On the morning of August 18, 2022, around 8:25 AM, a Lyon County, Iowa deputy responded to a report of an erratic driver and stopped a vehicle that was drifting within its lane and traveling well below the speed limit, about 25 in a 55. The driver admitted she had been drinking, with her last drink barely an hour earlier. After standardized field sobriety tests and a roadside breath test, she was arrested for operating while intoxicated, a first offense. She later registered well over the legal limit on a calibrated breath test, and her driving privileges were revoked for 180 days. Reported charge: Operating while intoxicated, first offense (Iowa Code 321J.2). This is public police body camera footage obtained through a public records request.
