It's 4:00 a.m. in West Long Branch. An offduty officer has just trailed a Volkswagen for miles after watching it slam into a highway guard rail and keep driving.

It's going to we're going to be here for 20 to 30 minutes. All right. So you have been arrested for driving long talks to an NJS39450. The law requires you to submit samples of your breath for the purpose of testing to determine alcohol content. A record of the taking of your breath samples, including the test results, will be made upon your request. A copy of that record will be made available to you. After you have provided samples of your breath for testing, you have the right at your own expense to have a person or physician of your own selection take independent samples of your breath, blood, or urine for independent testing. If you refuse to provide samples of your breath, you will be issued a separate summon for the refusal. A court may find you guilty of both refusal and driving while intoxicated. If a court finds you guilty of refusal, you will be subject to various penalties, including license revocation of up to 20 years, a fine of up to $2,000, installation of ignition interlock, and referral to an intoxicated driving resource center. These penalties may be in addition to penalties imposed by the court for any other offense of which you are found guilty. You have no legal right to have an attorney, physician, or anyone else present for the purpose of taking the breath samples. You have no legal right to refuse to give or delay giving samples of your breath. Any response from you that is ambiguous or conditional in any respect to my request that you provide breath samples will be treated as refusal to submit the breath testing. Even if you agree to take the test, but then do not follow my instructions, do not properly perform a test, or do not provide sufficient breath samples, I will charge you with refusal to submit the breath testing. I repeat, the law requires you to submit samples of your breath for testing. Will you submit samples of your breath? You have a verbal besides a thumbs up. >> My dad would say no, but >> what do you say? >> Yes. >> Okay. The investigation confirmed the offduty officer's suspicions.

She's going to be down at Orient Road Jail.

Okay. >> Deal. >> Have a safe night. >> It's 3:00 a.m. in Tampa. Officer Bailey spots a ghost car driving without headlights and blocking a crosswalk. What starts as a standard traffic stop shifts gears the moment the driver admits she's coming from a bar. Watch closely as the officer investigates. Is this just a simple mistake or is the driver hiding a dangerous level of impairment? >> Driver, roll down your back window, please. That's good. Good evening. >> Officer Bailey, Tampa Police Department. >> Yeah. >> Ma'am, do you have any idea why I pulled you over? >> No, I do not. >> Are you aware your lights are turned off? >> I did not. >> Now they're on.

You stand right over there behind your car. I'll be with you in just a second. Is your license valid and everything? >> All right, Miss Sans. >> You stand over here for me. Face me. >> All right, Miss Sans, like I said, the reason I asked you to step out of the vehicle is based on some observations I made of your driving. Mhm. >> And while talking to you, I'm a little concerned about your sobriety. I want to make sure it's safe for you to be driving. All right. Now, do you suffer from any kind of medical problems I might need to be aware of? Are you a diabetic? No. >> Do you take insulin? Do >> you have seizures? High blood pressure? you taking medication for any reason? >> Not any do you have any problems with your eyes? >> Do you wear glasses or contacts? >> No, sir. >> Okay. Not blind any other eye or anything like that. >> Now, one of the things I'd like to do to help me determine your sobriety is to check your eyes. Is that okay? >> Yeah. >> All right. Can you move the hair out of your face for me? >> All right. You stand right where you're at. >> Sure. >> Sides of your feet touching. Hands all the way down at your side just like this. All right. Can you see the light I'm holding in front of your face? What color is it? >> Red. >> All right. Here's what I want you to I want you to look at that red light. >> Mhm. >> Follow the red light with your eyes only while keeping your head completely still. >> Okay? >> Do you understand? >> No. >> Don't move your head, only your eyes. Let's try that again. Good. Good. Remember, keep your head completely still. >> Sorry, I have it. All right, you can relax. All right, Miss Sans, listen. I'm seeing some medications in your eyes that's causing some concern. So, what I'd like to do is continue our investigation and ask that you perform some additional field sobriety exercises. That would consist of you walking a line and standing on one leg. Do you have any injuries or physical defects that would prevent you from being able to walk a line or stand on one leg? That's >> okay. Are you willing to do those exercises for me? >> I guess. >> Okay. Um, so we can use the roadway right here. Um, just stand right here behind your car. I'm going to put a piece of tape on the ground and I'll be with you in just a second. Okay. >> It's on a It's on a slant. >> Can you just uh pull up right next to me and we'll just use this lane. 12 unit to a 28 report that can be one, but I'm coming from. Would >> you keep your hands out of your pockets for me, Miss Sans? >> Thank you. Step right over here. Can you stand on that on the end of that piece of tape? Just hold it down for me with your foot. Go. All right, you can step off of it now. >> The infamous two drinks defense is about to be tested. The officer moves to the walk and turn. Pay attention. This isn't just a balance test. It's a listening test. Can she follow complex instructions while managing her body? If she starts too soon or misses a step, the investigation is essentially over. >> I'm not going to try to trick you or surprise you. It is important though that you follow my instructions exactly. So, if there's anything about these instructions that you don't understand, just make sure you ask questions when I give you the chance. >> Do you understand so far? >> Okay. Now, I know this sounds like a silly question, but I have to ask, do you know your right from your left? Show me your left hand. Okay, good. Here's what I want you to do right now. Okay. Go ahead and take your left foot, place it directly on the line at the beginning of the line. Now take your right foot and place it in front of your left foot, touching heel to toe. Next, put your hands all the way down at your side, touching your legs. Then stay in that position and don't do anything else until I tell you to. Do you understand so far? I need a yes or a no from you. Yes, sir. >> Okay. Now, when I tell you to, you're going to take nine heel totoe steps down the line. Turn around like I'm about to show you and then take nine heel totoe steps back. I'm going to demonstrate. It's going to look just like this. From the starting position, I want you to start walking with your back foot while looking down at your feet. Count each step out loud as you walk like this. 1 2 3 and so on until you get to nine. Once you get to nine, keep your front foot on the line. You're going to take your back foot off and use your back foot to take a series of steps around your front foot to turn around. Once you've turned around, take nine heel to toe steps back. Again, looking down at your feet and counting each step out loud as you walk like this. One, two, three, and so on until you get to nine. Make sure every step touches heel to toe. Keep your hands down at your side the entire time. Don't step off the line, and don't stop walking till you complete the entire exercise. Do you understand the instructions? >> I need a yes or a no from you. >> Yes, sir. >> Do you have any questions? >> All right, ma'am. If you don't have any questions and you think you understand, whenever you're ready, you may begin. All right, go ahead and relax. >> All right, stand right here on top of that light. Turn and face my car. All right, I want you to stand with your feet all the way together. Hands all the way down at your side touching your legs. Stay in that position. Don't do anything else until I tell you to. Do you understand so far? Now, when I tell you to, you're going to raise one foot, either foot of your choice about 6 in off the ground with your foot parallel to the ground. Now, 6 in is about that high. It's about the height of a soda can. I'm going to demonstrate for you. It's going to look just like this. Either foot of your choice about 6 in high. Notice how my foot is parallel with the ground. Both legs are straight. Hands all the way down at your side touching your legs. Then looking while looking down at your race foot, I want you to count out loud like this. 1,00 1,002 1,003 and so on until I tell you to stop. Don't raise your arms for balance. Don't hop. Don't sway. And don't put your foot down. Okay. >> Do you understand those instructions? >> Yes, sir. >> Do you have any questions about the instructions? >> Yes, sir. >> All right, ma'am. If you don't have any questions and you think you understand, whenever you're ready, you may begin. Keep your foot parallel to the ground. >> Make sure you're looking at your foot. 2013 2018 2016 2018 2019 >> Keep going. All right, you can stop.

Officer Reeves spots a black Nissan drifting across lanes on Route 130. What starts as a standard traffic stop quickly unravels when the officer spots open liquor bottles right next to the driver. Let's see how this unfolds. >> How you doing, ma'am? Officer Re, please give your license registration proof of insurance. >> Yes, my license. Hello luck. No, I have everything. Just give me a shel. >> Where you coming from tonight? >> Um, I was at Var. >> At what? >> Vera? >> What is that? >> The nightclub. >> All right. You had anything to drink tonight there? >> Um, yes, I did have one drink. >> You had one drink? >> Yeah. >> Did you have any uh screw ball or anything before you got there? >> Yeah, I did. >> You did? >> Yeah. >> Were you drinking while you're driving? No, I'm not drinking while I'm driving now. >> Where were you earlier? >> I was at Vera like I just said. >> Hey, can you hop out from your >> Sure. >> Now you worry cuz I don't know where the There you go. You can just leave your purse in the car. We're not going to worry about it a second. >> Just do me a favor. Stand right behind your car. Okay. Um, so so the reason I stopped you, I was driving about a mile there. You were driving over the white solid line. You were in the right lane. Driving over the right solid line a couple times there. Okay. Um, you're slurring your words a bit. I can smell a little bit of alcohol coming off you. You have a fireball shooter in your center console and you have a fireball mostly empty open on your floorboard in your passenger seat. >> Yeah. >> How much did you drink tonight? How much did you drink tonight? >> Before I went to Vera. Yes, I did have the fireball before I went to Vera, but other than that, >> how much did you have a Vera? >> Um, I've had probably like a shot when I got to Vera, but that was about it.

Wait, wait, where did you stay at? >> Right there in Delan. >> We're at Delan. >> So, why are you driving this way then? >> Um, because I was going to be a little frisky and see my little boo, but then I was thinking maybe not. >> Okay. >> You have a problem with your eyes? I have contact. >> What I want you to do is just keep your hand still. Okay. What I'm going to do is I'm going to move the pen from side to side. Okay. I want you to follow the pen without moving your hand. Okay. >> Notice the conflict here. She claims just one shot, but the open fireball shooters, slurred speech, and erratic driving tell a different story. Officer Reeves has enough suspicion now to conduct field sobriety tests to confirm impairment. If you were the officer, would you believe her timeline? second [ __ ] Heat. Heat. Okay. Um, I'm going to run you through two more tests. Okay. Just like I said, I just want to make sure everything's good. Do you have any issues with your balance that would impede you from taking a couple tests for me? >> No. >> No. >> I mean, >> no. Okay. >> I just have I wear contacts, so >> Oh, it's going to be for your legs. Anything issues with your balance or anything that will keep you standing up upright? >> No. >> No. Okay. >> Yeah. So, you do me a favor. You stand around this line right here. >> Yeah. What you're going to do is you're going to put your right foot in front of your left in the heel toe position just like this. Okay. You're going to hold that. Okay, put your put your left foot on the line and put your Okay, put your right foot right there and hold that position until I tell you. Now, keep your hands to your side. Keep your hands to your side. Okay, I'm going to demonstrate the test for you. Okay, you're going to take a series of nine steps in the heel toe position just like this. One, two, three. I did three. You're going to do nine. Okay. Once you get to the ninth step, you're going to pop your back foot out, do a series of small steps, and get back in the starting position, the heel toe position. Okay? Once you get back into position, you're going to do a series of nine steps back. Counting out loud. One, two, three. Once again, I did three. You're going to do nine. Okay. Do you understand my instructions? >> Yeah. >> Okay. You maybe get it. >> Yep. took my [ __ ] Took my [ __ ] >> Remember heel toe. You got to do heel to toe. Heel toe. >> You not none of them you touched with line back. 10. Okay. Uh we got one more test uh with either of your legs. Whichever leg you feel more comfortable with. Okay. You're going to stand with your hands to your side, feet just like this. When I tell you to begin, you're going to begin. You're going to lift whatever foot you prefer up six inches off the ground, parallel to the ground, just like this. Okay. You're going to count out loud. 1 100 1 2 100 3 100 4 100 5 100 6 100 7 100 8 100 9 100 until I tell you to stop. Okay.

You're under arrest for driving while intoxicate. >> After failing the walk and turn and putting her foot down repeatedly on the one leg stand, [music] the probable cause is solid. Officer Reeves moves immediately to arrest. In New Jersey, this triggers J's law, mandating her vehicle be impounded for 12 hours. No exceptions. >> No. Step back to my car. >> How do I get back? >> All right. So, basically what's going to happen is we'll go back to the station. Okay. Um, we'll read you your rights.

Um, and then you call someone to come pick you up. >> Well, what about my car? >> Your car gets towed for 12 hours for impound. Okay. >> I have to pay for that, too. >> Yeah. So, basically, let me explain to you. So, whenever there's a DUI, whenever you get arrested for DUI, okay, there's a law we have. It's called John's law. So basically what that means is there wasn't someone in the past that got released from a while and driving while intoxicated. They got in their car, hit someone, killed them. Okay? So it's a countrywide rule that we have to follow. >> And I get that, but I would never >> I I know some people everyone says that it's for our safal cuz I'm a mom and I would never I know. I trust me. >> My dad is in jail right now for that dumb [ __ ] >> Okay. Never mind. I'm not going to say that. >> Yeah. That really >> Do me a favor. Can you open your or spread your legs for me real quick? You said you have nothing on you, right? Absolutely. Okay. I'm just going to use the back side of my hand to trick your pants. I'm sorry. >> So, you said you didn't know where your purse was. >> My purse is in my car. >> Or not your purse. Your wallet. >> My wallet is in my car. >> Is your ID now? >> From my registration. >> We're not going to give her about the registration. >> It was It's the fact about the registration.

Do you understand that? >> Mhm. You have the right to talk to a lawyer and have him or her present with you while you are being questioned. Do you understand that? >> What's that? >> Yes. >> If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer, one will be appointed at no cost to represent you before any questioning if you wish to wish one. Do you understand that? What was it? If you agree to talk to us, the decision to weigh these rights is not final and you may withdraw your waiver whenever you wish, either before or during questioning. Do you understand that? >> If you Okay. Yeah. If if you agree to talk to us, a decision to wave these rights is not final and you may withdraw your waiver whenever you wish, either before or during questioning. Do you understand that? >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Okay. Can you spell your first name for me? >> A L E X I S. Last name >> N E W B E R R Y. >> Was it Barry? B E R R Y. >> Okay. Yeah. B E R Y. >> All right. Now, like I said, we'll try to get back to the station ASAP. >> So, my child, >> you're not going to jail. >> Well, >> so state New Jersey uh driving while under the influence is just traffic tickets. Okay. Just traffic tickets. All it is. Okay. So, basically what we're going to do is like I said, we're going to once we get done here, okay, your vehicle is going to get towed. >> Okay. >> Yeah, but I've got to pay for that. >> I I know, but it's something I don't have. >> I I have zero discretion with that. We have to Okay. It's a law we have to follow. Um myself and you are going to head back to the station. Another officer, you're going to >> sit by for 20 minutes. >> Okay. 20 minutes. We have to do a 20-minute observation. We're going to buy two breath samples and then you get out of here. You're not going to jail. You're going to get issued a couple tickets tonight and that's it. That's going to have to drive me and my car back. >> Your car is getting towed. >> I'm a college student. Yeah, but is someone going to drive my car back? >> If you can't get a ride home, we'll get you a ride home. >> I don't have a ride home. >> Okay. So, if we have to, we'll try. >> I don't think I mean I don't remember his phone number by heart. Unless I want to take my phone. >> We're take Yeah, we're going to take your purse, your phone. Everything's gone with us. It's not staying in the car. >> If that's my the white purse, that's my purse. >> Your little wallet fell on the floor. I picked that up. That has your license and all. >> Yeah, I was wondering where that went. >> Yeah, I got that. I mean, I I have the car key to stay with the car, but the rest of the key is I put in your car first. >> Yeah, that's fine. >> Okay. >> Yeah, that's fine. >> All right, Alexis. All right. I'm going to ask you once again. How much did you drink tonight? Just be honest. >> I literally had one or two or one or two drinks. >> Drinks. What were the drinks? >> I I can't tell you. It was whiskey. That was literally it. >> Like shots or like mixed drinks? >> No, it was shots. >> Shots. Okay. >> Yeah. >> And how many uh shots of fireball or not fireball? screw ball did you have? >> Just before I went there, which was about before 8:00 p.m. >> Okay. So, you got there at 8:00 p.m. You had a couple shots. >> Yeah. >> What time did you get there? >> Uh, I don't know. I would have >> I think I left. It depends on when he texted me cuz when he texted me and told me I have this whole thing with my baby dad. He texted me, told me he was going to be home. I'm always with the kids. So, I was like, I'm going out. >> So, you don't know what time you got there at? >> So, yeah. Yeah, it was probably like 8:30, maybe 8:40. I don't know. It really depends on my text. >> What time did you leave? >> It really depends on my text message. She just >> Okay. So, what time you left? >> Yeah, because I know when I texted him, I told him that I wasn't home. That was probably like 10 20 minutes before I left. >> Okay.

Like one more minute and the cuffs are going to come off. Do me a favor. Just face that wall. Fix in a second down here. Make a right. That sign says stop. Quicker we get in the bench, the quicker you get the cuffs off here. All right, >> take a left here. Turn around. Walk right here. Turn around. Stand up. It's easier. I know. I know. It's going to be uncomfortable for a second. One second. Cuff your right hand on top of your head for me. Thank you. If you do me a favor, can you step over here? I just got to take two sets of pictures or one set of pictures for uh or in house. It's only in house. It doesn't go anywhere else. Huh? No, it doesn't go post anywhere.

It's just basically stating that you're taking custody of her for the next 12 hours, um, if she gets in a vehicle, if she does anything like that, gets in a car and drives away and gets pulled over again or gets arrested, it's on you as well. Okay? So, if you want to give this real quick read, it's up to you. And some people do, some people don't. Um, if you acknowledge it, you're just going to print your name.
