Paraphrased report:
While patrolling on Hope Road en route to Shades of Death Road, I observed a white GMC SUV crossing over the white line, its wheels almost off the road. I turned my vehicle around and followed it. The vehicle continued to cross the white line, prompting me to activate my lights. It pulled over on the side of the road, and upon approaching from the driver's side, I identified Tina in the driver's seat.
I requested Tina's documents, and upon interaction, I detected the smell of alcoholic beverages on her breath. Tina, appearing confused with slow movements, handed me her registration and insurance. I asked her to step out for Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFSTs). As she exited, she stumbled to the right, prompting me to position her at the rear of her vehicle.
During the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test, Tina exhibited difficulty with smooth pursuit, nystagmus at maximum deviation, and nystagmus onset before 45 degrees in both eyes. The Walk and Turn test revealed Tina's inability to maintain balance or take heel-to-toe steps. In the One Leg Stand test, she lost balance almost immediately, raising her arms for support and not counting aloud, ultimately stopping the test after around 6 seconds. I then placed her under arrest for DUI.
While en route to the station, Tina questioned me about probable cause during the transportation. At the station, I escorted Tina to the holding room, conducted a DUI packet review, and ensured her mouth was clear of objects. Patrolman Bozzone initiated the observation time, and Sgt Stocker took charge of Tina for further testing.
Tina later provided samples of her breath which yielded a BAC of .17%. She was issued the following citations:
Driving under the influence
Reckless driving
Failure to maintain lane
