Someone just came by and like banged on the door and then they took off. I said, "Did you call?" He's like, "No." And he's like, "Yeah." I was like, "So I pulled over, called, knocked on the door." He's like, "There." Yeah. Now he's awake. This is the most awake I've seen. >> I appreciate Hey, what's going on? Hey, I'm Deputy Creriff's Office. How are you? >> Fine. >> On July 18th of 2025, Sergeant Kristen Matazooki was found slumped over the wheel, clearly intoxicated. But this wasn't the first time he had been caught. Internal documents released by the Lucas County Sheriff's Office revealed an incident in January 2024 where the sergeant was found drinking alcohol while on duty. Following this, he was placed on leave, demoted, and suspended for 15 days after admitting it wasn't his first time doing so. 3 months later, the sergeant was involved in a hidden run where he begged the other party not to call the cops before speeding off. 2 weeks after that, he was pulled over for driving recklessly near Highland Meadows Golf Course where Sylvania police officers arrested him on suspicion of DUI. Okay, turn around. Put your hands behind your back. You're under arrest. >> OVI. Chris, >> no. >> No. No. We're not going to be underrest. >> Doing a good job listening now. Don't stop. >> During his arrest, the sergeant emphasizes he's law enforcement and begs not to be booked into jail. >> You still work for the sheriff's office or not? >> Yes, sir. currently >> seriously. I know I did. I was drinking. So, I'm not going to put you in a bad situation, but I would not like it. >> Despite all of this, it seems the sergeant still hadn't learned his lesson. On July 18th of this year, officers in Monroe County, Michigan, received a call after he was found asleep at the wheel on the side of the road. >> What uh what's going on? You're just sitting on the road. I know. I just want to go to bed. >> You just want to go to bed? >> Okay. Where? Where are you coming from? >> Just let me go. >> Let you go. >> What?

Do you understand that? Will you uh do a preliminary breath test for me? So, you understand you're going to get a $100 fine. >> Walk this way, Kristen. Walk this way. This way.

Yes, sir. >> So, this is our our breath testing room. Okay. >> So, I got to observe you for 15 minutes before we do the breath test. Uh can you take a seat in that blue chair right over there? >> Over there. Can you uh open your mouth for me? I just got to make sure there's nothing in there. Lift up your tongue. Lift it up. Sorry. that your tongue up like D. Okay. >> Just put me where I'm supposed to be. So I know how things go. So >> I get it. >> We got to do >> we got to do this breath test first. So we still still got a couple more minutes. >> So now you're refusing. >> Yeah. >> So I'm going to read you this one more time just so you understand. >> Everything. So >> So >> I am a peace officer. >> I know you are. You are under arrest for the offense of operating a vehicle while intoxicated due to the consumption of alcoholic liquor, a controlled substance, other intoxicating substance, or a combination. >> I am requesting that you take a chemical test to check for alcohol and/or controlled substances or other intoxicating substances in your body. >> If you were asked to take or took a preliminary breath test before your arrest, you must still take the test I'm offering you. If if you refuse to take this chemical test, it will not be given without a court order, but I may seek to obtain such a court order. Your refusal to take this test shall result in the suspension of your operator's or chauffeur's license and vehicle group designation or operating privilege and the addition of six points to your driving record. After taking a chemical test, you have the right to demand that a person of your own choosing administer a breath, blood, or urine test. You will be given a reasonable opportunity for such a test. You are responsible for obtaining a chemical analysis of a test sample taken by a person of your own choosing. The results of both chemical tests shall be admissible in a judicial proceeding and will be considered with other admissible evidence in determining your innocence or guilt. Do you understand all that? >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. So, you understand if you refuse this breath test, then I'm going to get a court order and we're going to do go to the hospital. We're going to go a blood test. Do you understand that? And you understand that your license >> is going to be suspended for >> Yes, sir. >> and the addition of six points to your driving record? >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. So, are you refusing to take a breath test? >> Yes, sir. >> You're refusing for the breath test? >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. Okay. Stand back up. I got to put you back in handcuffs cuz we're going back to the hospital. Okay. >> Why? Why are you going back to the hospital? >> Because I'm going to do a get a court order and we're going to do a blood test. >> Okay. So, you're going to be an ass. >> No, I've been nothing but polite and courteous to you. >> You been an ass. So, and all I asked was for my phone. So, >> I understand that. But you're in custody. And you understand that because you're a police officer. >> Yeah. And you don't understand. Can >> I go straight on the door? Yeah. >> Uh, keep going. Take a right. >> Walk straight towards my patrol car. We're going to get back in the back seat. Okay. >> Yes, sir. >> You You refuse. At this point, we're going through with it. Okay. We're going to get blood. >> You need some help? >> Nope. >> I understand that. But we're not going to go back in there.

I know how everything works. >> You're right. And this can go as smoothly or as not smoothly as you want it to. >> Right now to do it smoothly. >> Well, then >> then you understand the legalities of why we have to go to the hospital now, right? Because you first you you so you consented, then you refused, now you're consenting again. So that comes into a problem legally because now you have a defense attorney saying, "Well, you refused >> and then you consented. So the consent breath test that you give me might not actually be valid, right? >> So you put me in a very awkward position. So now Yeah, I have to go get a search warrant. >> You know, I'm going to lose my job. >> Now I'm losing my job. >> I don't I don't know how your department works. >> So I'm losing my job. >> Thanks. >> All right.

Yes, sir. >> And then there's going to be two rooms. I'm going to figure out which room we're going in. Hang on. Right there. Right here. We're going to go into this room right here. >> And then you can have a seat on the bed. >> Yeah. >> You can lay down. I can't because of the cuffs. >> Okay. >> You know, I'm not going to do it. >> Again, I I don't know you, though. That's the thing. >> That's the thing.
