his emergency lights before approaching it he made contact with a female in the driver's seat who was identified as Shannon the front of the vehicle was centered on the railroad tracks and the passenger front tire was over over the rail Shannon told Deputy Miller that she was coming from Idaho and that she was headed to yakal Washington when she was asked where she was she claimed that she was in Clear Water V though she was in cfax yeah I'm in clearw no you're not you're in Washington state right now you're in you're in kfax Washington right now cax was so good so I'm just trying to

the front of your car have you seen this what been happening have you seen all this yeah of course oh my gosh yeah it's really wrecked like you drove up over the railroad tracks how much you had to drink tonight oh not much not much yeah I know this is like this is fine I'm just like so worried that I have cops in front of me well I'm just trying to figure out how I can help you that's cuz I'm trying to figure out where you came from does that make sense yeah so do you know do you know anybody here in cfax yeah I do who who do you know who did you come to visit so I came to visit uh can you dial some numbers well let's help figure out where you are and who you're supposed to be here to see and then I'll see what I can do to help you that's awesome okay let's do [Music] that all right back window I'm just going to set your keys up on top here so that's my my problem this is my back window well I'm work you problem on your back window what happened so let's put my mom real quick okay okay do you want to figure out tracks here thank you guys so much cuz I can tell she's been right there and she came up this way so she also came but I don't I don't have timeline of driving is my issue this to stuff I know but so I left the office and I came and went to the bank and I saw this car over here with its lights on so I watched it for a minute and she ran from in that direction General vicinity I just saw her mid Street Run to the vehicle and then started again which is why I came over to contact her so okay I I get where you're going with DIY my problem is is you're looking for tracks I she was never on the roadway I never saw her drive so I have no DUI I have physical control but to be fair physical control is going to fail because the vehicle's stuck yeah so I don't think you're going to get to DUI here I mean her tracks are right here she can't oh right here well she backed over that she drove over that I bet you that's what hooked her front bumper pull it out back up here so she hit this so she's here here's her front end damage right there there's all of her front end damage right there so that's her entire front got tracks down got track go this way as well I've got tracks that go up here did she go around the back side well I know I've got tracks right here that go all the way around two she tried to drive right there and [Applause] stopped step Paul 16 can you go physicals on the r oh go ahead 16 it's the best I can tell she up behind Empire disposal she came through the Empire disposal lot she came from warino two hours ago it's heading to yakal she came up Empire disposal came all the way up the bank hit the tracks come down along the tracks here tried to go out there she backs up she tries to go down right here she can't so then she flips a U-turn the front right here well no no that's on my way in we come in we hit that we back up we try to go down that one from there we can't go out that way we won't fit so we back up spin a donut we do the doughnut all the way up onto here uh you my life no no I'm trying to figure out how you got up here remember how I said all these bars are here all these fence posts yeah so I was trying to figure out how you got up here oh I'm sorry yeah cuz you shouldn't be up here yeah that's what I was trying to figure out so that's what I was telling him I just walked all along the railroad down here and it looks like you came from Empire from the big white garbage trucks back there oh gosh you I didn't come that yeah she saying she came from more two hours ago Yak had she started drinking 3 hours ago okay how much have you had to drink as he was speaking with Shannon he detected the odor of alcohol and observed other indicators of impairment he was initially confused how her vehicle got on the train tracks because of the fencing around the tracks so he looked at the tire marks to retray her steps kofax police officer Joseph McCollum also spoke with Shannon as Deputy mil tried retracing her steps Shannon was then asked to perform field sobriety exercises and she agreed to do so had guess three drinks about three drinks like straight liquor or mix no it was like uh sorry beer with yeah beer with liquor okay all right hasn't stopped anymore except the off right here right here where you got stuck yeah do you have your ID yeah and I just really don't want to be like an [ __ ] to you guys you're not being you're not being rude at all you're being awesome I appreciate it I just want to be a really good person you are you're being kind I appreciate that any weapons in the vehicle no oh absolutely not all right sorry this is a uh VAP oh you're good okay you do you you guys leave uh you I smoke cigars I be her I'll go back work on I'm going to call Keith I know you have 544 in her outfit [Music] [Music] hey so she's parked up behind the RVs on Tyler Martin Street here stuck on the railroad tracks I didn't see her drive I just see the car stuck up there and she comes running across the street and goes up and gets in it and so I walk over here to I drive over here to contact her and the wheels are spinning she's trying to get unstuck uh obvious impairment for my opinion but well that's my question I I don't know when she drove there's an obvious Collision that occurred uh she hit the emergency stop and the concrete barricade best I can tell from the track she came from Empire disposal all the way up around here yes but she is completely stuck on cacks okay okay like Jo be because Joey showed up and instantly went there even though it's my contact so that's why I'm calling you to make sure I Meet The Elements because she doesn't have access to the roadway where she's at it's all fenced in it's all posts that she can't get out from she has to go clear around the backside of this private property to come out over Empire disposal which to be fair I think that's the site that she came in I see you okay where is she at she's in the car what is he doing he's iding her for me so she's stuck on the road it's not his call huh it's not his call to give away all Came Upon it so I'm I'm going to take it I'm just trying to
