or will it not messing up a roll I have no idea what what the terms of your parole are please traffic doesn't necessarily violate your parole but I don't like I said I don't know about the terms of your parole so most mostly time with parole we just have to report felonies um but it'll say in your paperwork if it needs to be reported to your parole officer but most of the time it's just felonies in my experience I can't say for sure but you smell any okay there was a are you gonna search the vehicle no because I'm not Towing it you can search incident to arrest even after the fact when he's already I saw a pill container in the glove box yeah I couldn't tell what was in it okay a couple pill containers in there whose are they that's ours okay they actually have her name on it all right I'm gonna take a look okay nothing of evidentiary value was found during the search of the vehicle the suspect was arrested for driving with a suspended license and transported to the Mundelein Police Department on Route the officer noted that the odor of alcohol became much stronger on the suspect as he was being transported in his cruiser with the windows closed upon arrival the suspect was taken to the DUI processing room for further evaluation all right oh look at those handcuffs off here all right let me ask you another question man how much you had a drink today one beer yeah okay how long ago an hour ago okay the reason I ask if I can smell especially when you got the car I could smell it pretty strong come on for me um I want to do a couple tests okay just to check you out um you take

medication today on any drugs no um any recent head injuries or anything no okay do me a favor stand over here against the wall all right so um put your feet together just like this arms down your sides you see my finger right here all you're going to do is follow my finger with your eyes your eyes only You're Gonna Keep Your Head still just move your eyes with my finger okay just keep doing that until I tell you to stop the tuna plate the animal 2-0 9838 and just to confirm it was 150 really um just trying to figure out how long yeah it's I'm almost done I'm almost done you're doing it I don't want to look too I don't want to turn you said don't turn your head right yeah just keep your head straight just your eyes yeah okay um any physical problems nothing knees ankles balance nothing okay um do me a favor stand right here at this tape put your left foot on that tape and then put your right foot in front of your left foot touching Heel To Toe keep your arms down on your sides okay I want you to stay in this position while I explain the test there's a walk and turn test so when I tell you to begin you're going to take nine Heel To Toe steps down this line when you get to that ninth step you're going to keep your front foot planted you're going to take a series of small steps turn 180 degrees and take nine Heel To Toe steps back You're Gonna Keep Your Arms down to your sides you're going to look at your feet you're going to count each step out loud okay I'm going to demonstrate it so you know what it looks like so you got your right foot in front of your left Heel To Toe it's gonna look like one two three four five six seven eight nine you keep that front foot planted series of small steps 180 degrees nine back one two three four five six seven eight nine okay um make sure you touch Heel To Toe uh stay on this line arms down on your sides look at this foot look at your feet and counties okay you understand the test yes okay very good yeah just keep going this is unbearable balance I really am okay one to two three four five six seven eight nine you said how many all the way to the end no nine around do nine more right two three four five six seven ready wow okay and then you don't need to do the extra ones oh so the next test I'm gonna ask you to do is a one leg stand so when I tell you to begin you're going to raise either foot six to eight inches off the ground and keep your arms down on your sides you're gonna look at that raised foot you're gonna count out loud one thousand one one thousand two one thousand three until I tell you to stop okay once you stand right on that line with your toes on the line yeah so either foot whichever one you want six to eight inches off the ground just like this legs legs straight arms down to your

blowing up a balloon okay all right see it's at zeros right now so I wanna feel your breath on the other side okay beautiful you're way high man yeah [Applause] you know the legal limit is yeah you have no idea I've never got pulled over well that's more than one beer yeah one one six it was uh for a local what is it a four local was that um between like a beer and a okay you're at a 116. okay the legal limit is 0.08 so your DUI but I mean honestly like I said I'm not a bad guy I don't get into a lot of trouble with it if you can actually look out for me as much as you can all right well here's the deal man that that changes stuff a little bit okay because your DUI and your driving while suspended okay I promise you I'm really trying to change my life around I understand I still make bad decisions and it doesn't it doesn't seem like it based off of today okay I'm not trying to knock you in any way but there's a lot of stuff here right now uh go have a seat for me um you're gonna be charged with DUI okay yeah because your DUI you're you're way over the legal limit uh dispatch can you have a total respondent bills please uh we gotta tow the car insurance I know but this changes things like I said this changes okay I know what your DUI okay she's getting the car I won't drive but no more drunk I promise but there's laws that go with DUI there's there's Illinois law that goes with DUI okay tell me I haven't abide into everything that you needed me to advise I promise you so I'm not I'm not a bad apple I'm not trying to I know and I'm not saying you are but I'm trying to turn my life around this is not going to happen right now there's nothing I could really I don't know what I can say to to make yeah uh let's give let's give your girlfriend a call tell her not to go there or she's gonna come here first to get the car sorry because I have to go to work I just got out what time do you start work I'll start at one o'clock in the morning sir we don't have the money we're fine we're financially unstable she just lost her job she just got a job back she won't get a check until next Friday sir pretty please please okay I'm asking from the bottom of my heart you can do whatever you need to do with me can you leave the car for her she needs the car okay I'm listen listen when you get arrested for DUI there's there's listen there's law that comes with DUI that says the car has to get towed and it gets put on a hold the reason the reason for that but listen the reason for that is because they don't want somebody to get released and go drive the car again I know I know you're saying you're not going to do that but that there's a law that says you have to do that okay this is really gonna [ __ ] us up like we will be homeless after this if we can't take care of what we need to take care of I have a job she just got her job back this is the only car that we have we we're barely hanging on to anything we can't pay bills we're trying to pay our rent I'm going to donate plasma just so we can make ends meet yeah I'm really trying sir I understand that you have a job to do and I I know that there's probably slim to none chance that I can talk you out of whatever it is that you have to do as a police officer but I'm I promise you up to no good I'm not intentionally doing anything to incriminate myself or incriminate us as a couple because I'm trying to do good for both of us I understand that I was drinking [Applause] when I was drinking I didn't know that I needed to do other things throughout the day because this is my off day my off days are Wednesdays and Thursdays I had no food I was gonna have to drive but something came up dramatically we have to pay bills I had to go donate plasma just so we can make ends meet so I mean I'm begging you sir and listen so when it came to the suspended and I was trying to work with you really hard but when it comes to the DUI that like I said there's certain laws with the DUI I understand look my grandmother was a police officer she was a police officer 40 years I know the law sir I understand it almost down to the team I know that I was in the wrong I promise you that I there's no there's nothing else that I can do to unjust like show you that I understand that I was not 2011 it's gonna be 55. the suspect Justin later submitted to a breath alcohol test um yeah like like the warning says that if you if you blow over a point zero eight your license is suspended for six months if you say no I'm not doing it all it's a 12 month suspension because that's a penalty for refusing um so in the last 20 minutes if you ingested a alcohol food drink regurgitated vitamins smoke or chewed gum you know it's up to you if you want to do this or not if you do I'm going to hold it you got to blow into this drop pretty hard you're going to see a little lever you got to keep it up hang on a second tell anyone if you want to Walmart you got a little harder if you don't want to you can push hard for refuse yeah blow hard though the results yielded 0.089 breath alcohol content in court the defendant was charged with driving on a suspended license speeding 26 to 34 miles per hour over the speed limit driving Under the Influence with a breath alcohol content of 0.08 or more and driving Under the Influence or DUI the first charge in former DUI charge was disposed as NOAA prosequay this means that the prosecution chose to no longer pursue the case Justin pled guilty to both the speeding offense and the latter DUI charge during sentencing on November 20th 2020 judgment was withheld on

have the right job but you have please can you try to at least understand that I'm really in a bind here I'm really trying to get my life together I made a couple bad decisions yes and I apologize for it I'm gonna apologize for the fact that I had to involve you into my mood and you don't have to apologize to me this is nothing personal like I told you on the street man this is me it kind of is because of my life I know but it's not what I'm saying it's nothing personal on my end this is the job that we have to do okay if you want me to um [Applause] first or she's going to get a car first all right Stacy please get her closer in case you please get her car can you not negative they're for the um registered owner um here come on over here let's give her a call real quick let's just let her know what's going on um you got to use this phone over it has to get told man I told you when it comes we can't afford this right now we really can't so can we like figure this out to the point where we can at least make it to where it doesn't hurt or affect her this is her car I know she just got her job back she doesn't get paid until next Friday I work in Chicago and live in in Waukegan sir I won't be able to get to and from work at least she can drop me off you feel me I'm not trying to you know get over on you I'm not trying to get over on the system or anything I literally this is I donate plasma I'm trying to like do better for everybody including myself I'm not trying to you know make it sound good to where I like I'm just helping other people can you please help me out I can't I honestly can't when it came to the suspended driver's license I could and that's what I was doing but like I said when it comes to DUI which is your DUI there's there's certain rules that come with DUI and one of them is a car has to get towed because you didn't have to call it in though what do you mean I didn't have to call him from man to man I mean I'm trying to bleed you my case what are you asking me to do just totally uh look away from a DUI I I can't do that man that's part of my job here let's give her a call real quick okay so she doesn't uh go there we can't deal with it you're you're really putting us out of a home right now Ren is about to be do we need bills to be paid she needs that call we need that car sir we need that car okay what happened when you were arrested uh last time for a driver you had to pay for it we had to pay for the car to get out and we were lucky to have the money for that we don't have it right now okay I'm really trying this is why I'm going to donate and listen like I said I'm not trying to knock you in any way but why would you put yourself in that position again it's not that I had to I had to like I said I drank I didn't know that we needed to pay bills I had to put myself in a position and to get the money to pay for the bills that we need to pay that's why I was going to donate plasma that's the only reason why I wouldn't have went anywhere today I promise I wouldn't have drove if I if I drink I'm not a drinking and drink this is why this is my first time I'm 29 years old why do you think I never got caught drinking and driving because it's not my thing but this is something that I needed to do because we need to move forward in our life and I'm trying to make myself a better person I really am why did you ever drive you what is she driving because she was drinking more than I was okay so then how was she gonna come pick up the car right now because that was earlier I didn't I don't trust him because she's a female she can't handle liquor the way that I can handle it all right well let's give her a call before she goes over there looking for the car okay we got to give her a call over on this phone over here listen man I know I know it's frustrating trust me I do and it sucks and I honestly wish there was some other way around that but like I said when it comes to the DUI there's nothing I can do for that so why don't we go over here and give her a call on this phone okay do you need you know her number by heart or no is this is it gonna still be the same situation I'm not going to be locked up longer than what I was going to be today no you're gonna be getting out of here today I don't know what your what what's with your parole I don't know that's another thing like I just got through doing time after the joints there's no way that you guys can like look at this as like okay maybe this guy's me along this lesson I'm not trying to all right let's give her a call real quick um you gotta hit oh my God you gotta hit eight first get code if you need to look up her number on your phone you can go ahead and do that okay [Applause] um it's gonna be the same as when you're suspended okay so how much does it cost you last time where did you get arrested for last time this first suspended where was that arrested win pretty much gonna lose a car right now I can't we can't afford this we neither one of us get paid until the week after next Justin what are you asking me to do man I've been trying to work with you but things have changed I can't we can't afford this I'm really trying I'm really trying like I'm I'm back into a wall right now I'm not out here being Reckless and doing intentionally to get in trouble I'm really trying to turn my life over I'm not trying to stop you from doing your job um I understand that you have the job that you have to do but at the same time I'm really trying to turn my life around have a seat yes uh what is the model all
