It's 1:22 a.m. in Tampa. Officer Barlo spots a white Sonata blowing a stop sign and clipping a curb. The driver claims she was just texting, but the officer spots signs of impairment immediately. Let's see if her one drink story holds up against the field sobriety tests. >> All right. You have your driver's license with you today? any reason why you just completely blew that uh stop sign back here when you made the right turn? >> I'm so sorry. I have no idea. I was texting a friend that I'm meeting right here right now. >> Okay. And I was trying to get your attention.

Okay. >> Let me see what you got. I don't need that one. That's an old one. >> All right, Sandy. So, what I'm going to have you do is I'm going to have you step back here for just a moment, okay? >> And when you open your door, just be careful don't hit it on the wall or anything like that. I don't want you to damage your car. What's that? >> Yeah, I know. All right, come back over here for me. All right, have you stand right now? All right, so here's the deal. I'm a little concerned about your sobriety tonight. So, I'm going to ask you to do some field sobriety exercises to help me to determine whether or not you're driving out of the airport. Sure. >> You going to move on to do these field sobriety exercises? >> Sure. Let me >> I'm sorry. >> No, we're we're not making any phone calls. Okay. So, I I just said when I made the phone call, so put the phone away. Okay. >> I do apologize. >> Okay. All right. So, as far as the field exercise, you're going to be willing to do these? >> Yeah. Let me just >> Okay. We're not making We're not making phone calls. Okay. So, just go ahead and put your phone away. All right. Before you drop it again. All right. Any issues with your eyes? >> No. >> And you can see out of both eyes. You're not legally blind? >> No. Not at all. >> Okay. All right. No medical conditions? >> No. >> Okay. All right. All I'm going to have you do is just put your feet together for me. >> Stay together. >> Okay. Just have you keep your feet together for me. Keep your just like this. Keep your arm straight down to your side. Look straight ahead. You're not wearing contacts, right? All right. This red light, just follow this with your eyes. Your eyes only. Don't move your head. Okay. Do you understand? >> You understand? >> Mhm. Still 68134 Temple. Heat. Heat. Okay. All right. Are you taking any medications of any kind? >> No, not at all. >> I'm sorry. >> No. >> Okay.

I have a little bit of hypothermia, but not nothing that >> Okay. You taking any medications for it or just deal with it? >> Just deal with it. >> Okay. All right. Um, now for this, what we're going to do is we're going to be walking a straight line, standing on one foot. I'm going to give you the opportunity to take your shoes off. It's up to you. >> Yes, please. >> Um, if you want to use the bumper of your car and and you can take those shoes off. What's that? Ma'am, just wait. Just wait over there for me.

And just have you stand right here for me. All right. The reason we're over here is so that we have a nice flat surface. Okay. All right. Just stand right here for me. >> Stand inside that light and then turn back around. Face me this way. All right. So, we're going to put a some tape on the ground so we'll have a line to use. Okay, since there's not one here. So, all I'm going to have you do is just grab a hold of this. Don't do anything. >> Sandy removes her heels. A smart choice, but watch closely. This walk and turn is a divided attention test. She has to process the officer's instructions while maintaining physical balance. Starting too soon or missing heel totoe steps are key indicators of impairment here. >> I'm going to demonstrate those instructions for you. So, it's important you pay attention. Okay. >> All right. So, what we're going to do is we're going to use this blue tape we just put on the ground. I'm going to have you go ahead and place your left foot on this blue tape. Okay. All right. Go ahead and step backward just a little bit. Okay. Go ahead and put your put your left foot where your right foot are at now. Okay. Put your right foot in front of your left foot. >> All right. >> Stay just like that. All right. Keep your right make sure that the heel of your right foot is touching the toe of your left foot. Remain in that position. Go ahead and take your hands out your pockets. Drop them straight down to your side. Remain in that position. Remain in that position. Don't do anything until I tell you. Okay? >> You understand? When I tell you to begin, you're going to take nine heel to toe steps on this blue tape. When you reach nine, you're going to turn around and take nine heel totoe steps back on the blue tape. As you do this, keep your arms to your sides at all times. Look down at your feet and count out loud your steps. Now, it's going to look just like this. It's going to go 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. When you reach nine and turn Nope. When you reach nine and turn around, you're going to turn around by leaving your front foot on the line. Do not pick it up. Use your back foot. Take a series of small steps around your front foot like so. Once you've turned around, you'll take your nine heel totoe steps back. Again, counting out loud each of your steps. >> Once you begin, do not stop at any point until you complete the exercise. Okay? >> Okay. Remember to keep your arms to your side and look down at your feet as you do this. You >> understand? Do you have any questions? >> No. That's super cool right now. >> All right. You can begin anytime you're ready. Okay, I'm going to have you stand right here for me and I have you face me. All right, what you're going to do is put your feet together for me, just like this. Keep your arms to your side. Remain in this position. Don't do anything until I tell you. When I tell you to, you're going to raise one foot. Your choice. Raise that foot in front of you so the heels at least six inches off the ground. That's about the size of a soda can. All right. So, it's going to look just like this. Keep both legs straight. Keep your feet foot parallel to the ground. Keep your arms to your sides at all times. Look down at your raised foot. And you're going to count out loud. 1 10 1 2 1 100 3 1 4 1 100 And just keep going until I tell you to stop. If you put your foot down before I tell you to, you're just simply going to pick your foot back up. Continue to count from the number that you left off. I don't want you to put it down, but if you do, just pick it back up and keep going. Okay? But don't start yet. Do you understand? >> Yes. 1002 1034. >> Right. Just keep going till I tell you to stop. All right. Any other questions? >> No. >> You understand the instructions? >> Yes, I do. >> Okay. All right. You can begin anytime you're ready. >> Ready? >> Whenever you're ready, we'll start. >> 100400 34 1056 >> Remember, look at your foot, not me. >> What? Huh? Look down at your foot. Not me. >> 1007 108 109 1 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 >> Okay, you want to stop? Okay. All right. I'm going have you come up this way for me. Right over here. Actually, if you want to go grab your shoes and go ahead and put your shoes back on. >> Those are some big shoes. >> Yes. [snorts] >> All right. Come back over here for me. Okay. All right. All right. So, I'm going to have you stand right here for me. Have you face towards my car? Turn around. Face that way. All right. Take your hands out your pockets. Drop them down to your side. Okay. There you go. All right. Ma'am, at this time, you are going to be placing arrest for driving with me alcohol tonight. >> Yes, ma'am. >> I have only have one brain. >> Okay. Well, at this point, based off my investigation, I do believe that you're impaired. All right. Based off all the investigation, you did exhibit signs and clones of impairment. >> I only have one brain. Okay. All right. Will you be given the opportunity, Ma'am, just stay over there, please? All right. You'll be given the opportunity to provide a breath test tonight. Okay. So, what we're going to do is I'm going transport you from here to the jail. I'm going ask that you submit to a law of your breath for the purpose of doing alcohol content. You just submit to a breath test tonight. Okay. All right. Understand there are some consequences for refusing to the breath test. Those consequences are the suspension of your driver's license for a period of one year for a first refusal, 18 months if you have a prior refusal, as well as if you do have a prior refusal and you refuse again, you could be charged with another misdemeanor offense. Okay? I'll explain all that to you a little bit greater detail when we get there and give you the opportunity to think about it. Okay? All right. So, I'm going have you come around the back side over here for me. >> All right. Go have a seat for me. Just be careful. Don't hit your head getting in. Okay. >> But I've only had one drink, sir. I don't really drink. I've never been in in this sort of >> Well, that'll, like I said, you'll be given the opportunity to provide a breath test. All right. So, um, that's up to you. And like I said, we'll discuss that when we get there. Um, nothing in your mouth right now. No gum or candy or anything like that? >> No. >> Okay. All right. Watch your watch your knee for me. Okay. Okay. Um, >> were you the friend that she was following or was meeting? >> Okay. >> I'm just a little confused. She only had one drink, so I'm like I'm really confused. >> Well, based on what I saw, there's a little bit more going on. Okay. >> Was it the heels? Maybe. >> No, she took them off so she didn't >> Okay. Okay. >> Okay. >> No, she was definitely in a hurry to get here to meet you cuz she just totally blew the stop sign down there. >> She literally No, literally I I I texted her like as you did that. So, >> okay. >> You were like, "Uhoh." >> Yeah. >> So, >> for sure DUI like you conducted everything. >> Uh, we did. All right, we're going to step on out and we're just going to go right out that door right up there. I've had only one drink. This is insane. It's never been in any kind of problem. I'm 32 years old. Sandy failed the tests and was arrested for DUI. Later at the jail, she refused the breath test, triggering an automatic license suspension. Was the arrest justified based on what you saw?
