are you on medication
does your medication stay not to drink
and take it
mix it with alcohol does it say not to
mix it with alcohol
was the last time you took your medicine
um
[Music]
four years ago oh so you haven't taken
it recently
okay
no
all right sir since we're already this
far i'm going to read you miranda okay
you have the right to remain silent and
refuse to answer questions anything you
say may be used against you in a court
of law you have the right to consult an
attorney before speaking to the police
and to have an attorney present during
questioning now or in the future
if you cannot afford an attorney one
will be appointed for you before any
questioning if you wish you can decide
at any time to exercise detroit to not
answer any questions or make any
statements do you understand each of
these
yes okay boys i've explained to you
do you understand them okay having them
in mind do you wish to answer questions
yes
you said you had three tall boys
uh
yeah i i think two or three yeah what
time was that
i can't have to go three four
four five p.m like a few hours ago
is one of those in your car to the same
one you drink ah no sir that's an old
one that one's old it's actually older
yes
okay my fellow officer said it was in
your cup holder when you stopped you for
originally
yeah again
it was there but
it's so
what's your policy say about having open
containers of alcohol in your patrol
vehicle
you have to have six hours after
drinking before you can come to ships
and you said he didn't contact your
sergeant or anything and saying you
weren't going to make it to work today
and you're scheduled to work like you
this is your day on
how far did you make it from your house
before you decided to turn around
we had to win to say you were by lowe's
hey officer can i get those keys for you
for your car real quick
oh you got them yes sir oh no not their
keys so it's
it's all good
do you mind if i just take that
uh i think you guys are um
you might be on his belt
i
this one happened back in
february
what were you drinking what kind of beer
um
tall boys yeah
so let me ask you a question are these
two your personal keys
uh so um these two are my girls keys
these two are yours
these no
uh the these two are hers
okay your girlfriend or something yeah
just these two okay yeah yeah um
did you actually take benadryl or was
that a not true statement no no
so you took benadryl and alcohol
two depressants yes
gotcha
i'm going to ask you again are you
willing to perform center field sobriety
exercises man
if this is going to help
me in jail now
well
i'm just that alone doesn't put you in a
jail you should know that
i'm just trying to go to work so you're
just trying to go home
what
are you trying to go to work right now
yes sir your condition you're definitely
not going to go to work right now
you are set up
i don't have to drive home
um
i just want to go did you sign a refusal
already not yet
now you were doing you can you can do
your thing
he said he took a lot of benadryl a few
hours ago and he drank three tall boys
so he
mixed those two
and he's supposed to go to work at six
today and he said he never called a
sergeant right but the thing is is he
was traveling south on 441 and he
started going and decided he was not up
to it and came back okay
okay that makes a little more sense he
said he never called a sergeant he never
even went to any on the radio he said i
don't know that's true we can talk to a
sergeant whenever they get here i don't
think so but he's scheduled to work
today he said
he decided to turn around he should be
coming out here so
okay all right our captain
so they're gonna have to take all this
stuff right yeah it's gone and i'll stay
here with the vehicle depending on the
outcome i got his signal zeros and my
car let's go ahead and do it
no this
i made sure
oh oh no i didn't
open the car
it's in the driver's seat
hey can you stand up for me mommy yeah
all right just come up towards me turn
around
these are all your personal features
your hands up these two
yeah so this is the front doors
okay and this is the jeep your personal
jeep all right yes sir okay
yeah once again um so you already
explained everything to them sir i
already know what 10 15 means
um
he says refusing center field sobriety
exercises he's going to refuse to go to
the hospital
all right
um
i i am really just begging you i i i
don't want to go to jail well hey we're
going to thank you and we're going to
figure it out okay go ahead don't get it
right no no no no no no
let's walk back this way yeah
