Okay. Again, I know you're saying you're not, but you're moving your head, so keeping your head straight. Okay. Keep >> Am I really moving my head? >> Yes, ma'am. Keeping your hands down to your side. Okay. >> Favor, can you turn around for me and put your hands behind your back? >> You're moving under arrest? >> Yes, ma'am.

I suspect you under the influence of alcohol. >> Deputies in Marian County, Florida, clock a car doing well over a 100 m an hour, weaving across the road in the dark. But when they light it up to pull it over, the driver doesn't stop because, as she'll later claim, she never even noticed them. Instead, she calmly rolls into a gas station, [music] steps out, and starts trying to pump gas as if a traffic stop isn't happening all around her. What follows is one of the more surreal DUI stops you'll see on camera, and it ends with a breath reading more than double the legal limit. Let's break it down. It starts on South Highway 442. A Maran County Sheriff's deputy spots a vehicle speeding and driving erratically, reportedly all over the road at speeds over a 100 m an hour. That kind of driving is dangerous on its own, [music] and it's exactly the sort of behavior that flags a possible impaired driver. The deputy activates his lights to make the stop, but the car keeps rolling, drifting toward a gas [music] station up ahead. Time for him. Trying to get him to stop. Looks like we're going to be pulling in circle. Okay, finally. >> The driver pulls into the gas station, not to pull over, but apparently because she wants gas. She seems completely oblivious to the patrol car and the lights right behind her. >> Brake lights are still on. When it comes up, she says she didn't notice the police because, in her words, it's so dark out. Oh [ __ ] What the hell? >> We've been behind you with lights and trying to pull you over. >> I'm sorry. I didn't notice. It's so dark. >> Okay. How much you had to drink tonight? >> Five. >> I didn't have any. >> Ma'am, you're all over the road. >> Why not? >> Okay. Go ahead and grab your driver's license. Come back here for me. >> Go ahead and come back here for me, please. >> I don't have a shoe. >> Say again. I'm sorry. >> I'm missing a shoe. You're missing a shoe. >> Yes, I lost a shoe. My shoe broke. >> Okay, go ahead and step out of the vehicle. >> She steps out [music] and before the deputy can even begin, she reaches for the pump and starts to open her fuel tank. The sergeant stops her cold. Don't undo that. You're not getting gas right now. >> Run over here where my partner's at. How much have you had to drink tonight? >> Ma'am, don't undo that. You're not getting gas right now. Stand over here. >> Okay. >> How much have you had to drink tonight? >> Maybe a beer. >> Okay. You've had probably more than one beer, unless you've taken medications or marijuana. >> No, I don't do marijuana. >> Okay. Well, you're all over the road. >> From there, the small details [music] pile up in a way that tells the deputies almost everything they need to know. She claims she hasn't had anything to drink. She mentions almost in passing that she's missing a shoe. She seems unsteady and disconnected from what's happening around her. To a trained officer, this is a familiar picture. The confusion, the impaired coordination, the inability to register something as obvious as flashing police lights directly behind her. >> We were doing over >> That's because I was doing GPS. I'm so sorry. >> And we're doing over 100. >> We're doing over 100. >> Yes, ma'am. >> Me? Absolutely. >> Not absolutely. >> Okay. >> Then you straddle the line as we come to the red light >> and you slam on your brakes because you almost ran the red light. >> Okay. So, I'm going to have a deputy come and he's going to do some filter body exercises to see make sure you're not impaired. >> All right. So, hang out right here for me. >> No, ma'am. >> Say again. >> I'm about to run out of gas. Should I turn it off? >> If you want to turn it off so you don't run out of gas, you can. said that I was swerving, but I was looking at my GPS. >> It's okay. It's fine. Can I open up my truck and get my other sandals? >> Say again. I'm sorry. >> Can I open my truck and my other sandals? Okay, cuz one of mine broke driving with one shoes on. Okay, it's okay. Yeah, the other one broke. So I was literally like one foot in and one foot out. Okay, just hang that right there in the back of your car. Okay. >> All right. >> Step out of there and close it. Cuz you're not going to be reaching and grabbing stuff from her. Put it down. Put it down. >> Put it down. >> Put that. Stop. Wait. >> Give me that. >> You can have that. No, you have that. >> You come back here. You're not going back in your car. You're going to stand right there. >> Sure, I will. I didn't do that. That's automatic. >> That's automatic. >> Mhm. >> Let it close. Don't reopen it. And you stand there. I will. I will. >> The deputies move into a DUI investigation, [music] looking for the standard signs of impairment, and the driver displays them plainly. >> Christina, how you doing, ma'am? My name is Deputy Mar County Sheriff's Office. I don't shake hands. I'll do a fist bump. All right. So, basically what I'm here for is I'm here to do a DUI investigation. Okay?

She's charged with driving under the influence. reckless driving tied to the speeding and refusal to sign a citation. Two things worth understanding here. First, a breath reading that high is a big part of why a case like this [music] is straightforward for prosecutors. And second, that last charge, refusal to sign a citation, surprises a lot of people. In most places, [music] signing a ticket is not an admission of guilt. It simply means you received it and you're promising to appear in court. Refusing to sign can turn [music] a routine ticket into an arrest. It's a small moment that carries real consequences. So, what's your take? Impairment this obvious, or [music] did the deputies handle it exactly right? Let us know in the comments. Stay safe out there and we'll see you in the next breakdown.
