reason why the employees over there at
the dentist office would say that you

Um, I I don't believe so. It's not like
walking funny or like talking funny.
Is there anything that you think you

say something to them? Haven't uh

because as soon as we got uh over there
that uh they said you were over here.
So, all right. Well, I'm coming up. I'm
not going to sit here. Am I Am I like
under arrest or anything or No, you're
not. But based on what you're saying of
you taking medication and them saying
the certain thing, oh, I'd like to run
you through some tests to make sure that
you're safe to drive home with your kid.
Hang out. Can I Do you want me to park

leave it there. Okay. Watch her. I'm

to drive. Okay. Uh, what exactly
medications do you take? What's the name
of them? I just started a new one.
Starts with an A, but I take uh I take
I take L something. I don't know. It's a
new one. Do you want my husband a check?
No. No, that's all right. And which of
those did you take today? Um, all of
them because I med I'm prescribed all of
them. Okay. You're supposed you're
supposed to take all those around the
same time. I take in the morning, my

Okay. All right. Uh, so first I just
want to check your eyes. Uh, do you have
any eye problems or abnormalities? Um, I
have glasses. Okay. But no contacts,
though. No. All right. Um, so what I'm
going to do is put your feet together
just like so. And keep your hands at
your sides. So, I know it's a little
cold out. You don't have a jacket on,
but yeah, keep them at your side. So,
out of your pocket. Um, for this test,
you're going to keep your head still.
You're going to follow the movement of
the tip of my finger um with your eyes
only. Are you going to tell me when?
Yeah. I'll tell you when. Okay. You're
going to keep keep following the tip of
my finger with your eyes only. I tell
you until I tell you to stop. Does that
make sense? Just follow the tip of your
finger and tell you when to stop. Okay.
All right. All right. Go ahead and
follow my finger.
Can I move my head? No.
I'm getting
[Applause]
sleepy. You're making me a little dizzy
now. Okay, mom's done.
Not moving the head. Sorry.
All right. Very good. Do you have any
physical problems, disabilities,
anything that prevent you from walking
in a straight line? Um, no. I have
asthma. That's about it. Okay.
Allergies. Okay. Um, so what I what I
want you to do is imagine a line in
front of you. If you want, you can use
like the seam of the concrete here. Uh,
place your foot on that line. One foot.
Uh, yeah. Place your left foot on the
line. There you go. And now place your
right foot in front of it or on the on
the line ahead of your left foot. Yep.
With the heel of your right foot against
the toe of your left foot. And place
your arms at your sides just like the
first one. I'll show you what it looks
like. So I got my left foot like
started. My right foot and my arms at
sides just like this. Okay. So go ahead
and get that and get in that position.
My foot. Okay. Left foot. Now right
foot. Now arms at your sides. Okay.
Sorry. All right. Now arms at your
sides. Now, stay in that
position. Don't walk until I tell you
to. Do you understand the instructions
so far? I do. All right. Very good. When
I say begin, take nine heel toe steps on
the line and turn around and take nine
heel toe steps back on the line. Make
your turn by keeping your front foot on
that line and turn by taking a series of
small steps with the other foot. I'll
show you what it looks like. The line
and he's making me nervous. Well, yeah.
Don't start yet. Yeah. You have to get

feet at all times and count your steps
out loud. Did you hear what I said? Uh,
keep your arms at your side. Yep. And
no, I didn't because I was your Okay,
I'll say it again. Keep your arms at
your sides, not
behind. Watch your feet at all times.
And count your steps out loud. Okay.
Just like I did. Once you start walking,
don't stop until you have completed that
test. Does that make sense? Nine steps.

[Applause]
Did I pass that one?
Um, it's not a pass fail test. Just
different things that we look for. Can I
roll this window up? Uh, yeah. Yeah. Go
ahead. Keep her
warm. All right. One of the last ones
I'm going to have you do. Um, again,
feet together, arms at your sides. So,
when I tell you to uh and not prior I
tell it to, you're going to tilt your
head back slightly and you're going to
close your eyes until you think 30
seconds has passed. Do you understand
that? 30 seconds. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Do
you understand? I do. I understand. My
heart's a little racy right now. So, why
is that? I don't know. Standing outside
with two placements. All right. Okay.
Uh, so I'll show you what it looks like.
You're going to set your head back like
this, and you're going to close your
eyes. Okay. Ready? Start.
I'm keeping my eyes closed the whole
time. Yep.
Okay. Am I good? 30 seconds, right? You
think that's 30? Yeah. Okay. Maybe 40.
Okay, you can stop. So, where did your
husband go? Uh to get my son off the
bus. Oh, gotcha.
Okay.
Why is there a problem? Uh, yeah. We're
going to have to wait for him. He didn't
pass my test. So, yeah, you're under
arrest for DUI. DUI prescription drugs.
That's right. Uh, I'm not going to put
you in handcuffs right now in front of
your daughter. Are you serious? Yeah,
I'm serious.
I mean, it's freezing out
here. Can we do it again then? Nope.
Can't you like or lie to me or
something? Oh, I don't need to. I don't
think it's alcohol.
I don't understand though. I mean, DUI
for what? My medication. Absolutely. And
how is that? Why is that? How am I
acting that means? Uh the the test that
you did, there was indicators that
you're impaired because someone that's
not impaired would be able to do the
test without all the indicators that you
showed to me. Because of my
balance. I don't know. I'm just so
nervous.
I mean, what does that mean? Do I mean,
I understand driving under the
influence, uh, there's different
categories. There's cannabis, there's
alcohol, um, there's illegal drugs, and
there's also legal drugs. On all these
prescriptions, they say, um, you
shouldn't operate heavy machinery or
your motor vehicles while taking this
medication.
But that wasn't I mean, I didn't get
pulled over.
You were in your car. You were in
complete physical control. You had your
daughter in the back and you drove from
over there to here. But I'm saying you
did not pull me over. I don't have to
pull you over.
How do I fight that? Uh, I can't give
you legal advice. Um, we're going to go
through a process here in a little bit
and I'll explain everything the best I
can. Can I call my husband or?
Um, yeah. I don't I don't see why not.
The DUI is that like the same as
alcohol like equipment fee or Yeah, it's
the same equivalent. It's like a 10,000.
So instead of being impaired on alcohol,
it's impaired on prescription drugs.
I don't get that. I'm not impaired on
prescription drugs. You don't think you
are? My my medication.
Can you tell me exactly what I failed?
Uh it's going to be in the police report
that I'll have to do. Um but you just
told me. So field sobriety test uh
there's indicators of impairment on the
field soiety test. That's that's what we
call it. And you agree with this? I do
agree. Okay. So you need to bring the
prescription or something. Uh if you
want to that's totally up to you. It's
not necessary. It's cuz it won't get me
off the bus or anything, right? No.
So what now? Uh I I just want to wait
for your husband to to get your
daughter. Okay. And then I have to go to
the station. Um so first we're going to
have to go to the hospital. I'm gonna
I'm gonna have to have you I'm gonna
request that you provide a blood sample.
Okay. If I don't do that, uh, your
license gets suspended. Okay. And then
we go to the station. Yeah. Like how how
was I acting that made made me get
called on? Uh, that's something I got to
follow up with them about.
Well, I mean, they obviously called you
for something. Yeah, they called because
they're concerned about you and they
thought you seemed off and then uh when
I run you feel through field sobriety
test that's consistent with uh behavior
that's not normal and I believe that
you're impaired. So, can you tell me
what behaviors were not normal? Just
that like Well, I couldn't stand. Again,
I've talked with them about specifics.
Oh, as far as the the testing um Yeah.
And there's a whole bunch. Um like the
balance thing. I mean, yeah, you
couldn't balance. You brought your foot
down. You um you bent your knee. You
didn't keep it straight. Okay. I didn't
I You hopped. You brought your arms up.
Oh, I mean, yeah. I'm freezing.
I'm just like my muscles are so tense
right now because I'm cold.
And there's only so much information I
can give you. Uh when all this is over,
there's going to be a nice long police
report that'll detail everything. And
you're you're giving me under the
arrest. You can at least tell me why.
Like what? Yes, I failed whatever you
think I failed. But
what you didn't pull me over cuz I was
driving
and I was parked. Okay. Did you drive
from over there to over here?
Then I uh Yes, you did. Okay. Do you
normally park like this? And I was
looking for my wallet to go through.
Diagonal. Yes. Diagonal. So I get my
wallet and then continue my turn. Got
it. For your medications. Can I ask is
all the same prescribing doctor or
different doctors? Same doctor.
And you're prescribed to take all of
those? All of them? Yes, I am. Did your
doctor tell you anything about not
taking them before driving? Um no, she
did not. And right now we're going
through some
experimental drugs to see what's working
best for me. And like I mentioned
earlier, I just switched
to something
else off of something because I was
making weird faces with the and with
depression drugs, it messes my mind up
sometimes. And so so far taken this
combination of uh prescriptions. Do you
feel like you act a certain different
way? Um I did with the and that's why
she took me off of it
and you know I'm on this other one and I
thought I was feeling better. So am I
acting like a crazy then? Uh no I I
never said crazy. I just I just think
that you see those people
that's not what I'm calling you. I just
think that you're impaired on the
prescription. So, I think it has the
ability. How long does a DUI stay on
your record or like how does that work?
Um, that that's up to the Secretary of
State depending on the outcome of the
case.
Can I grab a blanket out of my car?
Where in your car is it? It's over here.
In the trunk? Yeah.
This is the husband over here.
