finger with her eyes to perform the horizontal gaze nagus test a common field sobriety test used to assess impairment the female complied and attempted to follow the officer's finger as directed after conducting the test the officer began collecting essential personal information from the female the only thing I can say is do it like I explained or do it like I showed you okay so if you're confused

you're going to count out loud 1,1 1,2 13 until I tell you to stop okay while you're doing this I don't want you to hop around I don't want you to sway around and I don't want you to use your arms for balance okay you need to try to keep your foot in the air the entire time if you do happen to put your foot down just pick that same foot back up and continue counting where you left off okay do you have any questions about any of that you have any questions no no okay all right give me a second let me get my timer again the biggest thing is just continue counting until I tell you to stop cuz I have to time what I'm going to do is I will start the time whenever you pick up your foot whenever you're ready nope arms down that's all right give me a second cuz my timer didn't start whenever I

understand your night before the accident tonight okay now the questions I'm going to ask you are going to be very direct and they are going to be regarding impairment so I'm going to ask you about medication I'm asking about drugs I'm asking about marijuana I'm asking about alcohol things along those lines okay do you remember earlier that I read you your right sir do you still remember your right yes sir okay is it okay if I ask you questions about your night before the accident can you tell me how the accident happened um yeah I was going down this road um the results of these tests provided clear evidence that she was driving Under the Influence which influenced the officer's decision to proceed with appropriate legal action the officer took immediate action and arrested the female after the field sobriety tests indicated impairment the car in front of me never put on their blinker so I just kept going and uh my house is like not even 4 minutes from this place okay and they never put on their blinkers so I just kept going and yeah and then it just turned all of a sudden in front of you and you couldn't get around him okay yeah I mean like I was keep going and like I I'm supposed to turn like 3 minutes ahead of this place and yeah okay all right um where were you at before the accident tonight um I was at Dirty Laundry okay but I was actually at Lita before that where's that at downtown I'm what you said leas leas yeah I'm not really acquainted with the area Okay uh and then you went to Dirty Laundry afterwards and then now you're headed home for like 10 minutes maybe sure um what time and if you have a watch don't look at it okay what time would you say it is right now honestly I have no idea I don't have a l so I don't really like what time do you think you left re laundry honestly no idea I didn't really like fine just curious um what time did you go into downtown tonight did you eat dinner at home or did you eat while you're were out I ate dinner at home I went into downtown around like 6:30 okay all right so you went in downtown around 6:30 could you base off of when you got into downtown so you went to Lolas is that what you called it right so you went to Lolas and you went to Dirty Laundry just try to estimate how long you think you might have been out for and then what time not even 30 minutes I would say okay all right so if you went out about 6:30 what time do you think it is now I get in the moon it's probably like 10 1024 so yeah pretty close Okay um did you go any place other than dirty laundry and Lolas just those two okay now I'm going to ask you about medication okay you take any medication whether it's legal illegal illicit or prescribed you use any drugs whether they are legal illegal illicit or prescribed you use marijuana CHC Edibles anything with THC in it no no okay have you had anything at all alcoholic to drink tonight no you haven't had any alcohol tonight no no okay all right that's fine well that negates the next question then cuz I was going to ask how you feel um but it doesn't really uh make any sense if you don't have anything in your system right okay can you explain why the gentleman over there came up to me whenever I was looking at that vehicle yeah hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on you don't even know what I'm asking but I know I know he was like super hostile and like well they said that you came up to them and you offered them $1,000 to not call the police I don't know I wasn't here that's why asking yeah I mean no but you didn't do that okay that's fine I wasn't here again I was just asking okay all right but the last thing I need you to do is just take a look at that light right there for me okay I do need you to put your hands behind your back at this point being placed underr for DUI there's another step in this process and I will explain that to you in just a minute I don't think it went through S oh I'm going to lock these so they don't tighten up on you okay what time uh 20 20 2226 okay you mind normally I do but if you're here all right she's going to search you okay do you have anything on your person needles knife scissors sharp stick or poke her no okay thank you do you want to do it sge do you want me to do it yeah yeah I don't have any issue with I just want to make sure their they live right there oh anything in our pockets we can stick up here for a bag what's that I have nothing okay that's fine yeah I think I the only thing I saw might have been your phone that would have been in your pocket that's over here on this side it's all going to go with you so don't worry about we put everything in a bag okay this way slightly there okay you have a ball good okay all right nothing further later the female was presented in
