Now, one of the things I'd like to do to help me determine your sobriety is check your eyes. >> Okay. >> Is that okay? >> Yeah. >> All right. Just stand right here on top of that light. Face me. >> Okay. Stand with your feet all the way together. Hands all the way down at your side touching your legs. Just like that. >> I was crying. I don't know if that affects anything. >> No, it's not. >> Can you see the light I'm holding in front of your face? Absolutely. >> What color is it? >> It's red. >> All right. Here's what I want you to do. I want you to look at your the red light here in front of your face. I want you to follow that light with your eyes only while keeping your head completely still. >> Do you understand? >> Yes. This is a very weird thing you're asking me to do. >> It's called horizontal gaze nestagmas. >> Okay. Um, my peripheral isn't that isn't that good due to the glasses that I need to wear. Look directly at the light. Okay. >> Um, I did not take any drugs if that's what you're looking for. >> All right. I haven't accused you of using drugs. Just keep looking on at that red light. Okay. Look all the way out to the corner of your eye following the light. >> Keep looking at the light. >> Okay. >> Try not to move your head. Let's Let's do that one again. Sir, I'm okay. I promise you. I have younger siblings. I'm the oldest sibling. I would not do anything that would put them in jeopardy. >> Okay. >> I set an I set a good example for them every single day. Like that was my goal ever since I was a little girl. Ever since I was 11 years old and my mom decided to have kids. >> I am a cheerleader. I graduated from high school with a 4.1 GPA. >> You can relax. Um, listen, I'm seeing some indications in your eyes that's causing me some concern. So, what I'd like to do is continue my investigation and ask that you perform some additional field exercises. Now, that would consist of you like 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? >> Um, to my knowledge, no. But I do wake up every day with back and neck pain due to being um a dancer. >> Okay. Are you still healthy enough to dance and and cheer and that sort of thing? >> I don't know. I I don't have health insurance, so I haven't gotten checked in a very long time. >> Do you have to walk with a cane or anything like that? >> I don't have to walk with a cane or anything like that, but I do wake up every day with >> How are you feeling right now? >> Um, I do have pain in my back. >> But you were dancing earlier today. >> Um, not necessarily dancing to the full extent of what I want to dance. >> You told me just a moment ago. Yes. >> That you were dancing. >> That I was dancing. >> Let me put it Let me put it into perspective. >> Spinning me around. >> Hold on. Let me Let me put it into perspective. What I'm going to ask you to do is much less rigorous than >> you're going to ask me to walk with one foot in front of the other and I can do that. >> Okay. You think you can do that? Are you willing to do that for me? >> Yes, absolutely. >> Uh looks like we got a nice flat area here. I'm going to put a line down for us and I'll be with you in just a second. Stay right there. >> One foot in front of the other. That's all. >> Well, I'm going to give you some instructions. I'm going to demonstrate what I want you to do and I'm going to give you an opportunity to ask questions if you have any. It's all pretty straightforward. I'm not going to try to trick you or surprise you, but it is important you follow my instructions exactly. So, that being said, if there's anything about these instructions that you don't understand, just make sure you ask questions when I give you the chance. Okay? Cuz once you start each exercise, you will not be able to stop in the middle of the exercise to ask questions. Do you understand so far? >> Yes, sir. >> All right. Now, I know this sounds silly, but do you know your right from your left? >> Right. Left. >> All right. Very good. Now, 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. >> Okay. >> Sorry, I'm stepping on my pants. I'm really short. >> Next, I want you to take your right foot, place it directly in front of your left foot. So, the heel of your right foot is touching the toes of your left foot. Then, put your hands all the way down at your side, touching your legs. >> Now, stay in that position and don't do anything else until I tell you to begin. Do you understand so far? >> Yes, sir. >> All right. Now, when I tell you to begin, you're going to take nine heel totoe steps down the line. You're going to turn around in a manner I'm about to demonstrate. And then you'll take nine heel totoe steps back. So, it's going to look just like this. Okay? From the starting position, you'll start walking with your back foot. As you walk, look down at your feet. Count each step out loud like this. 1 2 3 and so on till you get to nine. Once you get to your ninth step, whatever foot is in front will stay on the line. Your back foot will come off. And then with your back foot, you'll take a series of small steps around your front foot to turn around. Once you've turned around, you'll take nine heel totoe steps back again, looking down at your feet and counting each step out loud. One, two, three, and so on till you get to nine. As you walk, make sure every step touches heel to toe. Keep your hands all the way down at your side the entire time. Do not step off the line. And once you start walking, do not stop walking till you've completed the entire exercise. Do you understand those instructions? Maybe yes or no. Do you understand the instructions? >> I don't understand the instructions. >> Okay. Do you have any questions? >> I wish my dad was here. >> All right. Do you have any questions about the instructions? >> Can I have a second? >> Because you're giving me anxiety and I have anxiety. I suffer from anxiety and depression. I just need a second. But I I don't have any questions about the directions you gave me. >> Okay. All right. Well, if you don't have any questions, can you get back in that starting position for me? >> Yeah. >> If you don't have any questions and you think you understand, whenever you're ready, you can go ahead and begin. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 >> nine and turn. >> Go. Just like I showed you. >> Okay. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 one. Clear. Done. I am a cheerleader. I am a model. I am a dancer. >> You can relax and stand right here on top of that light. Turn and face my car. >> I want you to stand with your feet all the way together. Sides of your feet touching. Hands all the way down at your side touching your legs. >> Yes. >> Stay in that position. Don't do anything else until I tell you to begin. >> Okay. >> Do you understand so far? >> Yes. >> All right. >> I don't know my ABCs. I'm kind of dyslexic. >> Nothing to do with your ABCs. Okay. Just pay >> I don't know them backwards. >> Just pay attention to my instructions. Okay. Okay. >> Now, when I tell you to begin, >> keep your hands all the way down your side. When I tell you to begin, 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. >> Okay? >> If you look at me for a moment, 6 in is about that high. >> Okay? >> Let me stop you there because I'm a cheerleader. And the best is with our toes. >> Remember, the instructions are for you to stay there with your feet all the way together, hands all the way down at your side. Don't do anything until I tell you to begin. >> I understand. >> All right. It's very important you follow my instructions. Exactly. Okay. Part of that is listening. >> I feel like you're setting me up. >> I'm not trying to set you up, ma'am. I'm I'm giving you the standardized instructions. So, it's important you pay attention so you don't miss anything. >> Okay. >> Okay. So, as I was saying, if you look at me for a moment, 6 in is about that high. It's about the height of a soda can. >> Okay. >> When you raise your foot, your foot's got to be parallel to the ground like this. Not with your toes pointed up like this. >> I'm going to be pointed up. They're probably going to be pointed down from the amount of years that I spent cheerleading. >> You got you got to stop talking and listen to the instructions I'm about to demonstrate for you. Okay? It's going to look just like this. Okay? Keep your hands down at your side. It's going to look just like this. Either foot of your choice about 6 in high. Notice how my foot's parallel with the ground. Both legs need to be straight. Hands down at your side touching your legs. Then while looking down at your raised foot, you got to count out loud like this. 1001 1002 1003 1004 and so on until I tell you to stop during this exercise. Do not raise your arms for balance. Don't hop. Don't sway. And don't put your foot down. Do you understand those instructions? >> 100 1,002 100 34 100. >> And just like that till I tell you to stop. >> Okay. Are you ready? >> Not yet. Do you have any questions? >> No, I don't. I have any questions. >> Do you think you understand? >> Yes, I understand. >> Okay. If you don't have any questions, now you may begin. >> 1001 10002 10003 100 Make >> sure you're looking down at your foot. >> 100 1 2 10 100 34 105 1006 1007 10008 Make >> Make sure you're looking at your foot. >> 100,00 1,002003 1004 1006 Is that okay? Did I do it? >> Don't stop until I tell you to stop. You said six 100,00 >> All right, you can stop. All right, go ahead and put your hands behind your back for me.

What do you mean? >> Relax. >> What the [ __ ] is that? I did everything you asked me to do. >> You're showing signs of impairment. Okay.
