Um I went around um at the light at Route 9 and I came back from here and then around back and then here because empty gas. So you went over by like Lowe's. No, the light you came up Applebee's. You came out of Applebee's the light. Which way? Yeah. The light Lowe's, I guess. Right there. Right. You cut through Applebee's, right? You went through the plaza. You came out by Lowe's by Chick-fil-A. You made the right and you had the traffic light right there. Okay. Did you hit that pole that's over there? No. You hit the utility pole. Anything in cuz your bumper's in the middle of the road. No, my um I hit the So, do you see this side? Yeah. I hit this. Okay. At my um How long ago? Uh like about a month ago on my ex's. Okay. Because he broke up with me and I broke up with him and All right. Go a hang about back over there. Keep your hands in your pockets, please. It's okay. I'm sorry. Listen, your bumper's in the road over there. Okay. Did you just hit that pole? No, I promise you I did not. No. So, someone brings that bumper over here. It's not going to match up perfectly. You're coming from Applebee's. You're telling me you went out that way. Everything's matching up. Witnesses said they saw a white car cross over in this direction. And then I happen to find your car parked here with no with no bumper. Okay. All right. 67. Do you have another unit out with you? Oh my god. All right. Hang out. What's up? Negative. We just cleared off the traffic now. 104. Can you bring her bumper here? Hey, we have them. So, Teresa, yes. Let me ask you again. Yeah. You left Applebee? Yeah, I left Apple Geese. You cut through the plaza. You came out by Lowe's and Chick-fil-A. Yeah. Yeah. Did you hit the traffic pole? That's right there. I did not hit the traffic pole. Do you not remember hitting a traffic pole? I did not hit the traffic pole. I promise you. So, your bumper's in the middle of the road over there. And there's a pole down. This part was hanging off already cuz I already hit something. Okay. When I I hit a deer in Pennsylvania cuz I go to school in and the the this part was hanging off already. Okay. Do you smoke marijuana recreationally? No, I do not smoke marijuana. What do you prescribe that you put You have I'm a soccer athlete. I understand. What's the prescription medicine that you had that I can I call my dad who's a sheriff's officer? Let the one officer come here who's who's out with your other part of your bumper. He's going to talk to you and then we'll go from there. Okay. Well, Do you go to college? Yes, I go to Yeah, I have a soccer captain there. Okay. I do not smoke marijuana universally. Do you do any recreational drugs? Described anything else? That's it. Uh, just hang out with this officer for a second. Okay. Muting for a conference. Teresa is her name. The car comes back to her dad or somebody else. you just took out. I I piece of That's great. You just smash smash the traffic. Well, the seat's over there. You're over here. You said that piece up. But now something I'm sorry to drink at Applebee's. I was like scared of my wife. But Teresa, I explained to you this before. Lying isn't going to get you anywhere. You know the truth. You just lied. You just lied. We just caught you in a lie. Can you tell me about this piece by the traffic light by Lowe's? You said you that piece off in Pennsylvania. You told me you hit a deer. You took my wheel. A whole bunch of stories. You're a Pennsylvania. You just hit a telephone with a traffic light that's important. This piece fell off of the traffic light that you hit that you knocked over. Lie doesn't help anything. Where were you coming from? I came from Apple. I had one drink everywhere. Okay. After Apple, where'd you go? I I came from there. The the traffic light that's right there. And then the I came around and there because my house I would have to go from the traffic light to there. Okay. That doesn't really make too much sense either considering that the traffic light that you took out was on the corner. Which corner of the back entrance of Los? back entrance of load have to go around there. So I have to go around there right there. Here's I'm just going to draw this out for you. So here's the corner for the back entrance for Lowe's. Your vehicle came and impacted it on the passenger side hitting the traffic lane. So that means that you were coming from down a different part of Lanesville Road. Can you see that Hawaii or Op right there? Yeah. Okay. So I would go that way. I would go that way which Lowe's is right there. Then I would go the traffic lights to the LA fitness which is right there which is my gym. Then I would go that way which is goes down to the quick check which is that way. Then I would make the right that was that way and turn that does that doesn't make too much sense considering where the damage was and where the pulling that was. So here readyville road yes closes on the right. You hit the You hit the traffic light on the right hand side of Los with the passenger side of your vehicle, which is where this piece was, which matches identically, which didn't fall off in Pennsylvania, which fell off in Pennsylvania. I know that I hit a deer in Pennsylvania. Well, you also hit a telephone pole today or a traffic light today. Yeah, I I must have hit something today. I'm sorry. So, you you don't know that you hit a a traffic light? I did not hit a traffic light today. So, you mean to tell me that's just a coincidence that this was on? I did not a traffic light today. So again, you need to tell me this is just a coincidence that this piece was found right next to a traffic light. I'm not saying that. I was coming home from my boyfriend's house for one day where I hit a um cross. He was just calling my dad. He was a sheriff's officer. He would tell you this. I hit the traffic. What's up? Yeah, she's got guacamole everywhere. She got guac everywhere. I was trying to figure out what the green stuff was and I saw that's not happening. Chips and guac. Yeah, I know. Yeah, I don't know what in Pennsylvania I the thing in here and this damaged this here and then I must have hit something today and then this fell off. I'm not saying that I'm lying. I'm saying like and I'm displaying to you that you hit a traffic light at the corner of Lville Road and back entrance below. Okay. And then you left the scene. I did not. Did you call 911? Did you record it? No, I did not. You didn't drive over here. You left. I was getting gas cuz I was at zero. What? Uh what is that traffic light that is right in the middle by Lowe's and LA Fitness right there? That one. So it's the one on the corner. On the corner coming this way. Yeah. Road on the corner. Yeah. If you were to go to back one right before that entrance on the low side. On the low side. Yeah. This tire is all This rim's all messed up too on this side. So I That's already messed up for the other right next to Yeah, I know. I was at Duncan and the guy backed into me in this this accident. Listen, are you just scared you're going to get tickets or something? Yes. Is that all it is? Yes. So, you want to just tell the truth? It is. I'm telling you this. So, after Applebees, did you hit a traffic pool? I think I hit something. I remember hitting something. You can't miss it. It lights up. It's red, green, and yellow. I remember hitting something after Applebee's thing like And did you drive away cuz you're scared? Cuz you had maybe had one drink and you think you're drunk and you might get arrested, but you don't seem like you're drunk. Yes. Is that what's going on? So, you drove away cuz you're scared. So, you might get some tickets and maybe you might get arrested. Is that why? Yes. Okay. So, now we're starting to tell the truth, right? I remember hitting something, but I remember like like from like before this I already hit something and he he was So you're saying there was some damage but obviously your bumper is over there like this officer was saying this was already damaged. This was already this fell off because of already damage. Okay. But it fell off on Lanes Mill where the pulley is in the middle of the road. You told my dad even your dad the sheriff's officer wasn't driving your vehicle today. Your dad saw you. It's already damaged that they already reported to the insurance. They already reported everything on the right. You're 21. You're an adult. We're trying to figure out what happened with you and driving and leaving the scene. I hit a curb. You hit a traffic signal. Oh, I hit a curb. Yeah, you went up the curb. You hit the traffic signal. The traffic signal fell down and you left. Someone's texting. That's why. And I already had damage. I still I'm just trying to figure out how cuz if you went the back entrance to come out of the Lanesville marketplace that that still doesn't make sense on the driver's side because this is where you hit the the traffic light. If I came out of again I'm I'm telling you I'm telling you your story doesn't make sense. That is that way. No. So what is it? It looks like she It looks like she was going east on Land Mill, but she's saying she was coming west based on where it is on that side. All right. All right. I'm pump. Let me let mess around. You damage one lineup. Okay. So, That's not I was that alphabur that way which is that way which is that road that goes back ways to the Jackson quick check that is like right there like I know give your dad a call now that we figured out what's happening and you're telling someone the truth. I still just thought how she comes out that I don't Is that bag with Glock that's on your face and all over your car? Is that from Applebee's? That's from Applebee's. That's an Applebee's bag. That's just not an Applebee's bag. No, it's a So, you coming from Applebees or you coming from somewhere else? Is that from tonight? Agüero. Where? Where is that? It's right there. It's right next to Applebees. IHOP. IHOP. Teresa I just need to talk to Yeah. I think I think she's scared she's hanging out with a boy or something and the dad is I don't know. This makes no sense at all. Maybe hanging out with a guy. Yeah, she doesn't want Yeah, exactly. Something like that. She spun around or something or she's going to a guy's house or something. Who knows? Yeah. Teresa, what's your name? John, right? Hey, John. How are you? Um, so your daughter in a traffic and airport. I don't know. She's nervous and scared cuz she was texting. I don't really know what the deal is. She's kind of frantic and the story that she was telling us wasn't really making so much sense. Give me a head. Uh, she said that she was happy. How bad's that light? How bad is that light? It's down. It's like in the middle of the road. We were able to move out of the road a little bit more. We're all nice. You lo you were texting. You hit a pole. It fell. You drove away. Yeah, the car is drivable. Um I'll just you know just let this officer talk to you, Dad. Okay. I don't think she's tired and she might just Okay. Did she Did she get into a crash with that pres? She did. Okay. Okay. And she did. Yes. Okay. Where what did she What was the deal with that crash? Where's the damage on the car? Okay. The damage on that car on the car there, I think, if I'm I'm trying to remember off the top of my head, it was like the front right bumper and down the side. There was some bending and scratching going down the side. Okay. How bad was the front bumper? It was a front bumper. Yes. How bad was the front bumper? Oh, how bad? It was uh Yeah, it was a little bit little bit of damage. I mean, like I said, it was it was very dry. I've had this slightly just fall today to get an appointment for an estimate for it. Um but like so like the fog light area was kind of uh just about missing kind of thing. Okay, that's the bottom side. Okay. All right. Uh, it looks like the fog the fog light thing. It's I don't know if it's a fog light or if it's like a plastic piece. So, that's gone. The the bumper cracked and then there was another piece of the bumper right below the headlight that fell off by the traffic light that she took out. Okay. All right. You say took it out and came down. Yeah, she took it down. And then she was trying to say that the the one piece that was newly missing from this incident was in Pennsylvania uh from the other crash. So I just wanted to talk to you and get, you know, a better idea of what actually happened there. I I the only thing I know is that the there was the I don't know like a like a rectangle black thing that was missing. The bumper wasn't that spot. I don't know what piece you're talking about. So that down the side. Yeah. So, where that rectangle black thing is, there's a a white piece of plastic. So, that came off in this crash. The bumper's like kind of hanging, but it is drivable. Um, so that's that's kind of that's kind of where we're at right now with this. All right. No problem. Uh, can I come out? You guys out there? Uh, that's up to you. I I'll see if she wants you to come out if she wants, you know, you to drive her home. Um, the best thing out there. Yeah, she's at the uh the Waw Wa on uh by Kent Road. Oh, okay. Gotcha. So, yeah. Uh I think it might be best if you come because like I said, she's she's upset. Still very nervous. So, okay. Yeah. All right. I I appreciate it. Let me let me come out there and I'll see you guys. Thank you. Okay. All right. Sounds good. Thanks. Bye. All right. Bloodshot. I don't think just what you're saying just doesn't make sense. Which I don't get why if like all you did was hit his dad. You know what I'm saying? If all you did was hit the bank, why just tell us what he did? Yeah. You know what I mean? What are you so scared of? That's what I don't get. What she's so freaked out about? I mean guaranteed by accident everything here. So what she's saying like and where the damage was and everything doesn't really make too much sense. So tried to get some more information out of her but figures out another soul out here. What's that? Somebody. No, no, not tonight. Tonight. So she this is that? Yeah. So you know where back at Lowe's is? Yes. Where like LA Fitness is and that intersection? Yes. So we got a hole by the low side. So it came down came and then that piece above there was there but described with the other damage the other black piece obviously. Yeah. No, it was more than that. I mean that that I mean that's more than it was. Okay. Yeah. So, for the other one, was it just like the bumper wasn't hanging like that? Yeah. No. So, what it was is um basically this was intact. Okay. Um this piece was missing, but these scratches here, that's all from a gear that she does. Okay. Um, so that's cuz once he described it to me, I was like, you know, he's a little power to pick up. Surprised that's been damaged. Okay. So, it is the um office. So, right now, this is going to be my fault. Coming out details. Okay. Who's your supervisor? Not too. I'm just asking. I got um So, what is it looking like now? That's pretty much it. Um, you know, you know, I think there because she said she was at after that she went to Arugus then left. So Arugus if she goes down just to surprise you or something. I I got off work left shift. I'm on the warrant squad, right? So just I I just want to show you this so you can see it. Um, I don't know what time you you initiated the stop. Uh, you home 10:39. So, what time did you stop her at? Because she probably got nervous. And I'm not saying that's the We know that's not an excuse. I get it. But what do you think time do you think that initial call came? Because she probably hit it and was like, "Dad, what the [ __ ] do I do?" It's probably I would say somewhere between 10:45 and 11. That's about right. Hey, Sergeant. How are you? 1050. Okay. Um, right. So, that would probably be about the time she hit it. At what time? She texted me originally at 10. I was trying to get some sleep. I just got off work. Um, she said, "You home at 10:39?" Yeah, it's about Yeah, it's about 1:4. say somewhere we got it. Right. So, she hit the bank, got nervous, and Okay. Did she tell you she was going to Applebee's or Rugers? Yes. Oh, yes. I'm not sure where which one she went to. Yeah. Um but I know that she was going out to either Apple or I think she said she got something at Rugers or something. I'm not sure. Guacamole or something. I I just weren't sure if it was like when we were talking to her, she wasn't telling us the truth at all. First call. She was wasn't telling us the truth at all. We didn't know anything that was old. We're trying to piece everything together. You know, like when you're at least going this way on the road. Yeah. Well, she's had some Well, I I don't know who she was hanging out with. She does have an ex-boyfriend. She's off school for the for the the two weeks. So, I mean, I I mean, lying to cuz she knows, but I'm a cop. She knows she knows not to do that. But in the beginning, like we just want to make sure that there might be a car driving around that car. She tried saying all this little old damage happened. Okay. Well, maybe she didn't even Do you think she I'm not I'm saying she didn't lie. Okay. And I want to be very clear about she might not even look at the freaking car to see if there's any difference, you know. But if she hit something, she hit something. She hit something. A pole. Yeah. She hit She know. Yeah. She's going to know she hit the pole, but she might not think like, "Okay, maybe maybe I didn't get any damage." Like I could see that stupid thing going in her head. So, but a lie is a lie. It is what it is. All right. Hey, how are you? He's going to run her through some tests. All right. I'm prepared. Okay. Um, obviously you're here. Please do not get involved. You are on I know. Just I'm just letting you know. Please don't get involved. Eric, you want I got Yeah, True. Have you watched anybody do these yet? Do you have jackets on? I'm sorry. [Music] 39 21. So, why was she initially lying about? We have no idea cuz it seems like when it happened, she either called or texted dad right away. That's what we're trying to piece together. What? Get That's why we can't figure out why you just hit the damn thing. It's a big deal. You know what I mean? Unless there's other animal that is on medication. Assuming she's smokes weed or vapes frequently. Got that like super fruity smell coming out. All the air fresheners hang out jack. Where are they from? Jackson was also interesting outfit to be bouncing around bars. Interesting outfit to be bouncing around bars. So we well we originally thought maybe she was I know a lot of times like that I'm not even sure. That's what we didn't know originally. Maybe she was coming from some guy's house. She wanted dad to know who she was hanging out with or something. All right. Um this right here on the ground, right? While you do the test, make sure you touch a good zone. You step look down at your feet and see where you're walking. Keep your arms down at your thighs. Count step out. All right. You want to stay in front of you want to do your side, right? Stay in that position while I give the instructions. All right. When I tell you again your choice approximately 6, right? All right. 1000 1 2 3 4 and so on and so forth until you stop. Do the test. Both legs straight. Arms out of your sides. Straight your nose. Count out loud. Now you got to keep arms out of your side. Okay. your center. 1 2 That's right. All right. Um, so at this point based off your test and everything that happened today, all right, I don't think that you were okay to take the operator. All right. base one female 41 17 for console. Dad. Dad. Hold on. [Music] Um, do you have anything? No. Do you need anything inside the car? Cell phone. I don't have my car, please. I did the test, right? So, the word is not not okay to take the operating. Can I ask you what? You took too many steps to start. You missed step. Okay. One leg raise your arms up. There's a lot of indicators there. So, we're going to walk through my dad. Oh, your dad's right over here. Okay. So, we got your cell phone. You need anything else from inside the car? Anything else in there? Woo! You do this [ __ ] in the car. You're arrested for DUI.
