because of a an argument at the hotel okay can I ask you some questions can we talk to Mom later CU that's not like a plan so you can answer my questions I don't want to talk to her when I'm in jail no I want to talk to her the whole time I'm on the phone with you that is my right okay that's fine can you talk to me while you're talk while she's on the phone then ises that sound like a plan yeah Mom can I please put you in my pocket okay when did you stop think like an hour ago like an hour ago and you had you said you had half a pint yeah what were you drinking but it was over the course of two hours okay what what was it that you were drinking Amsterdam Thea you talking about okay I was going to visit a friend who was going to go with me to my kids trick or treat school party you drinking at I was drinking at home at first so here's what we're going to do I'm going to give you some sobriety tests okay some tests for you to perform I'm literally really close to home I don't even care if I just get a ride home I'm not that intoxicated listen to me sir please hold on I'm talking okay that's what the tests are for okay it's to determine how intoxicated you actually are cuz alcohol affects everyone different ways okay so depending on how you do these tests it'll depend on if you drive home or not okay at the end of the day you have your kids in there right so I'm going to let going to mean anyway so I'm going to perform going pass what it it's depending on how you performing these tests Okay so are we're going to do some tests okay so you're going to keep following my stimulus with your eyes only until I tell you to stop you understand the instructions yeah I do have can I please qu I am deaf in this year so it is hard for me to maintain my full balance even if I'm not intoxicated it is hard for me to maintain my balance go ahead and follow just hit my finger okay okay go ahead and blink a couple times okay I'm sorry I was I thought you were no you just got to keep following it so do it again no problem okay so we're done with the first one the second one's going to be the walking turn Okay so for this one do you have any physical problems or disabilities besides the I'm DEA and I've never been good at it I've literally never been good at it okay do you have any physical problems all it's going to affect your balance but can I please put my phone in my out of my pocket it's going to help you okay so just like this arms at your side still so you can look at how I'm doing it right now yeah you can go ahead and I'm sorry I see enough like Facebook videos that say oh not until you're start inst so once you start walking don't stop until you completed the test do you understand the instructions okay begin and count your first step as one one 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 okay so we have one more test so for this one we're going to get in the same stance we're in for the first one so feet together me I'm at a SL I know I'm not a slant cuz I can feel it okay I don't know if I can do it facing this way pleas you'd rather do it again facing that way I would yes you think this is you think this is flat straight and I'll get these sticks out of your way so you can't walk on them I don't need the sticks out of my way no I am just say I will anyways you you want to do the walkin turn again is that what you're saying uh no I'm not saying I want to do the walk turn again I'm saying I can feel the slant when I'm walking this way so I would rather just stand this okay so we can do we can walk there we can have to walk it in that way that's what you want to do you just was instructing me to stand yeah but if you want if you think this is slanted and you're not and you want to do that I don't think I failed that test whatsoever okay so for this one I'm going to have you the first chance just like how you were so if I'm death any on here and I have a hard time maintaining balance and I proove that in court what does that do for affecting me okay because I do have a death ear and it is really hard for me to maintain my balance okay so do you have vertico I have um I can't remember the name of it but you don't take meds for it or anything I'm supposed to have a hearing aid but I can't get a hearing aid unless I'm in Poria or Chicago okay but I will do the best I can yeah and that's and that's all that we ask and some people do I absolutely like yeah I'm totally with it okay you can go ahead and start 10012 2003 2004 off a little bit higher 2006 1 I can like I literally can't okay like does it it just affect your balance it does it really does and that's not fair you want try not fair because I'm deaf do you want to try it again or are you done I am going to try it again okay 10001 10002 13456 2007 2008 1009

it's like wiing me out it's I'm at PTSD and I can't deal with that like I didn't take my meds today so we do got to figure out because I think you have a prior conviction uh for DUI right so do you do you know if you only have one or do you have two I have one in Illinois and one in Iowa and the one in Iowa plan not guilty I'm trying to fight that because I wasn't guilty so you had one in Illinois

didn't think that I failed but according to them I failed and they're telling me that there is a possibility of doing I'm sorry what did you say no so if you just cooperate and we go down to the PD like we would give you like an NTA and everything like that more than likely we just got to figure out can you explain this to my mom can we can we just verify though for the kids really quick because we got to find somewhere for the kids to go I don't have anywhere for the kids to go they don't talk to Sarah anymore we have to figure out somewhere for the kids I don't talk to Sarah anymore mom
