Before the crash happened, called 911 and said she was driving recklessly and going to kill somebody. And then boom, an accident happened. So I'm obviously led to believe that she caused it. >> I'm going I'm going to jail, mama. I'm going to jail. I'm going to jail, mama. >> Put your hands behind your back. >> to jail, mama. I'm going to jail. I'm going to Mama, call me, mama. I don't even know. They won't even tell me, mama. >> You don't know that she's driving under the influence, reckless driving? >> I'm not even Y'all ain't even Mama, they said I'm I'm not even Ain't nothing even wrong >> On March 31st, 2025, officers in Georgia responded to a multi-vehicle collision after callers warned that a driver was about to hurt someone. The driver denied fault, and officers suspected impairment from inhaled toxic vapors. >> Multiple people right before this accident called 911 to say that you were going to kill somebody on the road. >> I don't know how Look how you ran the off She She We don't even know her. We just ran to help her. >> We said she was in the accident. >> Yeah, it's bad looking on the other side. >> And her back is hurting. >> Where's the other vehicle? >> Huh? Um I I don't I don't I think it was a >> They The other The rest of them are over there. >> They over there. >> But she they hit her. They hit her, and her car flew way over here. >> a three-accident car. Yeah, her car flew way over here. >> What's going on? >> Her back is hurting. >> What's that? >> I said this is my mama. I'm just letting her People are trying to catch the light. >> Okay. >> It threw her all the way over here. >> All right. Why Why do I have multiple people calling 911 about your driving? >> Huh? >> Multiple people right before this accident called 911 to say that you were going to kill somebody on the road because of your driving. Multiple people. >> I don't know about that. I just >> Yeah, I don't know about that, either. >> see your driver's license. Why are you >> Let me see your driver's license, please. Because because a lot of people just called 911 saying your driving was going to kill somebody, and now you've been involved in a major car accident. I need to see your driver's license right now. >> These people just say what >> I need to see your driver's license right now. >> I don't have a driver's license but I can give you my information cuz the last police took my ID. I don't know why. >> Why would the police officer take your ID last time? >> I don't know. >> What's your first name? >> I got that.

So like you can't put up on me like I just did something wrong. >> Yeah, cuz cuz multiple people called 911 saying you were going to hit somebody. March 28th, what year? March 28th, what year, please? >> 98 >> All right, thank you. Why are you smacking yourself? >> He not listening to me at all and I'm I'm in pain.

I'm Officer Sand. >> Can we get somebody else cuz I'm not about to do >> No, that's that's not happening right now. First name? Last name is Rittenberry. It's 03/28/98. I'm not I'm not getting away with anything. I'm asking why you're smacking yourself in the side of the head. >> These people are just saying it. This man just told me off. >> Yes, but why did people call 911 and say you were driving a reckless vehicle? >> Yes, they did. I've been keeping straight the whole time. I'm about to turn. >> Okay. How are you injured? They sure did. >> She don't have a tag. >> Yes, she does. She has a temp tag. >> He said >> And they gave the exact temp tag. >> Like what? >> Um what are your injuries? >> My back hurt. Everything is sore on me right now. I'm peeing. All my clothes is wet. I'm peeing. That was out of shock. I hit my head on this thing. >> Uh why do you keep smacking your head? That's what I'm asking. >> Cuz my hair itch. This is a wig. You worried about all the wrong [ __ ] >> Ma'am, I'm responding to a car accident. I'm asking why you keep smacking yourself in the side of the head. Okay. I was asking why you got called in as a reckless driver. No, that's not true. All right. Can you stop interfering? Uh if y'all need to medically evaluate her, feel free. Go ahead. 36426 double 28 556479518 Hey, did you see anything else? >> Um I was sitting in my car. I just heard it. >> Okay. Did y'all actually see the collision occur? >> Yeah, we was just sitting >> Uh can you can you just tell me what you saw? >> Okay. Me and her was talking because um my car was declined. And she said, "Hey, hey, I'll pay for your stuff." >> And you all were here at Avis. >> Right here. And then I said, "Thank you." And I was giving her my number cuz she's looking for apartment. And um >> Yeah. So, then we go woo. And it They hit us so hard it threw us over here. >> Okay. >> It blew up right here. >> Was she making a turn or going straight, do you know? >> She was No, she was going straight. >> Okay. >> She was going straight. >> And where was the other vehicle coming from? >> It came from right here. >> The same way. >> So, they were both going straight. Okay. >> Yeah, they were >> Y'all, I'm just trying to figure out cuz I'm not trying to be bad to her, but multiple people right before the accident >> her. I just know her. >> No, I know. I I know. I'm just letting y'all know. But multiple people right before the crash happened called 911 and said she was driving recklessly and going to kill somebody. And then boom, an accident happened. So, I'm obviously led to believe that she caused it. Uh it looks like she just smashed into somebody. And then she's called in as a reckless driver. Um I haven't checked the other vehicles there over there. I haven't even spoke to them. I don't know if signal one or 1096 yet. She's literally been there the entire time just smacking the side of her face. And I asked her why she's smacking her face and she's asking for my name badge number calling me a shitty officer or anything. That and the other. So, I haven't made too much of a dent in progress yet. >> All right. Well, I'll go talk to them. >> Okay. >> What happened? >> Um Previous to this light, she she was just kind of swerving down the road. >> Yeah. >> We stopped at that light up there. I told my wife I I said, "I don't think that girl is conscious. Like something's wrong with her." >> Mhm. >> And as we started down the hill here, she >> Like right about here? >> Yeah, just I mean immediately after the light, like she stalled, like didn't go with everybody else. And then as she started to go, she wandered >> way over into the lane, out of the lane, and then she wandered into our lane, and she never She was like half lane all the way down, and then it we were stopping at the red light, the cars were and she didn't even slow down. She came into our thing and just kaboom, and then just went shooting into the >> Okay. Okay, well, thank you. You need 2065? Um, are you able to tell me what happened with the car collision? Can you tell me what happened with the accident? All right. So, I'm just trying to figure out cuz the the truck over there, they got hit, and the damage on your vehicle is from you hitting them. Cuz they're How were they Yeah, but but but look at look at the back of that truck. That that truck has been hit. And then they I I I'm just trying to figure out cuz the damage on your vehicle's in the front of your vehicle. But the damage on their vehicle's in the back, and yours is in the front, and you're both driving the same way. How would they hit you if they were in front of you? >> I don't even, I don't even know where they were. >> And they they were in front of you. That's what >> tell you anything. I'm telling you >> I I haven't talked to them. They haven't told me anything, but but just looking at the back of their truck, you rear-ended them. >> This man just hit me and threw me way over here. I don't know these people. Just because we all black girls don't mean nothing. I don't know these people. >> I I wasn't saying you know them. Right. Okay. No, I'm just saying that vehicle has rear end damage. Okay. Okay. Okay, that's not how this works. That's not how this works. Okay. >> Hello. >> Bye. Right. All right, so so what happened? Like tell me your side of the story. That's what I'm trying to figure out. Okay, is there damage to the inside of your car at all? Did it intrude? Okay. Got you. Got >> you. >> I don't I don't remember nothing but just being thrown over here. >> Okay. >> How did I hit him if we're both people straight? >> Well, he's got rear end damage. You got front end damage. >> Somebody had to be turning and it wasn't me. I have no reason to turn over here. So, how did I end up over here? >> Yeah. 5961 is your car? >> Is she going to want to rest? >> And I almost flipped. >> Exactly. I almost flipped. This man just told me to [ __ ] off. >> Yeah, they need to have some big ass truck. >> It's not a truck. >> They hit her pretty hard. >> I don't been in a car wreck before, so >> He wasn't in the fault. >> They wasn't in the fault. So, who was in the back and all? >> Reason why she Reason why she keep on the other one >> because the three car accident and the other one he hurt. >> Yeah. Yeah. I always >> is your daughter flying across and the car almost flipped and and it almost made me cry. >> No. >> What was that a go? >> Um They called >> Um Hey, can you get away from that, please? >> I need to get her phone cuz we got to go. >> I just want to let you >> I don't even know her. >> Oh, somebody got asthma? >> Huh? >> Y'all got asthma? >> No, why? >> Oh, I thought it was you. >> Oh, no. Hey, ma'am. Come here. Come over here. >> Yeah, I was trying to Can I get her her phone back? >> Right here? >> Yes. Where's her phone? >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. All right. Can you Can you come over here, please? >> Yeah, hello. >> You didn't give me no shirt, baby. I got you in the tights right there. They're in the tights. >> What's in the tights? >> What are you talking about? I gave you this. >> Are you okay? >> Yeah. >> Where you at over >> I'm recording you. What did you see? >> I seen All I seen was it flying over here. We all ran for our hair. >> I didn't see you. Did I see anybody? You just saw her flying over here. >> Yeah, but it looked like however it was hit her it come this way. I really don't know. >> I don't know how fast it was going. >> Let me explain something to you real quick. All right. I know you don't know her. I understand you're trying to I understand, but let me just tell you what happened, okay? So, she's got front end damage on her car. She get There's rear end damage on the truck over there. She just called in as a reckless driver and she's previously been arrested with this one before driving while high on glue. >> No, I'm me. No, I heard you that you read it. I'm just asking I take the blood test and it says there's nothing in my system I'm still going to sit jail, correct? Like when am I taking Okay, when am I taking a blood test? >> It'll be now. >> How am I How am I do a blood test? But either way it go I'm going to jail. >> Yes, you are going to jail. >> Okay. Okay. Now, it's okay. >> You're refusing the blood test. >> If I'm still going to jail. I don't have nothing in my system. >> Okay, what's the charges? >> Um so, he is charging you for the seatbelt violation and then DUI let with a less safe action under the statute that covers inhalants, okay? >> So, that's what we're investigating. So, I just need you to step outside for just a minute. Come over here, please. >> No, no. You You guys are good. Ma'am. >> I can say you can talk to Miss Writtenberry. Miss Writtenberry. Come over here, please. She She keeps looking for her bag. >> No, this is where What What What Oh, this is her. >> I was asking him what they said. >> So, what they said is they were driving down uh they saw her swerving. They were over in this lane. >> Yeah. >> As they came up to this light, she didn't slow down. She didn't slow down for traffic. This light changed. And then she snapped right in front >> Okay. Yeah. >> witnessed and confirmed all of that. >> Okay. >> And I told him he didn't really got a call minutes before >> Yeah. Um she got arrested today for DUI. I blew. So, that's what I was trying to see. Yeah, she's she's definitely exhibiting you know, the signs, but I don't think she's going to do anything. >> You good if I go grab her case card and then get out of here? >> Hang on, please. >> Okay. >> Um I You all right? >> I'm not all right. No, I'm not. I need to go to the hospital. I'm PC. I'm wet. My back hurt. I'm hurt. I need to go to the hospital. Y'all making it worse cuz y'all trying to make it seem like I fought. Y'all ain't even >> Well, I've asked you your side of the story you times. No, you just you just you can't tell me anything. Yeah, but you can't tell me anything. Okay, so tell me your side of the story. Yeah, I'm sorry. I asked you to tell me your side of the story. Yeah, cuz you're not telling me cuz I've asked you several times and you're just babbling on. Can you please tell me your side of the story? You don't want to tell him, why don't you tell me? I need a female officer over here, please. Central. She's She's having stuff up there, bro. Oh. Um She's just Yeah, not saying anything. I've asked her to tell me her side of the story, she can't. Says she blacked out. Um They're obviously saying she flies up behind them swerving and they see it and they try and get out of the way and then she just hits them. >> Is she impaired? >> I think she is. She's definitely not going to be field graded like that, but I'm comfortable with it besides that. Her last DUI charge was for an ambulance and she has taken this pair of leggings that these people gave her, random witnesses, and she shoved it into her bra and she keeps finicking with the bra and she asked them several times, "Where is that bag at?" So, I'm pretty sure she's shoving whatever she did have in her bra. >> It looks like she's high. >> Yeah, oh yeah. And she keeps smacking herself on the side of the head over and over again. >> I have heard of it. >> Issue one, the demand for identification. Georgia Code Section 45-29 requires a driver to display a license on an officer's demand. Complaints about the officer's tone do not suspend that duty. Issue two, the 911 calls. In Navarette versus California 2014, the Supreme Court held that a reliable emergency call reporting dangerous driving can supply reasonable suspicion of impairment. Corroboration strengthened the tips. Callers described the same vehicle and its exact temporary tag before the collision. Afterward, front-end damage on the driver's car matched rear-end damage on the truck, both traveling the same direction. Issue three, probable cause. Illinois versus Gates 1983 applies a totality of the circumstances test requiring a fair probability, not certainty. Tips, crash physics, eyewitnesses, and behavior are weighed together, never in isolation. Issue four, roadside statements. Under Berkemer versus McCarty 1984, ordinary roadside questioning is not custody, so Miranda versus Arizona 1966 did not apply. Her shifting accounts from blackout to certainty she hit no one remain usable. Issue five, the prior arrest. An arrest is an accusation, not a conviction. Georgia Code Section 24-4-404 subsection B limits when other acts reach a jury, and history alone cannot supply probable cause. Issue six, alleged concealment. By the officer's own description, the item placed in the driver's clothing was a pair of leggings handed over by bystanders. A hidden drug theory built on that act is inference, not evidence. Requesting a female officer for any search reflected sound practice. Issue seven, Wren versus United States 1996 places selective enforcement under the equal protection clause requiring discriminatory purpose and effect. Here, the investigation rested on race-neutral evidence, callers, damage, and witnesses. >> And I was right here. >> And you didn't see who hit you? >> Huh? >> You didn't see who hit you? >> I didn't She didn't Y'all just told me who hit me. I didn't know who hit me. Honestly, I thought they kept going. I didn't know who hit >> Okay. >> I don't I still don't know who hit me. >> Um >> I still don't know who hit me. >> Are are you willing to do any field sobriety exercises or anything like that make sure you're safe to drive? Just make sure you're safe to drive. I don't know or or is it just me today? I haven't spoke to them uh but right now you seem to be the vehicle that is caused the collision so that's why I'm asking if you would like to do field sobriety exercises. >> But I'm the one called all the way over on the other side of the street well. >> We have an excellent officer. Yeah. >> Oh they don't care I guess they don't care what the witnesses said what they made the witnesses >> No we actually have witnesses. The ones that were over here they said they didn't actually see the collision. Ms. Writtenberry would you like to do field sobriety exercises? >> Let's a field sobriety test for what? Do you smell any liquor on my breath? >> No I don't smell liquor I'm not worried about liquor. Not worried about weed. >> I said I'm what what's giving you that I'm under the >> Physiological indicators of impairment by central nervous system inhalants. >> By what? >> Sorry by central nervous system uh So there's inhalants. That's what I'm that's what I'm worried about. >> Inhalants? >> Inhalants. >> What do you mean? >> Yes and inhalants glue aerosol. >> You must just read my background. >> Huh? >> You must just read my background. >> I I am concerned about your background yes. >> Yeah you shouldn't looked in my background. >> Yeah and the fact that people were calling 911 about your driving. >> What he looked at my background from what I got from 2 weeks ago right? >> Yeah 2 weeks ago is pretty soon. No well also because of what's going on now. >> Simply off of my background. >> Okay. >> There's nothing in the car he don't smell no Yeah I need a lawyer we need a lawyer ASAP. ASAP this this this is wrong. >> Um Do you want to do any field sobriety exercises? >> test >> Watch this, mama. Watch they find some type of way that I fail these tests. Watch this. Watch this. Can I change my pants cuz I'm full of pee. I guess they Matter of fact, I asked to go to the hospital. >> The The The paramedics are here with you right now. >> I'm in pain. >> Okay. Do you want to do the field sobriety exercises? >> Y'all don't even care that I'm in pain. I don't pissed on myself. My back hurt. Y'all talk Y'all talk about You said, "Huh?" I have I have talked about being in pain. Yes, I have. When you first came here and asked me what's wrong, I told you my back hurt. >> I didn't ask you that. >> I'm not about to do this with y'all. Y'all Y'all act like the police or something. I told you I did never ask you if you were The police are like this, bro. They have me out here [ __ ] ranting and raving. All these out here playing with me. What are you? >> It's really there. Would you like to conduct a field exercise or field sobriety exercise? >> out here playing with me so bad, bro. What do you hear by our way? >> Yeah, I'm good, too. >> Are you the the the big person? Yeah, somebody done hit me. They making it my fault. Now they want to do a sobriety test off of my background. They don't smell no liquor. They don't smell no weed. I'm sitting here talking to them like normal people. They're laughing in my face. I got to get out of here. I don't pissed all over myself. They don't care. My back hurt. >> Hold on. >> Man, is there something >> Y'all are out of here. >> You just asked to speak with the officer. >> My mama on the other line, but she know she is with it. She can't get here. I call her back. Can I change my clothes cuz I'm getting >> Yeah. >> Wow. >> You You had a question for him? >> Did you have a question for me other than that? >> My thing is why is nobody taking me serious right now? This This all I want to know. >> seriously? >> Soon as he pulled up it was straight [ __ ] as if it's my fault. >> Just ask you why somebody would have called you in this record driver. Yes, ma'am. I'm listening. Yeah. I'm going I'm going to jail, Mama. I'm going to jail. I'm going to jail, Mama. But you're not on your back. I'm going to jail, Mama. I'm going to jail. You want to know why that Estrada and friends wrecked this driver? Something is, based on everything Okay. Okay. She's fine. She's just fine. breath test for an inhaler. We don't believe you're under the influence breath test Just walk over to the car. >> Wait, wait, wait. >> Issue eight, field sobriety evaluations. Ammons versus State 2022 held that Georgia drivers may decline roadside evaluations and that the refusal cannot be used at trial. Offering them was lawful and declining carried no criminal penalty. Issue nine, inhalant impairment. Georgia code section 46-391 subsection A3 prohibits driving under the intentional influence of glue, aerosol, or other toxic vapor to the extent driving is less safe. Intent and impairment are both required. A standard breath test cannot detect inhalants and no alcohol odor was reported. Proof depends on observed impairment, admissions, and any toxicology. Intentional inhalation is the state's hardest element to prove. Issue 10, implied consent. Georgia code section 45-67.1 requires the implied consent notice after arrest. Reading it is not consent itself. Williams versus State 2015 requires actual voluntary consent for a blood draw. Without consent, a blood draw requires a warrant or true exigency. Missouri versus McNeely 2013 held that natural dissipation of alcohol does not automatically excuse a warrant. The footage does not show whether one was sought. A refusal carries consequences. Georgia law authorizes administrative license suspension. Criminally, Elliott versus State 2019 bars breath test refusals at trial while blood test refusals remained unresolved after State versus Diaz decided in March 2025. Issue 11, the arrest. Reliable callers, matching damage, consistent eyewitnesses, and observed behavior support probable cause for driving under the influence less safe. The weakest link remains proof that any vapor was inhaled intentionally. At the time of this analysis, no court disposition filing connected to this incident could be located. Any charge remains an allegation and the driver is presumed innocent. The primary officer receives a B+. His probable cause was layered and his composure held under sustained provocation. However, he discussed the driver's prior arrest in front of civilians and the footage documents little concrete inhalant evidence. The secondary officer receives a B. His scene briefing was clear and his request for a female officer showed sound procedure. However, his concealment theory rested on speculation about an item he himself called leggings. The driver receives a C. Pain and fear are genuine mitigating factors and she did not physically resist. However, shifting accounts, hostility toward officers, and a late request for counsel moved her legal position in the wrong direction. Lessons: One, in Georgia, declining breath or roadside evaluations is protected, though blood test refusals remain unsettled. Two, pre-arrest statements are not shielded by Miranda. Three, probable cause is built in layers, never from a single fact. Let us know if there is an interaction or legal topic that you would like us to discuss in the comments below.
