Okay. Well, right now don't worry about
just sit back, relax, and breathe. Okay.
I can't. I can't. Cuz you've collapsed a
couple times on me here.
Do you have like major anxiety issues?
Yes. Okay. Okay. All right.
Okay. You feel like you're having an
anxiety attack right now? Yes, but I'm
okay. Okay. All right. What's going to
happen? Well, we're right now I'm going
to get you checked out first and then
we're going to go from there by a squad.
I want to make sure there's not a
medical issue larger going on.
Okay. Okay. Sounds like it's going to be
a panic attack.
What is it?
You don't have a panic attack? I haven't
won though. Okay. Well, you've collapsed
twice on me now. I know. I I feel I've
been like super I got super nervous and
I got Has that ever happened to you
before? You passed out like that or
collapsed? No, but I've had anxiety
attacks before. Okay. I got I just got
super nervous. I don't know why.
All right. Well, still for your safety,
I want to make sure you're okay above
anything else. That's the most important
thing right now. Okay.
Okay. Yes. All right. Just all I want
you to do right now is just sit down and
breathe. You lost your shoe there. If
you want to grab Thank you.
Oh my god.
All right. So, I'm not going to lie to
you, okay? I've already got enough to
tell that you shouldn't have been
driving your car. So, I'm going to
charge you with OVI tonight. Okay? I'm
going to take you back to the post. I'm
going to process you for that OVI. I'm
Listen, I'm not going to take you to
jail. Once I'm finished with all the
paperwork and stuff, I'll let somebody
come and pick you up. Okay? Anyway,
but I mean that's that's what's going to
happen one way or another. Do you have
to go license? Well, that depends cuz
I'm going to offer you I have I didn't
even have that much. I I don't What What
did you take me for? U a speeding. Yeah,
that's what I stopped you for is your
speed. And how much was I going? 86.
86 and 65. Mhm. Check the 84 84 and 86.
So, between the alcohol and the THC, you
definitely shouldn't been driving the
car. Well, I didn't have the THC
recently. Okay. Well, I mean, you said
that you smoked it like an hour ago.
Yeah, but I don't feel anything. I
understand. Well, like I said, I'm just
going to I'm going to have you checked
out by the squad first and then we're
going to go from there. Okay. What about
my light? Oh my god. So, when we get
back to the post, I'm going to offer you
testing if you take post number my where
I work, my post, my office. Okay. Um I'm
going to read you a form that will
explain the consequences for taking and
refusing the testing that I'm going to
offer you. But essentially, if you take
the test and you test at or over the
limit for alcohol or drugs, your license
will be suspended for 90 days. If you
refuse to take the test, then your
license will be suspended for a
year. Does that make sense?
Okay. But for right now, I don't want to
keep explaining all this to you, making
you more nervous than you already are.
Like, right now, I just want you to
collect yourself and relax. Okay?
Yeah, she just collapsed in the middle
of HDN. Then she was okay for a minute
and then I was going to have her come
back here and sit down. And then she
flaps on the way back to here. She's
just got some anxiety issues. She says
she's okay, but I'm still have squad
check her out just to make sure.
No,
she Yeah.
Still don't hurt.
What's that? Am I going to have to call
my parents? Well, you um you're old
enough that you can call whoever you
want to come and pick you up once we're
finished with everything. Did you scuff
your leg or was it already scratched up?
No, I'm good. Okay. Um, you can call
whoever you want to come and pick you up
once we're finished with everything.
Doesn't have to be your parents. It's
totally up to you who you call. And then
your vehicle, we can lock it up here. I
can tow it, whichever you prefer to a
tow truck
yard instead of leaving it on the side
of the road or we can leave it here and
you can come back and make arrangements
to pick it up within 48 hours. That's
what most people do. But if you're not
comfortable with that, then I can have
it towed if you prefer. But if two
people, if you can call two people to
come, one to come and pick you up and
another person to drive your car, then
you can get your car and get it taken
home tonight. But, you know, either way,
you're not going to be able to drive
home
tonight. But like I said, before we get
to all that, I want to make sure you're
healthy and okay first.
Yeah, I I thought it was, but then I
just I mean, you were there for a
minute, but when I was doing that eye
test on you, you just like you literally
zoned off into another world and you
just fell into me. I about caught you,
but then you dropped to your knee and
just collapsed. I got you stood back up
and sat down. You're okay. Then walking
around here, same thing happened. You
just like stared off into black and I
started getting too nervous and I felt
like I don't know what kind of does that
happen. Some people Yeah. I mean, some
people just react that way to nerves
when they get like really really nervous
all of a sudden like that. It's It's not
the first time I've seen somebody.
That's why I knew exactly what was going
on. Sometimes they will go down one time
like that and then they're okay. Then
you started getting a little queasy
again. So, you wanted to sit down. So, I
wanted to bring you back here so it was
a little more comfortable and slipped
out of my grip again. Got some pavement
right there. You sure you're all right?
No, I'm okay. Okay. All right. Well,
like I said, I'm just going to have them
check to make sure you're not like had
any heart issues or nothing else. You
know, that's the important thing. And
then we'll we'll go on from there. Okay.
Once they're finished with checking you
out, there shouldn't be too much. What
is it? Is there something else you could
tell me about
about anything? I don't know about like
this process for this what's going to
happen or what I should do or anything I
should know. I mean, I can't give you
legal advice obviously, but um like so
as far as like the paperwork and stuff
goes, you'll uh I'll issue you a court
date within five business days. It'll be
uh basically next Friday at 8:30. You'll
have to appear in court for it. Then um
you'll enter a plea of guilty, not
guilty, no contest. And then if it's not
guilty or no contest, you'll have a
couple other court appearances after
that. If it's uh if you plead guilty,
then they'll set it out for sentencing
and you'll only have to come to court
one more time.
So what about my like license? Are you
taking it away? So that depends on, like
I said, the test that I'm going to offer
you if you take it and what the results
are and if you refuse it. Well, can I
ask somebody about that? Ask Can I call
somebody before I do this? The only
person you'd be able to call would be an
attorney. Okay. All right.
So,
so that's what normally people do is
just do it. Yep. Okay. Or or you know,
one way or the other.
Some people take it, some people don't.
I just can't do or say anything to
persuade you. Either way, it doesn't
what decision you make has no bearing on
whether or not you go into jail. Your
your behavior and your level of
cooperation.
That'll change that. I said the only
thing that'll change whether or not you
go to jail is your behavior.
Like if you like try to fight me or
something crazy like that. That's right.
So like with you being cooperative and
everything, it's not something I would
take you to jail for. Unless you don't
have you've never been arrested for OBI
before, have you? Okay. So, yeah, if you
don't have any prior, then it's not
something I take you to jail for in the
first offense,
especially with you already having
anxiety issues that going to jail
probably would just exacerbate that.
Oh, not a whole lot. So, I was doing uh
field sobriety on her and she just
stared off into space, lost
consciousness, and dropped down on me.
Okay. Brought her back here to sit down.
She said she's a little queasy. She
dropped a second time on the way back
here of the car. She's got anxiety. She
takes Lexapro and what else? Soie. And
what is it? Soie. Soie. So, plus.
All right. Well, they're going to check
you out and make sure you're okay here.
So, just do whatever they have you do
here. A few moments later. At this
point, everything's checking out more
room for
me. Sophie, you don't you don't want us
to take you up to the hospital or do
you? No. No. You sure? I don't feel like
I need Okay. Okay. Okay. Is there
anything else I can do for you guys?
Well, I mean, you and I still have
business obviously, but I my main
priority is your health and safety, you
know. So, as long as you're okay and you
don't need to go to the hospital, then
they're going to go about their business
and you and I are going to wrap up ours.
All right. Appreciate it. No problem.
Take care.
[Applause]
So, feeling okay now.
I mean, I I get the circumstance. Yeah.
Right. Circumstance aside, physically,
you feel like you're okay. All right. Do
you want to try? I mean, I don't
honestly I don't even want to try to
have you do any more tests cuz I'm
afraid you pass out again, you're going
to hit your head on something like I
don't want to put you in a situation
where, you know, if your anxiety ramps
up again. I can, but if it can,
honestly, at this point, I really I
don't need it. So, I would rather just
air on the side of caution.
Um, so at this point, you are officially
under arrest for OBI. I'm not going to
put the handcuffs on you. I do need to
do a search just to make sure you don't
have any weapons or anything on you. So,
if you would just stand up for me real
quick.
We're going to come back up to actually
just stay right here. I don't want to
take a chance on the phone. Just set
your hands behind your back here for me.
Keep them right there for me. You don't
have anything inside your pockets or
anything, do you? Okay. You have
anything on you going to poke, stick, or
hurt me in any way?
King Victor.
So, like I said, I'll I'll lock your car
up. I'll get your phone, purse, wallet,
or whatever you got in there. Um, and
obviously the keys for the car. I'll
move it over a little bit more so nobody
gets it. lock it up here. I'll take you
back to uh my office there at Bavia. Um
we'll do the paperwork and stuff and
then um once we're finished with
everything um you can
call and then go ahead and buckle your
seat belt for me.
head and
sand. Walk around the front side of the
car and up to the wall there where that
fire extinguisher is mounted
at over here to the right side of the
door. Little
more. Watch your step coming up here.
The end of the carpet down there. Turn
left and then the first doorway past
that shelf. Just have a seat on that
bench straight ahead for me, please. So,
this is the form I was talking about. I
had to read to you. Here's a copy for
you to follow with. I'll be start this
top paragraph up here. This is going to
explain the consequences for taking a
refusal
test. You now remember 45119 operating a
vehicle under the influence of alcohol
or drug or a combination of them. If you
refuse to take any chemical test
required by law, your Ohio driving
privilege will be suspended immediately
and you'll have to pay a fee to have a
privilege reinstated. If you take a
chemical test, you may have an
independent chemical test
taking. So, basically what this says is
I'm going to offer you a breance. Okay?
If you take the test and the test at or
over the limit, you'll have a 90day
suspension of your driver's license. If
you refuse to take the test, then you'll
have a automatic one year suspension of
your license. So, three months if you
take a test over, one year if you refuse
to take it. Does that make sense? Yes,
sir. You have any questions on that?
Okay.
It, like I said, they it goes both ways.
Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.
Everybody has their own reasons for it.
All right. So, how this machine works,
it's going to take two breath samples
from you. If there's any difference in
between the value of those test, the
lower of the two will be your official
silver. So, it gives you the benefit of
your doubt. Um, when it's ready, I'll
put my mouthpiece on there. Just place
your lips around the end of this
mouthpiece. You got to take in a big
deep breath, feel your lips around it,
and blow one continuous stream of air
until I tell you to stop. It takes about
10 seconds. So, once you start blowing,
I'll count down from 10, and that'll
tell you to stop. So, basically, just
blow as hard as you can. All right. It's
going to be a couple minutes before it's
ready. After your first sample, there's
about three before the next. So you have
a little time to catch a breath before
you have to do it second
time. Take a deep breath and boil water.
9 8 7
6 Take a deep breath not to start
overflow 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
stop for a sec. We'll do the same thing
in about 3 minutes.
sing. Take a deep breath and
lower. 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
Stop.
Heat.
Heat. All
right. You can see your alcohol attaches
to 131. So you are the
limit.
08. So if your sample was over the
limit, your license is going to be
suspended for 90 days starting. I have
to read this bottom portion of the form
here to you. Independent of any
penalties or sanctions imposed upon
pursuant to any other section or vise to
the municipal ordinance, your driver's
license or commercial driver's license
permit or non-resident operating
privilege is now suspended. So for uh
the next 90 days, you will not be
overdrive. Okay. All right. So this your
citation here. Okay. your court date set
for next Friday at uh 8:30 Claremont
County Municipal Court and it's
mandatory appearance decided to for the
speed 86 and 65 and they'll be uh if you
have any questions about anything or
some emergency occurs on this day you're
not able to make it for whatever reason
of course healthare numbers here you can
call them and make a rank and let them
know ahead of time. What's the common
outcome for this?
Um so typically on a
u our first offense cooperative person
they will typically offer you a
reduction of a what they call a third
reckless operous operation with higher
fines but not actually a conviction of
OBI. Okay. Typically, now I can't say
for certain that's going to happen for
your case, but
what type of cases does it happen with?
People who are cooperative and it's
their first offense.
You know what I'm saying? Yeah. All
right. So, I can't tell you that's going
to happen in your case, but typically in
these situations, that's what happens.
So, okay. All right. there. I I have no
reason to believe that that would not be
the case for you because you've been
cooperative and everything, but I'm not
going to sit here and tell you that's
for certain what's going to happen with
you cuz I don't want you come back like
what he said. You know what I mean? Like
cuz at that point it's entirely up to
them. Is it still 99 times out of 100?
That's why. Okay. Okay. Is it still 90
days no matter what for your suspension?
Yeah. Correct. That's separate from
this. This is through the court. Your
suspension is through the B&B.
Okay. So, all right. Second uh paper
here is a your copy of the your breath
test print out. So your first sample
when you blew in the first time was a
137. The second one was a 131. So
because that one was a lower one, that
was your official score. But your first
sample actually was a little bit higher
than the second one. Did that happen by
6,000? Yeah, it's pretty standard that
there was a slight deviation between the
two of them. You just had probably had a
little bit higher volume. So yeah, so
your breath your breath volume is 1.988
L and this one's 2.113. So this one's
actually a more accurate number because
it's a deeper lung air sample, but
because you blew just a tad bit less on
the second one, it didn't register as
deep or as high of a DAC legal is what
0080. Yeah. So you just missed like this
one right here was 3,000 short of double
legal. Well, actually no, there was 16.
So yeah, so you're you're much closer to
double the legal limit than just over
the limit. I mean, so and then third
copy here is your copy of that form and
I fill over your license
suspension. Your physical driver's
license, I would have to send up with
that form to the B&B. So you will not be
getting that ID card back, your license
card. In about a week and a half, two
weeks, you can go to the B&B and get an
ID card if you need one for like ID
purposes or whatever. But if you try to
get one before that, they'll make you
relinquish your driver's license
completely to be able to take the
driving test all over again. They have
to have the suspension on file before
they'll let you get an ID card when
you're under suspension. So, wait about
2 weeks before you try to go to if you
need an ID card. If you have some other
form of picture, photo ID for something.
I do. Okay. Then you then don't worry
about it. But if for whatever reason you
needed to get him an ID card, um you
would need to wait at least two weeks
before you try and do that.
What's just wondering what's the worst
outcome in this situation? Worst
outcome, you go to jail for 3 days. um
you pay
about I'm going to say $800 in fines and
court costs and um you can have another
90-day suspension of your license on top
of a 90 that you already have through
the court. Actually, I think it's 6
months, but it's typically it's arranged
through the court for this. That's not
going to happen in this on a first
offense cooperative
person. Like I said, it's typically
so this like mess up works, right? I
don't know what you're I mean until you
get to this person once you go to court
the first time and it's heard in court,
you'll be able to request driving
privileges from the judge. So for work,
for work, grocery store, doctor's
office, that sort of thing. um write
down like the times that you go to work
and like a time that's good for you to
go to the grocery because they will
specifically map out days of the week
and hours of those days of the week that
you'll be able to drive. And if you're
caught driving outside of that for any
reason, you're going to be in even more
trouble driving under an OBI suspension
outside of your curriculum. So, you
definitely don't want to mess with that.
They'll take your license plate for a
couple years. I don't want any of that.
No, I understand. Um you're not a bad
person. just made a bad decision. Yeah,
that's all it was. So hopefully it's a
learning lesson and we'll we'll do it
again. Y a lot a lot of people don't
realize where the legal limit actually
is. They're like falling down drunk. I I
feel okay. It 008 happens way before
that point where you're like can't stand
up, can't talk.
So those cliche commercials they say
where it's like buzz driving is drunk
driving. there. It's totally true cuz
0.0 the legal limit happens way before
people realize. How many drinks is 08?
Like one. It's different for different
people. Your body size um your
metabolism an average person
uh like a average size man 51 6t 180 to
200 lb. Four drinks is going to four
drinks is going to put you right at it.
Um so all right. And you and it's also
within a sort of time frame. You know,
you drink four drinks over 6 hours, it's
a whole it's a lot different than
drinking four drinks in one hour. So,
the concentration and the time that it's
consumed, your metabolism, your body
size, you know, it's a percentage of
your blood. So, the bigger being smaller
is that big you being smaller, you just,
you know, three drinks is going to
probably put you there, somebody your
size, even if I had it long enough, but
just depends on how many you had, how
big they were, what type they were. you
know, you there's a big difference
between drinking a wine cooler and
taking a shot of Everclear. So now
you're looking at the concentration of
the alcohol versus by size and there's a
lot of factors that go into it. So for
me to sit here and say three drinks for
you is a very broad estimate, right? So
um Okay. And best case scenario, best
case scenario is what I said before. or
a third reckless um instead of going to
there's a mandatory 3-day jail term with
this with an OBI if you're convicted.
Now, what they do in lie of having you
actually go to the jail and physically
sit there for 3 days is they send you to
a 3-day driving intervention program.
So, it's a class you go and learn about
the effects of alcohol and drugs on your
body driving. Will I be able to do that
instead of you absolutely will be able
to do that. They want you to be a
productive member of the society. They
want you to be able to go to work and do
all the stuff you need to do. and we're
going to give you driving privileges.
They're going to let you go to that
class instead of go to the jail cuz we
got a whole lot more other dirt bags we
need to put in the jail and to clog it
up with people who made a bad decision
like you to sit in there for 3 days. We
don't have room in the jail to put nice
people who had too much to drink one
time in the jail. You're not going to
have to go to jail. I can tell you that.
Okay. Um you will get that 3day driving
intervention program. Um that's Yeah, it
sucks, but it's better to sit in jail
for days. So less than that. Yeah,
that's true. Um, other than that, it's
one step at a time. You know, go go to
this hearing. You'll either be assigned
a public defender or if you have, you
know, the financial means to hire your
own attorney, you can do that. Um, what
would they do for you though? Like a
public defender? Yeah. Like it's an
attorney that they will sign you that at
a significantly reduced rate versus
hiring direct, right? But I already I
mean I I already am guilty for blowing
past the legal limit. So what would they
really be? There are things that they
can present and try to fight in court.
So it's you know it's it's my word
versus theirs. So proof I have to pro
it's a burden is on me to prove that I
had probable cause to stop you, probable
cause to get you out of the car,
probable cause to arrest you, bring you
into this machine. I I I did right. I
certainly feel like I did or otherwise I
wouldn't have done what I did. But um
it's just it's procedure. It's it's
innocent until proven guilty. That's how
the judicial system works. So they're
going to allow you the ability to defend
yourself in court, present your case for
whatever it's worth. I present my case.
It goes back and forth, whatever. So um
yeah, just take it one step at a time
with this. And uh it's it's stressful. I
get that. I'm sure. And you know, and
already having anxiety issues is going
to probably just make it a little bit
worse. But um if it gives you some
solace um you're not going to see the
inside of jail cell for this um and you
more than likely like I said in most
cases they will offer you a plea deal of
a reduced charge less than the OBI which
would be but I'm not telling you that's
what's going to happen. I'm not making I
want to make that very clear. Yes I
understand 99 times out of 100 happens
could happen. It will it will more than
likely happen, but I am not guaranteeing
that it will. So, uh, go to court next
Friday. Um, ask the judge for privileges
and go from there.
But my license is gone for not. You
cannot drive until next Friday. 100%
certain. Once you go to court, you can
ask the judge for privileges and they
give it to you at that point. They'll
make it very clear when, where, and what
times and all that you're allowed to
drive. you will get a piece of paper
that physically says the days of the
week and hours that you're allowed to
drive, the locations that you're allowed
to go to and from, and
um at that point, then you'll be able to
drive. It will be very clear to you when
you can drive, when those privileges
are. And when school starts, will that
be
also that
it's a
lot. But it's just hard to come home. I
would have stayed just to be careful.
Definitely would have been the right way
to go on this or call an Uber or
something. But um do me a favor and tell
everybody you know about this as
embarrassing as it might be because you
might save somebody's life or save
somebody a lot of headache and that when
you see somebody who's had just what
they think is just a few drinks and
they're about to drive somewhere, stop
them. Let them know that just because
you don't feel like you're wasted drunk,
it's they're probably most people don't.
They don't realize. And unless you found
yourself in this situation or know
somebody who works in law enforcement to
be able to like explain it to you or a
physician who could explain the
physiological effects of why the legal
limit is 0.08 and how much earlier it
occurs than what most people call drunk.
You know what I'm saying?
We're adults. I'm going to talk to you
like an adult. You get what I'm saying?
Like it's it's it's not that point. The
people that have accidents and it's the
people that think they're okay and drive
come to find out they were almost double
the legal limit. Yeah. Exactly. So, does
this happen a lot? It happens a lot.
You're the fourth person we've arrested
tonight. Oh, I hate that sentence. Yeah.
So, um it's unfortunate.
No, that's I mean, not to sound crass,
but this is literally my job to find the
people that are driving impaired. No, I
understand it. I'm kind of past the
point where I just pull people over for
speed and hand out speeding tickets all
day. Like, this is the stuff that really
kills people. This is the Yeah. Um, you
know, sometimes it's one vehicle crashes
and they only hurt themselves, but the
majority of the time it's it's more than
one car and the other people get hurt or
killed and the person that's impaired
usually isn't hurt or killed or and then
they have to live the rest of their life
with that decision, but they made
mistakes and whatnot. So, but you just
don't know if you're speeding. Yep.
Okay. It's that simple. Because a lot of
the times the uh one of the biggest
things we catch people on they're
inherited speed because they don't
realize how fast they're going because
they're impaired. Their spa their time
and space you know sensory is thrown off
so they don't feel like they're driving
as fast as they are. Especially with
marijuana that really causes people to
like everything seems slower than it
actually is. A lot of times like when
people are just strictly or really
impaired like smoke a lot of weed we get
down triple digits but another they're
like I thought I was only going to say
like no you're 112 and they're like I
just as shocked as you are they're like
are you serious? Yeah it it cuz it
doesn't seem like that cuz even though
things are blowing by like this to them
it's just only going by this
fast. So see it all the
time. Where's your ride coming from?
Uh about that about 10 minutes ago.
Okay. So, I got one more thing I got to
fill out just for them to sign and I'm
turning it over to them. When they get
here, I'll come get you and Okay.
