A broken heart, a tail light out, and a smell of alcohol — all it took for a routine traffic stop to turn into a DUI arrest. Late one night in Ocean Beach, Officer Gonz conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle that had crossed the white shoulder line multiple times and was visibly weaving within its lane. When he approached the driver, a young woman identified as Marilyn, she was visibly emotional — eyes watery, voice shaking — and immediately explained she had just been through a breakup. She insisted she had not been drinking. Not a single drop. But the officer had already detected the distinct odor of alcohol coming from inside the vehicle before she said a word. When asked to step out for a standard field sobriety evaluation, Marilyn was cooperative but struggling. During the HGN eye test, officers noted clear nystagmus indicators — a clinical sign of impairment. She had difficulty maintaining the starting position during the walk-and-turn test and required repeated demonstrations before the test could begin. The one-leg stand test produced additional clues. Despite her cooperation, the results were consistent with impairment throughout all three standardized field sobriety tests. When asked directly how much she had actually consumed, she maintained her story — nothing. Just a breakup. Just tears. Based on his observations, the lane violations, the odor of alcohol, and the field sobriety test results, the officer placed Marilyn under arrest for driving while intoxicated. She was handcuffed, searched, and transported to headquarters for a 20-minute observation period before breath testing. Her car was towed from the scene. A friend named Robert, who she had called during the drive, arrived at the station to take custody of her for the night — signing the required New Jersey release form acknowledging responsibility to prevent her from operating a vehicle. She was not happy to see him. Drop your thoughts in the comments.
