Hello, the Sheriff's Office traffic team. Reason I'm stopped at the infinity is we had a call about your vehicle. They were concerned about your ability to operate a vehicle. Is everything okay, right? Have you had anything alcohol or anything to drink today? All right. Are you on any medication prescribed by a doctor? Well, Ani, how much have you had today? My anxiety. We're right in the middle of the pharmacy. It's fine. Yes, last night I. Oh, okay. All right. What were we doing up at Charlie's?

Pub um I stop. I had to use the rest. Okay, okay, well, they're the ones that called. They were concerned about you being able to drive safely. Okay, all right, so I have another vehicle coming. How come you didn't, when I got out of the car to walk up to you, didn't uh, you just took off on the access right there, or did you not even see me? No, I, I sound, no, I was behind you when you were at the stop sign. I was walking up to your car, and you took off. Okay, sorry, all right. Well, like I said, right now, I'm just waiting. Um, do you have your license on you, ma'am? I don't, but I have a picture. No, that's all right. Are you, is this your car? Okay, how old is the little baby? Um, she's two, and he's seven months. Oh, okay, so when you went in the, when you went in the pub, did you just take the baby? I took her. You took her in the pub? Yeah, I just had shoes. You didn't take

him no. You left him in the car. I left the vehicle driving. I just had to. Okay, I'm going to get my form. Can you get her out real quick? Sure, we're going to go over here, miss. I'm going to have one of them stay with the car to watch the children, but I'm going to have you come over here real quick. All right, at this, we're going to go up to that line. All right, at this time, ma'am, I am concerned about your ability to operate a vehicle safely. I'm seeing a couple clues and indicators that believe need to be you may not be able to operate it safely. And because of that, I'm going to ask you to submit to field sobriety to make sure you're able to operate your Infinity safely today. Okay, will you do the exercises I'm going to ask of you? I will. All right, ma'am, uh, what's your name? All right, F. The first thing I'm going to do m is I'm going to check your eyes. All right, so what I want you to do is stand

with your feet together, arms at your side. You see that pen? I need you to focus on that pen. When I move it, I'm going to move it in a left-to-right fashion. You're going to follow with your eyes and your eyes only. Keep your head completely straight. Do you understand? Yes, I understand. Do you have any questions? No, I do not. All right, all right, miss. This time, we're going to go upwards. Same thing, just your eyes, head straight, okay? Yes, sir. Right, relax for a moment. All right, this time, what I'm going to do is I'm going to go around your face in a circle twice. You're going to follow with your eyes, your eyes only. After I make that second turn, I'm going to bring it in close to your nose. I'm not going to touch your nose. It'll be very close. Yes, sir. As mine, what I'm trying to do is get your eyes to cross. Yes, sir. Okay, yes, sir. One more time, go ahead and relax for a moment. All six, no vertical, so all six, no.

vertical all right M this white line that you're standing on. Do you see it? Yes, sir. Do you consider it a fairly straight line? I do, sir. Is it free of any debris that could cause you to trip? No, sir, it's not. What's on it that could cause you to trip? No, sir. No, sir. No, I asked, is it free of any debris? Oh, yes, sir. Okay, I see that you're wearing sandals. Um, sir, would you like to take those off and do it barefoot, or are you comfortable with your sandals? I'm comfortable with my sandals, sir. All right, what I'm going to do, ma'am, is this time I want you to put your left foot directly on the line, take your right foot, place it directly in front of the left, like mine, arms at your side, stay in that position, do not start until I tell you to begin. When I tell you to begin, though, Miss Patton, you're going to take a series of steps, counting your steps out loud like such: There is one, two, three. You're going to go all the way to nine.

Upon reaching nine, you're going to leave that lead foot in place. You're going to take that back foot, you'll step out, make a series of steps, turning all the way around. You're then going to return back down the line, another nine steps, like such: one, two, done, three, Beauty B him. I know it is. Can you take into consideration, please, the wind? Wind, I will. We'll actually, they, we'll move to that line, barely breathe. We'll move to that line now. As you're doing this, your arms to remain at your side, your feet are to touch heel to toe. You are to count your steps out loud. Once you start, do not stop. It's nine steps, a turn, and nine steps, one continuous motion. There's no stopping in between. Okay, yeah, let's move over to this one, so you're in the wind. So again, left foot on the line, right foot in front of left, touching heel to toe. Got it. Go ahead and assume the position, right foot in front of left. All right, no, don't start yet. Wait till I

tell you to start so left foot on the line, right foot in front of left, touching heel to toe. Right Foot, Right Foot In Front or left. Are you ready? Yes sir, I am ready. I'm sorry, yes sir, I am ready. All right, put your foot, right foot in front of left. That's the starting position. Now begin. Yes sir, wooo M. Do you remember the instructions? One in front of the other for nine steps and then turn and go back nine, right? Okay, how many steps did you take? I didn't count. Do you want me to start again? No, no, just continue back the other way. [Music] All right, come back there. How many steps was that? Honestly, I got back. Okay, all right, I can do it again. No, we're fine. Do you have a stopwatch for me in a second? Yeah, I can. Here, just wait right here on this line for me. Yes sir, we got two more exercises to do sir. Oh no, I'll just have you keep the time, it's fine. Okay, yeah, let me get it ready. All right, the next

exercise is called the one-leg stand. Okay, when I tell you to, you're going to take the foot of your choice, and you're going to raise it approximately 6 inches off the ground. It's going to look like this: your foot will be parallel to the ground, your arms will be straight, your legs will both be straight. 6 inches is like a Coke can; think about resting your foot on top of a Coke can, sir. You're going to count out loud in the manner of such: 1, 1, 1, 2, 1003. You're going to continue to count until I say stop, right? I'm not going to tell you how long I'm going to have you do it for, but I will tell you that I'm about to do it longer than I'm going to have you do it, sir. If at any time you lose your balance or anything like that and have to put your foot down, regain your composure, pick that foot back up, and continue counting where you left off, sir. So, if you have to put it

down on a five. When you pick it back up, make sure we start counting again at six. All right, again, both legs are to remain straight, foot is parallel to the ground, six inches off the ground, arms are at your side, you're looking at your foot, and you're counting out loud, one, one, two, excuse me, thirteen, and so on, sir. Any questions on what I'm asking you to do? No, sir. Do you have what? No. What foot do you want to stand on, and what foot do you want to raise? I'm going to stand on this, but can you block the rent? It's actually very strong. It is windy, like I said. I did just do it, but what I can do, I mean, I can stand to the side, but what I need you to do is I have no problem standing here. I just want you to walk it. No, do you have any physical handicaps or ailments that keep you from doing this? All right, so you're going to stand

on your left and raise your right. Okay, all right, tell me when you're ready. Ready, begin, and you can stop. The last exercise is called the finger to nose. So, what I need you to do is take both your fingers like this, index fingers. Now put them in your side, palms forward like mine. Remain in that position until I tell you to start. When I tell you, let's switch sides so the sun's not in your eyes. I'd rather have the sun in my eyes. When I tell you to start, you're going to have your head tilted back and your eyes shut. My eyes will stay open to watch you, but your eyes will be shut, okay? If I say left, I'm going to call out a series of left to right, sir. If I say left, it's straight up, tip of the nose, tip of the finger, and right back down to your side. I will not remind you to put it down, sir. If I say right, it'll be the exact same, straight up, tip of nose, tip of finger, and right back down to your side. So we're clear.

that's the tip of the finger, not the nail, not the pad, not the sides. Yes, sir. If this is your nose and that's your, that's the bridge, and those are your nostrils, it's literally the tip to tip, so it's like this, NOP, like this straight on, so, and then right down this, this just like that. Yes, ma'am, turn it around to my, to your nose, and right back down to your side, sir. All right, Miss, head back, eyes shut, left, right, remember the instructions, remember the instructions. Good, you got to put your hand down. Oh, sorry, sorry, sir, left, right, right, left. All right, I got one last exercise, it's a balance exercise. Face that stop sign real quick, I'm going to explain how to balance for you real quick in a minute. Left in the jail, at this time you're under arrest for DUI. Do you have somebody that can come get the [Music] children, who can come get the children? All right, we're just need to call him. I don't want to have, I don't

want to have DCF have to come out here for him. We're going to go why I'm being H. You're being arrested for DUI, driving under the influence, and that influence encompasses alcohol and medications. You're being arrested CU. You're not able to drive that vehicle safely. The clues and indicators you provided me during field sobriety are enough to affect the arrest on you. So we're going to go to my car. No, we're good. I got it all on the camera too. All right, will you give him a call and see if he can come get the children? Yeah, can you search? We're going to come over here. This female is going to search you real quick before I put you in the car, okay? M, do you have anything on your person that can get you in trouble? No, okay. Nothing on you that's going to get you in trouble with the jail, drugs, weapons, or anything, okay? Is there anything in the vehicle that's going to get you in trouble, drugs, marijuana, weapons, anything?

hey though it's questions I have to ask. I said no. I know and I'm just just saying it's just questions we have to ask. Do a surgery person. Okay, so go ahead. Spread your for me. What's your husband's name? Charles. Charles. You want to tell me what I what I failed. It's not pass or fail but I'll tell you that you gave me enough clues and indicators to arrest you. Oh, did I? Oh yes, absolutely. Is my anxiety medicine that I didn't tell you about have anything to do with this? Steroids? Absolutely. All right. If you look at your medication bottle, it says do not operate machinery. No and and absolutely that I didn't tell you about it could be. I'm not sure what that is but the the anxiety medications. Absolutely, ma'am. Well and also okay yeah okay. She'll be right back up. You just give them the number over the radio. We're trying to get a hold of your husband. You got to take take a seat.
