The driver continued driving erratically while headed westbound on Madison Avenue before stopping at a flashing yellow light at the intersection of Madison Avenue and Woodward. Officer Bunner noticed that the driver continued swerving before activating his emergency lights near the intersection with McKinley. After he activated his emergency lights, the driver pulled over on Madison Avenue between McKinley and Spring Garden. Officer Bunner exited his vehicle and made contact with the driver of the Honda, who was identified as Ashley Prevett. As he was speaking with Ashley, Officer Bunner detected the odor of alcohol and observed other indicators of impairment. She admitted to consuming 3 martinis at Bar Italia earlier that evening. She would later tell Officer Bunner that she was transporting her step-daughter Olivia Hearn (20) and other passenger Emma Stefano (24) to the Wine Dive bar. Officer Bunner asked Ashley to recite the alphabet from “A” to “Z” without singing, but she was unable to do so despite 2 attempts. She was also unable to count backwards from “57” to “43” in the correct sequence. After Officer Lipcsey arrived on scene to assist, Ashley was asked to exit the vehicle and perform field sobriety exercises. Officer Bunner started with the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test. During the HGN test, Officer Bunner observed the lack of smooth pursuit, distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation, and the onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees. The second exercise was the Walk and Turn test, but she was unable to perform the test. She even admitted that she was too impaired to drive. Based on her erratic driving, the odor of alcohol, her admission to consuming alcohol, and her inability to adequately perform the field sobriety exercises, Officer Bunner placed Ashley under arrest for Operating a Vehicle Impaired (OVI). After she was placed under arrest, Ashley did answer a few questions and admitted that she made a mistake. Officer Lipcsey learned that her daughter Olivia also had a warrant for her arrest over an unpaid ticket from Parma. However, she provided proof that she had just paid the ticket and Parma did not want her to be arrested. Both Olivia and Emma were released at the scene and allowed to walk away. Officer Bunner then transported Ashley to the Lakewood Police Department for further processing. At the station, the ALS form was read to her, and she agreed to submit breath samples. Her breathalyzer results indicated a BAC level of 0.251%, which was more than triple the legal limit of 0.08%. After Ashley was processed, she was issued citations for OVI (4511.19) and Driving in Marked Lanes (331.08) and released pending her court appearance. ------------------------------------------------ Please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and consider supporting this channel (email us for more information).
