So, I get that. >> So, you guys helped her out of the actual vehicle. >> She honestly, we were standing, we were talking to her on this side of the vehicle and she was saying something and then all we saw was the car start just rocking a little bit. We went to the other side of the car and she literally started crawling out. So, we just was sticking out under the airbag. She was >> from the driver's side. >> Yeah, I guess the driver's side. >> You still doing okay. All right. I'm I'm going to have EMS check you out regardless cuz I want to make sure you didn't have any like concussions or anything like that. So, I figured out where you're coming from. You're actually coming from that side. But then you hit that which is what caused them to hear that and then somehow the rollover happened and they end up over here. So, you're going to tell me your name. We're under arrest right now. What? We know that for the resistance cuz you're not providing me your name. All right.

You seem fine and all that stuff like that, but I just want to make sure you're not concussed. You You don't have different pupil sizes. There's no bruising underneath your eyes. That's a good sign. Okay. Um, I still have to check that out. Make sure you're good to go. >> Okay. >> If you want to shoot them away or whatever, that's fine. But I need their medical judgment to make sure you're good to go. And then I will proceed from there. Is there anything in that vehicle I got to be worried about? Well, it's getting towed, so I have to I have to inventory it. So, is there going to be anything in that vehicle I got to be worried about? No. I'll see if I can find your driver's license or anything like that. Okay. >> Is the vehicle registered to you? >> It is. Yes. >> It is. >> Okay. Like her panel's still over there. The door panel is still over there. Let's smack this. Oh, she is in the Air Force. >> Let her shoot. >> Yeah, she's in the Air Force. >> Yeah.

Do you understand? I need a verbal to know for each and every one of these. Um, anything you say can and will be easy to get you in a court of law. Do you understand? You have the right to talk to a lawyer and have him or her present with you while you're being questioned. Do you understand? Good. You can afford to hire a lawyer, want to be appointed to represent you before any questions if you wish. Do you understand? Right. You can decide anytime to exercise these rights, not answer any questions or make any statements. Do you understand each of these rights that I've explained to you? >> Yes. >> All right. I have these rights read to you. Do you wish to talk to me? No. Okay. So, um I understand you don't want to talk to me. >> There are some things I do need to know. Is your name Rosa? >> Let me know. >> Yes. >> Okay. Do you live in Florida? >> No. Yes. >> Did you just get out of the Air Force? >> I just joined the Air Force. >> Oh, you just joined. Like you're currently in the Air Force right now, right? Like you're actively in like you have a cat card and everything like like in in the Air Force. like you've been sworn in, you've taken an oath. Like you've already went through, I guess, the airman training and all that stuff like that, >> you have a CAT card, do you have a duty station yet? This is actually important stuff that I do need to know. >> Is it? >> Yes. Because if you're active duty right now and you're on leave, I have to let your chain of command know what has happened to you. Mhm. >> I was once in the military. If something hap Yeah. I'm a Marine. >> Okay. >> Right. If something happens to you, if you're on leave or if you're on a 72 or a 92, whatever extended time it is, your chain of command has to know what has happened to you. Are you in the Air Force active duty right now or are you reserved? >> What is it? >> What's >> How am I going to know you? You know you the best. >> Do I? >> Yes. So, are you active duty right now or no? This isn't going away. Okay, this isn't making anything anything easier. This isn't helping your case right now. Are you active duty? Yes or no? That's the logistical part. Seriously, if you're active duty right now, your chain of commands got to know like you're all right and like everything's okay. Cuz for example, you don't have a car right now. If you're stationed like let's say out in Texas, how are you going to get back to Texas? >> That's a good question. >> You know, how are you going to be okay and not marked as able? They have to be notified, >> right? >> You see what I'm saying? That's if you're active duty. If you're no longer active duty, which you told me you just joined, which means you're either on leave cuz I don't know of any air force bases besides McDill unless you're stationed out of McDill or it's out of state, right? Do you have any medical issues whatsoever? Like, do you have diabetes or epilepsy? >> I have to use the restroom. >> Okay, we'll get to that point. Do you have diabetes or epilepsy? >> Um, not that I know of. No. >> Neither of it? >> No. Do >> you have any weird allergies? >> Not that I'm aware of. >> Any like life-saving medication that you need by any chance? It's like a rescue inhaler or anything like that? >> Not that I'm aware of. No. >> Okay. So, you have like no medical issues that I have to be worried about. >> I have to use restroom. That's you have to be aware of. >> It's not the medical issue I'm talking about. I'll get you to a a restroom. I'm not worried about that. >> Okay. >> Okay. But no medical stuff, right? >> Any contacts or glasses? >> Um, I'm getting glasses soon. >> You're okay. So, but you're not prescribing right now or anything like that? Um, if I'm getting them soon, they're prescribed. Yes. >> Well, if you're wearing if you're getting glasses prescribed, are you wearing contacts now? >> No, not right now, but I'm getting them soon. >> You have a phone in there? If so, we'll try to find it. >> All right. >> The woman was arrested and charged with driving under the influence, causing property damage, and resisting an officer without violence. All charges are misdemeanor, but if convicted, she could face up to 3 years in jail, 3,000 in fines and probation.
