anxiety issues so I'm trying to catch my breath kind of as I'm talking to you I'm sorry like I kind of got worked up here I'm sorry like I'm taking deep breaths but deep breaths I'm sorry so we'll start from the beginning okay absolutely I saw you coming on to State Street yeah um about hit the curb there you went over that white dividing line came back you're a little shaky I left on I was on my phone on your phone okay and I know I'm not supposed to be texting and driving but I was on Snapchat while driving and like I know I wasn't driving good but I was stabing okay so from there okay um that that's a code section 303 Crossing that white line not signaling okay um kind of follow a little bit to see if that driving is going to continue and you slowed down for a bit but then we sped back up so those are the reasons why I'm stopping you okay on my phone I'm sorry when I came up and talked to you um I can already tell you're very like pretty stimulated um I just I you kind of go a mile 100 Mil I see you behind me um like I explained that plane view THC cartridge yes okay tell me about that yes there's one in my purse one in your purse yes there's a disposable cartridge in my purse I don't know if it's empty or it might have a little bit in it what's that look like green it looks like a nicotine device but it's weed I'll be hon like it's it's weed is it the yellow one it's a lemon or is it a different one it says Apple if you look at the side it's like juice or some [ __ ] you want to take a peek in the purse again for green it'll be one at the side pockets in a side pocket okay I asked because I found a yellow one it was a it's that it's that that's it is that one okay that's not it's it's a disposable weed I going to say I found that yellow one it's lemon Blaze or something that's it and it smelled like it um and then there was another there was another like empty one similar to the one in the center console it was in the glove box that's probably old old okay and yeah when's the last time you used you said you're trying to kick it did you use it tonight yeah I used to um I've been trying to work I've been um working coming back on my own personal but I made a bad choice to hung out with some friends I shouldn't have but I did I did some with them tonight yes then I might to ask just because I'm getting a little hint of it did you drink any alcohol tonight I had um one drink yes one drink yes so so I one shot it was like a Sprite with a shot of O cut you know that when you mix alcohol and and THC or any drug really it amplifies the effects of both okay that that's kind of going to explain to me that the driving I saw even if you were on your phone as well just taking your focus off the road to your phone Amplified by the drugs and the alcohol in your system yeah so here's where we're at with all that okay um I am concerned about the driving what I want to do is I want to offer you some field sobriety tests okay to make sure that you're safe to drive okay the other thing is there's a little a little tin like a like a little rolling tin what's that you going to grab that tin for me I'm sorry I'm sorry no it's just sitting on my hood do you do you ever roll marijuana or do you just use the I used to when I was 17 and then um this office got me yeah that used to be mine um a cop in she helped me get into silver living when I'm
