literally they're just like dry wiper blades on a windshield back and forth back and forth back and forth all right walk on over over here for me just cuz it's kind of slandered I want you to be on this side okay all right so you're going to stand right here and you're going to face that direction perfect stand right there for me okay so for these next two I'll give you a series of instructions I'm then going to demonstrate it for you and then you're going to perform it if you have any questions please make sure you stop me and ask me okay all right so what I want you to do is imagine there's a line from your left foot extending all the way down there as far far as you can see since your left foot is already on the line you're going to put your right foot in front of it touching heel to toe and then your hands comfortably down at your side like this okay okay so goe and put your right foot in front of your left left foot no right foot in front of Left Right Foot In Front Of left there you go now hands down at your side okay all right stay like that and don't move from there until I tell you to can you can you not stand straight yeah okay so get into this position and stay in this position right foot in front of left Perfect all right so what you're going to do is when I tell you to you're going to take nine Heel To Toe steps down the line from your left foot okay once you get to number nine whatever Lead Foot you have planted you're going to take a series of short choppy steps get back on line and then take nine Heel To Toe steps back down line I'm going to show you I'm going to show you okay so this is the position you're in you're going to do this one two 3 simulating that that's your ninth step short choppy steps like this back online one two 3 back down to n nine down turn around nine back do you understand that yeah okay so it's not going to work you're not going to do it no all right perfect go turn around put Chan on your back for me once the individual realized that he was not going to be able to perform any of these tests uh he basically said that he was not going to partake in any more field soety tests at which point uh I can make my determination on whether to make an arrest uh based off just the few things that I've seen the hgn examination is one of the actually the most accurate tests that we do uh with with regards to fil soety testing based off of hgn alone uh I could have made the arrest him not wanting to partake and the rest of them obviously was just uh more of an indication of his high level of of intoxication all right so just to know you are being placed under arrest for suspicion of driving of the of alcohol do you understand yeah okay all right everything on you that you're not supposed to have where's your wallet since we haven't got that far yet all right just turn around lean up against your car where's your wallet at so it's in yeah my car no stay over there I didn't tell you to come over here I said stay right there all right so here's what's going to happen you're being placed under ARR for DUI we're going to take you down to our Command Post which is down here at Apache Junction High School okay are you from this area gilber what brings you out to Apache Junction driving home John ad Willam XR you know where you're headed yes okay cuz Gilbert's that way that's why I'm asking and you were headed that way to be it the sun is down I don't know which direction gotcha okay my phone knows gotcha all righty so when I when I confront the subject on him being lost and not heading in the right direction he basically tells me he's so confused because the sun's down and he doesn't know what direction he's heading so again that just goes to show you the dangers of somebody that's driving impaired uh he has no idea where he's headed to he doesn't know where he's going he thinks he's headed in an opposite direction uh he had no idea you know that there was law enforcement Vehicles behind him for an extended period of time uh and that's usually how you know an innocent person up losing their life especially during the holiday season this gentleman here is going to transport you down to our Command Post I'll meet you down there in just a little bit okay okay all right okay now deep breath and blow as hard as you can tight to stop keep going keep going keep going keep going okay what do you think you are you know what the legal limit is in Arizona 8 yep what do you think you
