So I believe she was I at the time I didn't Does it look like she was going fast or anything? No, actually she looked like she I seen her coming down the hill.

I'm in handcuffs in the cop car and they are taking me to the Fairfield Police Department. No, I just had London. Charles is at the house with Navy, so he doesn't probably even know what's going on yet. I did tell him that I accidentally, you know, ran into the pole, but other than that, yeah, London is going downtown. They They didn't take her to Liberty, did they? They went to Bernett, so she is going to all the way downtown. Yeah, all the way downtown. Are you? No, probably not.

Her phone is about to die. What's your name? What's your first name? Kaitlyn. Caitlyn. Yes. Is she So, she's being taken to Fairfield to the Fairfield Police Department. Yeah.

She can call you when we get there or she can call somebody else. She'll definitely need somebody to pick her up from there. Um if she's getting released and then um she told you obviously where her London went. Yep. Do you have any other questions? No. Um, I don't think so. I'll just I guess I'll go to London. I don't want her to be by herself. So, okay. I appreciate your your help. Um, thank you. Yep. She'll call you here in just a few minutes. Okay. I appreciate it. Thank you. Oh, man. Something else Let's have a seat right here in the chair. We'll read this to you. You can follow along on this copy if you'd like. It's this top section right here. To nond operating vehicle on the influence of alcohol, drug or a combination of them. If you refuse to take any chemical test required by law, your high driving privileges will be suspended immediately. You have to pay a fee to have the privileges reinstated. take a chemical test and independent chemical test taken in dispense. In a few minutes, I'm gonna ask you to take a breath test. That's what all of that was about. Have you ever been convicted of an OVI before? No. [Applause] So down here at the bottom it has the consequences. So, if you refuse to take the breath test, your license is going to be suspended for one year. If you take the breath test and you're over the legal limit, then your license gets suspended for 90 days, which is right over here. And if you take the test and you're not over the legal limit, your license does not get suspended today. Okay. Actually, I'm going to ask you to take a urine test because it looks like our breath testing machine is not here. You can stand up. I'll take the hangups off of you. So, since the test I'm asking you to take is going to be a urine test instead of a breath test like I was explaining it to you, as long as you take the test today, your license is not going to get suspended. Um, are you are you going to take the test? Okay. So, okay. So, the process for that then is that obviously you'll provide the sample today. We'll have to send it to the lab to get tested and uh once we receive the results back then I'll just contact you and update you what the results are and stuff like that and then if there's a license suspension it would go into effect at that point. Okay. So, [Music] you guys No, we don't. updates once they're transported by the medics. So, if you go along these desks over there all the way at the end, there's a light switch on the outside. Just go to the last one down there. Yep. The last one? No, there's a light switch on the outside. No, just fill it up at least halfway and just leave it sitting on the shelf next to the toilet. Okay, [Music] there's some toilet paper out here. Do you want me to bring you some? Thank you. Yeah, I'll take There's a button on the side of it. There's usually a couple buttons. I think it's the one on the right side of it. There's no soap. There's water in there. There's hand sanitizer out here if you want some. Yep. And there's a phone on the desk there you can use to call your sister if you'd like. You know her number, right? Uh I do like my one phone call. You can make as many phone calls as you want. Yeah, that's [Applause] I've never been in this position before. Not me at all. Hey Justin, can you hear me? Well, if the Can you come pick me up from the police station by your house? By your house? Yeah. Um, Fairfield Police Station over by the T-Mobile in Perkins where Charles used to work. No, you No, you can you can just come. I just need a ride and Kaitlin's going to pick London up from the Yeah. Thank you. Love you. Do you need anything else from me? I don't think so. So, do you know what's going to happen from here? Have any idea like what goes on next? So, you are getting charged with OVI and failure to control for the crash. You will have a court date. Um, it will be this Wednesday at 8:30 in the morning. the worst day of the [ __ ] week. 8:30. Yeah, you'll have a citation with that information on it. That'll be your arraignment. They'll explain to you what the charges are, the potential penalties, stuff like that, and then give you time to get an attorney after that. What does that mean? They'll set it for in a position like this. So, I don't even know what any of this means. So, an arraignment is where they explain to you what the charges are. The court, it's your first court appearance. Um, they'll explain to you the two charges, the potential penalties. They'll ask you how much time you need to get an attorney. Usually, they'll give you two weeks or you can ask for a public defender at that point. Then they'll do whatever they do in the court to determine if you get one. If that's what you're asking for, they'll set it out for another court date. And then before your next court date, you just have to speak with your attorney about everything. whether you get one yourself or whether they appoint a public defender to get your picture. If you can stand right here, you're back against that gray wall and just look up here at this camera. It's going to click a couple times. So, just keep looking at the camera for a few seconds. Okay, you can sit back down. This is that form that I read to you about the test and the suspension and whatnot. Um, so like I said, the when the lab results come in, then I'll call you to update you with it and let you know what the results were. Okay. So, you get a sign right there which says driver's signature. [Applause] There's your copy of that. Your car was towed by Wayne's Towing. I'm sure you saw the damage on it. It's not going to be drivable anytime soon. So, you just have to get with your insurance company about it and what they want to do and what you want to do with it. Okay. But that's where it's at. Wayne's Towing, 1946 Fair Grove Avenue in Hamilton. Okay. This is your citation. Like I said, you're going to have court this Wednesday. It's the 29th at 8:30 in the morning. Where is that? It's here at the Fairfield Police Department. It's attached to the police department. So, the address is up here at 675 NIS Road. You're getting charged with OVI and with failure to control for the crash. Okay. You have questions about that? I guess not. Okay. But how is the water on the road? Well, there are people plenty of people that drive there all the time every day when it's raining when it's not raining too fast. Honestly, there were I'm sure I can't deny that at least hundreds of people driving through that exact intersection today. Yeah. That didn't crash. Yeah. Okay. Well, uh, we are actually all finished up here. Um, and I'll walk you out to the lobby. So, you'll be out there whenever he gets here if he's not already here. Thank you. just right out that way. The front? Yep. Straight through the next set of doors and you'll be out the front. Okay. You're welcome. Heat. Heat. [Music]
