Located at 258 Westshore Plaza to investigate a motor vehicle crash. She arrived on scene and noticed that a white 2017 Kia Ford had sustained frontend damages after striking 2023 Tesla. She made contact with the driver of the Kia who was identified as Angelique Zoho Banks. As she was speaking with Angelique, she observed indicators of impairment and called for a DUI officer to respond and investigate further. I'm sorry. Like, get me.

I mean, were you guys going back and forth in the car or anything like that or No. Okay. All right. Angelique, I'm seeing some things in your eyes that's giving me some concern as far as your level of sobriety. If I should do a couple other field sobriety exercises, would you willing to do them for me? Yeah. Okay. I see you got high heels on. The rest of the exercises are going to include taking nine heel to toe steps and then standing on one foot. Do you want to take your shoes off? No. You want to leave them on? Okay. All right. Tell you what, uh, Angelique, let's um, can you walk over this way for me? Hey, will you stand by with her for a second? Will you just stand right there on my flashlight? I'm going to move my car.

We're located in the parking lot in front of you. All right, Angelique, come over this way for me. All right. I'm going to have you stand right here on my flashlight. All right. So, you're going to turn around, face back towards the the store here. So, do you see this white line right here? What I want you to do is put your left foot on that white line. There you go. Take your right foot, touch heel to toe in front of your left foot. I have heels on though. I know. Do you want to take your shoes off? Kind of. Yeah. Take your shoes off. Hold on. Let me hold you. All right. All right. So, left foot on the line, right foot touch heel to toe in front of your left foot. Okay. Make sure you're touching heel to toe. There you go. Hands on by your side. And then just stay like that until I tell you to begin. Okay. When I tell you to begin, what I want you to do is take nine heel totoe steps down the line. Okay? I want you to keep your hands down by your side. I want you to look down at your feet and I want you to count each step out loud as you take it. Nine. Nine of them. Okay? So, it's going to look like this. One, two, three. So, four. So, until nine. Now, once you get to nine, you're going to keep your front foot still. You're going to take your back foot off the line and then take a series of small steps to turn around just like this. Okay. Okay. Once you get turned back around, you're going to take nine more heel to toe steps back down the line just like you did the first time with your first step being number one. So, one, two, three, so forth, so until nine. Okay? Once you start, I don't want you to stop. Do you have any questions? No. Do you understand the instructions? Okay. Make sure you're touching right foot, heel to toe in front of your left. So, this is this is like No, this is zero. Okay. Hands down by your side. Yep. So, right. Yep. So, the first time you move is going to be step number one. You want me to touch my one here? Hang on. Shoot. So every time you here, take a step back. Take a step back. So every time you step you you step, you're going to touch heel to toe. Okay. So this is zero. The first time you go is going to be one. Okay. One like that? Nope. So right now this is zero. Your right foot in front is going to be zero. Okay. Okay. Count. So, one 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 How do you want me to do it? Just like I showed you and just like I explained to you.

Yep. Right there. Which one? This side or this side? Whichever. I don't I don't care. So, feet together, hands on by your side. When I tell you to begin, what I want you to do is raise one foot approximately 6 in off the ground. So, 6 in is about the length of a dollar bill. Can of Coke. I'm not going to measure, just in that ballpark. Okay? So, you can be your left or right foot, whichever one you prefer. I'm going to show you raising my right if you feel like raising your left. I don't care. That's fine. All right. So, you're going to keep both legs straight. You're going to keep your hands down by your side. You're going to raise one foot approximately 6 in off the ground. Point your toe forward in front of you to keep your foot parallel with the ground below you. I want you to look down at your toe and then count out loud 100 1 2 1 1003 1004 so forth so on until I tell you to stop. Now if for whatever reason you put your foot down, just pick it right back up and continue where you left off. Okay. Do you have any questions? I don't think so. Okay.
