Uh do you have any sort of uh physical disabilities or anything that would prohibit you or cause you to not be able to do simple tests such as walking in a straight line, standing on one foot, following a pen? Okay. And just confirming you are willing to do some voluntary standardized field spread test just to make sure you're okay. So if you go ahead and for this first test, what I'll have you do is go ahead and stand. Face me. Face me. Stand with your feet together. Arms down at your sides. Straight down at your sides like this. Feet together. Not cross. That's okay. So feet together. Yep. Just like that. So, go ahead and maintain this position until I tell you to begin or do something. Okay. So, >> I'm breaking out. >> I understand. I understand. We can talk it through if you need to, but if you just go ahead and stand with your feet together, arms straight down at your sides. Okay. So, when we do these, uh, not only are you going to be evaluated on how you perform the test, but also how you follow instructions. Okay? So, keep that in mind. Do you understand? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Okay. So, what I'll have you do is look at the top of my pen. Do you see the top of my pen? >> Yes. >> What color is it? >> It's black. >> What am I doing to it? >> You're clicking it. >> Clicking it. Moving it up and down. Absolutely. Okay.

So, there might be some difficulty and I'll take that into account. Okay. So, just go. I'm not trying to this minute. I just I do have scoliosis. >> Absolutely. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Curvature of the spine. >> Yeah. >> Okay. But you do you see a doctor for it or anything? >> I do. >> Okay. When's the last time you saw a doctor for it? >> It was within the last two years or so. >> Two years. Okay. So, not super debilitating. >> Scared, but like >> Okay. Scared of the doctor. Okay. So, go ahead and stand with your arms straight down at your sides, not behind your back. >> There. Okay. >> Okay. Perfect. All right. I'm sorry. >> You're okay. Just go ahead and fall on top there. >> I've just never fall something so long. Okay, we're not moving our head, right? >> Mhm. >> Just our eyes. >> Yes. >> All right. Okay, you can relax. >> I've never pulled over by a cup before. >> Okay. >> I swear I just didn't know they were doing construction right here. Look at it. Everyone's >> I know those those orange signs. >> You know, there might be blocks and blocks of them, but they can kind of sneak up on you. That's for sure. I >> swear. >> Okay. Are you think you're ready for the next test? >> I'm nervous, but >> I know you're nervous. I know you're nervous, but are you ready? >> I'll try my best. >> Okay. And that Hey, >> I've never been able to walk in a straight line, but I'll do >> You've never been able to walk a straight line before in your life? >> I got a really bad curvature. >> Curvature of the scoliosis. >> You can feel it on my back. >> I'm not going to do that. >> I don't want you to, but I swear you can. >> Okay. Okay. So, I don't take that into account, right? >> No, I'm just a little nervous. >> Yeah, the nerves for sure. Yeah, I know. >> No, cuz I know I've had I'm going to be honest. I've had two shots in me. >> Two shots? One, I've had two. >> Okay. Is that the truth? >> I promise I've had two. Okay. >> And I drove and that's okay. >> Mhm. >> I'm just nervous cuz you >> hit the pole, too. >> I Well, the pole I didn't know we were doing construction cuz I left before then and I've always jumped in here up until now. >> Yeah. Well, sometimes those poles kind of jump in front of you. So, >> No, I'm nervous. Okay. All right. >> I'm just nervous. >> Okay. Arms now at your sides. You've been unable to maintain that start position the whole time. >> I have. I promise I have. I >> You have what? Been unable to maintain? No, >> but I've never been before. I've done this practice cuz I watch Tik Tok. >> Yeah. I just can't walk in a straight line. >> Okay. Well, we're going to give it a shot. I understand. Hey, I'm I hear you. >> Okay. >> Okay. So, remember we were supposed to maintain that start position >> before then. Like, yeah, >> you may begin the test. >> That right or no? >> Keep I'll keep going. >> Okay. 14 15 26 27 28 >> Yeah, sure. Okay. For this next test, what we're going to do is I'm going to have you go ahead and stand with your feet together, arms straight down at your sides like this. You're going to maintain this position. Shouldn't affect your scoliosis cuz your feet are together. You're going to maintain this position until I tell you to begin. Okay. All right. Are you ready? >> Yeah. >> You may begin the test. Okay, go. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Can I start at the a stance or No, >> it has to be together >> as as described. >> Okay. I'm sorry. >> Um, okay. This last test is called a a preliminary breath test. It doesn't replace the evidentiary breath test. It's voluntary. Uh, do you want to take it? >> If you want me to. >> Oh, no, no, no, no. The the whole thing about voluntary means that it's up to you. You can make that decision. What have you announced up? Is there any we could have a jacket up until >> Well, we're we're just about done. We're just about done. So, um >> what do you what have you gathered up until now? There's clearly I've done two shots. I've been honest. I've done two shots up until now. >> Yeah. I'm not lying. >> What you're asking what I've gathered? >> Yes. >> Well, I think if we tally up all the points, you probably have a high score. Um but would you be willing to do a voluntary uh preliminary breath test? Again, doesn't replace the evidentary breath test. Uh, it's just better suited to give me an idea of where you're at. >> And if it if I say no, what does that gather? >> I don't want to say anything that's going to influence your decision either way cuz I >> would like to know up until now. I don't want to purposely like up until now, how have I looked? That's what I'm asking. >> Like I say, I think you have a a high score. >> I maybe I do. I've had two shots. I'm not a drinker. >> So, you don't want to take it? >> I'm scared if I do, you're going to like put me under something. I want to be into. >> Okay. See, you don't have to take it. >> So, if I say yes, what does that entail? >> That's completely up to you. So, >> but I don't want to do anything that would be incriminating. >> Oh, okay. Yeah, this would be super incriminating. Here you go. So, yeah, for sure. Turn around. Put your hands behind your back. You are under arrest for DUI. Okay. >> Okay. >> Okay. You are being on visually recorded. Um, >> yeah. The good news is the police department's not too far away. And I'll make sure to read you your full constitutional rights when we get to the view. >> What if nobody lives here near me. >> What if nobody lives here near you? That doesn't That's not a statement that makes sense. You have tiny wrists. Don't get out of those. >> I'm not I'm not trying. >> Well, they have to. Nobody's got to know. You're an adult, right? How old are you? >> I'm 21. >> 21. Okay. Yeah. Nobody's got to know uh about this. Uh your friend will keep it a secret. Go to my car. It's probably one of these. >> That's okay. >> Accidents happen. >> Accidents happen. Those poles will just jump out right in front of you sometimes. Okay. Oh, yeah. >> Will this affect my surgical attack program? >> Will this affect your what? >> Surgical attack program. >> Uh, well, I mean, you can't you can't be a surgeon and be drinking, but as long as you're not doing that, you're probably all right. Go and have a seat in the back of my car for me. >> Okay. And while you're in the back of my vehicle, you are being a visually recorded by the incar camera located directly in front of you. Okay. All right. D. >> I will do a PTCR and document the crash portion and the stuff. I'll let you take the main portion of the kitchen. Sound good? Go ahead and swing your feet out for me. >> Okay. >> Okay. Careful not to bonk your head. You're a little bit shorter, so it shouldn't be an issue. All right. Go ahead and step forward for me.

The police were informed about a reckless driver who was driving with one of the wheels completely knocked off the car. >> I hit the kind of hard. My front tire is completely gone. >> Everyone jumped out and left her alone. >> So, do you think she let you out right there? >> Jumped out of my car while I was driving. >> That's how intoxicated she was. >> Cuz you can see it right there. >> Interesting. Okay. Well, >> she took the damn thing out. Her tire's gone and she kept on going. >> Okay. Well, did are you sure she didn't hit the pole down there, too? >> I don't I just know we hit a pole. >> Let's go down that way and look at that pole because it looks like >> I heard crunch and that's >> all I heard. >> And my first words were, "Are you okay?" >> Good idea. So, do you think she let you out right there then? >> Let me out here. >> Yeah. Okay.

Sorry. >> What's going on? >> I'm trying to find my like spare tire. I like started having a panic attack >> cuz I couldn't figure it out and my front tire blew so I pulled into here. >> What? What happened? Um, I was driving my friends cuz they wanted to go to the bar and I said, "Okay, I'll take you." >> Uhhuh. >> So, I drove them down to the bar and then on my way pulling out, my front right tire blew and they both freaked out. Jumped out of my car while I was driving and I started freaking out because like I didn't really know how to fix it by myself. So, I got my mom. >> Okay. >> Sorry. >> Are you okay? >> I'm okay. I'm just We're trying My mom's on the phone. We're trying to find the jack that's in the car and the spare tire cuz I've only had this van for a couple of months. >> Okay. All right. >> I mean, by a couple of months, I mean like this last month. I just got this van. So, I'm trying to figure out like where >> stuff is. Yeah. No, I get it. I I understand that. Will you talk to me out here? Are you okay to stand up? I'm just I'm very much emotional cuz I didn't know like how to fix it. And >> yeah, >> sorry. >> What did you hit over there? It looks like you hit something. >> I I think I maybe bumped against the curb cuz I was pulling up against the timber bar down on Maine and my that was where my friends wanted to go and I hit the curb a little bit and it was a little too hard and I had two friends in my van. It was okay. Jen and Dwayne and I hit the curb kind of hard and they jumped out of my van and said like, "Peace out. Good luck." And I was like, "Okay, something is wrong with my car." >> Yeah. >> I need to pull over and be able to fix whatever's wrong with my car, but they were like outsies at that point. So, I just started freaking out because I just started driving the van >> and I wasn't sure how to fix it. So, I started like breaking out essentially. Why didn't you just stop where you know where you >> um I wasn't sure at that point like what had happened so I figured I'd pull into the next gas station which was this one around the corner and figure out what was going on. And then I called my mom and was like hey like what can I do and I got out and I was video chatting with her and I showed her like oh god my front tire is completely gone like >> what do I do? So, she was trying to walk me through finding the spare in the back seat and putting it on. >> Okay. Um, where was Janet sitting at in the car? >> She was in the passenger seat. >> Okay. Where was Dwayne? >> Um, Dwayne was in the right behind the passenger seat. So, in the middle, but like in the sliding door area. >> Okay. Did Did they get hurt? >> I mean, I sure hope not. >> Okay. As soon as it seemed like I like told them something is not right with my car, they like jumped out of the door and just left me. So I was like, "Okay, so I'll figure it out by myself." Like I was giving you guys a ride to where you asked me >> Yeah. >> where you wanted to go. So >> where did you come? What bar did you come from? >> Uh we started out just at home. >> And then where did you go? Did you drop >> to Timber? >> Timber. Okay. >> Right. And that's where I think that they had like jumped out of my van like mid transit. Like I didn't pull over or stop anywhere. I just started freaking out because I was like, "No, something is wrong." Like my van is not supposed to drive like this because obviously the front tire is not there. >> Right. So So you're saying they they jumped out at Timber or you guys were at Timber and then left Timber? >> They they jumped out at Timber.

I'm almost 2 months sober of smoking anything. >> Okay. All right. When was the last time you had something to drink? >> Um, I think like two weeks ago I had a shot or two with my brother. >> All right. Um, would you be willing to do some field sobriety tests with me? Absolutely. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Why don't we go up here again? They're voluntary. Um, is this >> right here in the white? >> Yeah, that's a great idea, actually. All right. So, why don't you face me? All right. So, are you able to see the tip of my pen? >> Yes. >> All right.
