This woman was so drunk that she didn't realize that she crashed into a ditch. Pull over the goddamn car. Come on. Cops arrive after receiving reports of a woman speeding before crashing into a ditch, only to find her refusing to get out of the car and trying to escape. Take a look. I was in the street and I was speeding as fast as I've ever seen in my life. Came into this, jumped over and went into the other ditch. Hang on. Let me deal with why that's happening or whatever. I I don't know if she's intoxicated, but Yeah, I'll be right back with you, okay? You're okay? Hi there. Hi there. Hi. Hi. Please, can you turn off your engine, please? I Can you turn off your engine, please? Okay. I have my mom on the phone. That's right. Uncooperative driver trying to drive away. I closed my door. Hi. Can you turn off your Can you turn off your engine, please? I closed my door. Can you turn off your engine, please? No. I closed my door. Okay. I'll have another officer here in just a moment. Is this part of her car or your car? I was in her car. I was not in the accident. I My car's fine. She's just out there somewhere. No, she She opened up her door and then gets in the ditch. I can't I don't She keeps trying to drive away and she won't talk to me. Well, she's doing that, real briefly, what direction were you driving? This way. Okay, you were just coming up Courtney Cherry headed this way and she came from this road. This road. Yeah. And went into the ditch and right in front of me and flew this way and flew that way. Did she hit your car? No. Oh, okay. I slammed on my brakes and she just Okay, so you weren't hit. You just saw her pull out of there and go into the ditch and then wind up over here. and then I pulled over to check on her and now Thank you for stopping. You're clear to go as a witness. I got you recorded. If I need to call you, I will. Otherwise, we're just going to deal with why this happened when this second officer gets here. No, perfect. Thank you. All right. Okay, you know what? I thought I'd seen it all and apparently I haven't cuz this is one of those situations where you got to formulate a plan as to how is it you're going to get her to turn off the engine and try to extract her from the car. It looks to me like we're going to have to use force, right? ATD, ask, tell, and do. And when do we use force? Well, said this before on other videos and I'll keep saying it again. Look, you use force for three main reasons: to affect an arrest, overcome resistance, and prevent an escape. And right now, she's escaping, so I don't know how this is all going to play out. Single car, she's not going anywhere. According to the witness, she came tearing out of here, went into the ditch, up over the ditch. I think that's the back end of her car, landed here. I tried to get her orange or something, but I tried to give dispatch the plate, but they didn't copy it. Hi, good afternoon. Hi there. Can you hang up your phone, please, and turn off your engine? That's what we've been doing since I got here. Are you her? Yeah. You're her? Yeah. Do you need an ambulance? You do? Okay. If you if you keep revving your engine, you might start a fire, so it might be good to to okay? Just cuz your engine will overheat. Okay? Um just so we don't start a fire as well, can you turn your engine off? But I'll get you an I'll get you an aid car. Are you a diabetic or an epileptic? Yeah. You're a diabetic? Dispatch, she's still trying to drive away. She might be a diabetic. All right, copy. You want me to put a car in front of her just in case she's diabetic or whatever? I'll do that. George 22 Kelson, if you could just take a note. Hello! 22, she's trying to take off now still. 15 Kelson, we are westbound on Norton approaching Church. Speed is 40 mph, suspected suspected DUI. George 22 Kelson, I'm I'm going to monitor in the pursuit. I'm going to block her from the front. Turn off the car! Stop! Stop! Stop! Turn off the car! Turn off the goddamn car! Ow! Ow! Ow!

You know, I'm thinking about this and I'm not going to push the BS button, but when she actually got into that TC, that traffic collision, when she hit the ditch and she took off, she probably did injure herself. So, it's necessary that we get empty, medical treatment right away. And as you can see, if you're not complying and you're resisting arrest, this is what happens when you're trying to extract someone out of the vehicle. I'm telling you to get out of the car.

You could have injured yourself so badly to the point where you could have died. And more than anything is these innocent bystanders on the road. You know, you could have caused some serious, serious damage. Please, you have to make better decisions, okay? Hope you learned something.
