A routine check of a disabled vehicle quickly unearths a concerning level of impairment, transforming a simple roadside assistance call into a serious investigation. On May 21, 2023, at approximately 7:03 PM, Sergeant Matthew Gajewski encountered a disabled 2020 Toyota SUV with a flat tire. The driver, a 45-year-old woman, exhibited slurred speech and a strong odor of alcohol, yet she denied consuming any and refused to provide her identification. Her subsequent failure to adequately perform field sobriety exercises led to her arrest for driving under the influence. Post-arrest, her breath samples revealed a blood alcohol content of 0.332%, more than four times the legal limit, resulting in multiple summonses including reckless and careless driving before being released to a responsible party. --- Transparency through the lens of the law.
