I'm trying to figure out how you ended

middle of the road or No, I remember
driving and she didn't she didn't see

you? No. No. You were by yourself? Yeah.
Okay. Whose whose bottle of alcohol is
that in the car? Mine probably mine.
Probably yours. Yeah.
Okay. All right. Sit tight for me.
I'll write a supplement tomorrow. But do
you need an initial statement for me
about what I saw for your report? Yeah.
Sure. Witness statement. Well, I'm not
filling out a witness statement for, but
I'll give you a verbal statement if you
want to. And then I can you can just you
obviously say in your thing if you need
additional information. I also took this
was the only phone in my pocket at the
time but this was her when she was
initially stopped there. Um I took some
photos of her passed out and then she
was with the alcohol bottle. Um so you
can send me a link. I can just text
those to you. It doesn't matter. But uh
so I'm
driving eastbound on in the right lane
of Lacy Boulevard. As I'm pulling up, I
see a car stopped in the straight lane
with its left turn signal on. Obviously,
it's one way, so I thought it was kind
of weird. As I pull up, I see that the
other female vehicle is uh stopped over
in the right hand turn lane across from
her. Um, as I come up, the female's out
of her car. She kind of waves me down a
little bit. I get out. I say, "Hey,
what's going on?" She's on the phone um
with dispatch and she's like, "Oh, the
lady's passed out." I go up to the
vehicle. So, I take the phone for her
and I'm letting dispatch know the
information. Uh but then I go up to the
vehicle and I see the female unc pass
passed out uh in the driver's seat of
the vehicle. The car is in park. Her
foot is off of the brake. Um so it's
parked there and she's uh like the
music's playing, everything, all the
stuff's on. Uh I finished giving you
guys the information. Um we were maybe
here for like 3 minutes or so. I was
kind of watching. Then I got concerned
maybe it was a medical emergency. And so
I start hitting the window. I mean, I
was pounding on that window like 45
seconds a minute. The front of it, the
side of it, just really hitting it hard.
When I was on the phone dispatch, they
could hear it in the
background. No response. Uh after
probably like a minute, her eyes like
kind of flutter open. She puts the car
in drive. Doesn't put the gas on, but
puts the car in drive. And the car
starts pulling forward into the
intersection. And so obviously he's a
busy road I'm like hey kind of like
going off like stop the car like stop
stop and then finally when she pulls up
to here. So she was parked like
basically like directly in front of my
vehicle. I just pulled it right behind
her.
Um ends up stopping right there. I tell
her to turn the turn the car off, put
the car in park. Uh and then I I reached
in after I got her to unlock the door.
She rolled the window down. I unlock it.
I reach in. I turn the car off for her
and then she gives me the keys cuz I'm a
citizen and I can do that. Um, and then
I mean from there I didn't ask her any
questions, but I obviously saw the half
empty alcohol bottle and stuff in the
passenger seat and um, she was having a
really hard time like opening her eyes
and like focusing on me even when she on
that initial contact. Um, didn't seem
like she was like oriented at all. So,
did she deny medical or did medical just
clear? No, we for them to go. So, they
didn't check her out at all?
No.
Where where the keys at? I gave them to
you. Gave you what? The keys. They're on
the back hood of the car. Okay.
But that's all I got. And I'll write you
a supplement if there's anything else
you can me. Nope. Okay. I'm going home.
Thank you.
Still awake? Yeah.
Okay. Going to step
up. Watch your step. Stay right here.
Face the
car. You always bring him in through
this door, not the main
door. Go to your
right. See the seat to your right. Okay.
That's where we're going to sit. I'm
going to take you out of the cuffs.

You don't have to worry about writing
stuff down. You want to go down.
So, I just need to I need to do mouth

mouth. I just need to visually just look
in there and make sure there's nothing
in there. Open for me.
Lift your tongue up.

[Applause]
number. So, I want to at least shed some
light on you and uh probably was uh kind
of a bad time for you. Normally, we book
all DUIs, whether it's the first DUI or
not because we're having court system
issues tonight. You're going to be
provided a criminal citation, given a
court date, and you'll be allowed to go
home tonight. So, the sooner you can get
that phone from a partner, he'll make a
phone call to your friend. So we can get
her out here, assuming she's not
drinking at all, and she'll be able to
come pick you up once we're all done
here instead of you getting booked into
jail tonight. Sound good? Yeah.
So, take that. I'll talk to her.
