drink cuz none isn't an option
anymore that's not that's not the
answer I'm I just like give people
opportunities we're truth Seekers Sophia
everybody thinks we're the bad guys and
we're not I like to give people
opportunities to explain the truth
that's all I am as a truth Seeker right
so when we start off things on the wrong
foot meaning that you start off by
stretching the truth or lying to me I've
been doing this for 16 years I know when
somebody's been drinking and when they
haven't been drinking right so I'll ask
you one more time just to give you an
opportunity and do do you feel like you
should be driving and how much have you
had to drink
today
than that's Sophia we're going to let
you talk to your dad it's we're not
didn't do anything wrong okay that's
fine if that's what you choose to do
that that's completely fine okay I just
wanted to get to the bottom of it and
figure out exactly what you what um gave
you the opportunity to tell us exactly
what happened here today okay just
remember that okay what what happened
again I'm not going to go over it again
I've I've went over it now three times
with you exactly the reason why we out
with you here today Sophia the reason
we're going through all this is because
you smell like alcohol so we're ask
asking you to why do I I just came from
my patient house and you went off the
roadway and almost hit me on brancho
guinea Pike and Waverly Hill that's the
fourth time I've told you now and you
that seems to miss miss you somewhere in
this whole thing my dad was right behind

here Dad what do I do you turn around
and put your hands behind your back no
turn around and put your Sophia let's
not go that route let's not go that
route Dad let's not go that route we're
going to get you home and we're going to
make sure that you're okay we're going
to get you home after we dad help me
what do I do I didn't do anything wrong
dad Okay Sophia we've explained that to
you hang tight deep breath Sophia Sophia
if you remain polite Cooperative with us
we're going to do everything we can to
not take you and take you to jail cuz
you don't seem like a bad person to me
right so we're going to make sure that
you don't try to go to jail so make sure
hang tight for me Breathe It Out dad
talk to your dad if you want sir would
you like to talk to her we have to read
her something here in a minute so hang
tight for a couple
what's happening what the Sophia I got
to read this to you you have the right
to remain silent anything you say can
will be used against you in the court of
law you have the right to talk to a
lawyer having been present with you
while you're being questioned Sophia I
really need you to pay attention to me
for a second okay if you can't afford to
hire a lawyer while be appointed to
represent you before any questioning if
you wish do you understand all those
Sophia as I've read to you yes you okay
that's so you want to talk to your mom
or dad or anything like that
yes
okay what's going on they pulled me over
for all right so I
was W started to the to the station and
I'll explain everything that's going on
sopia we're head out to the all right
what happened was she Sophia almost hit
me coming off a branch W Hill Branch and
she went off under the grass we're going
to take pictures and all that good stuff
of the her coming off of the thing off
the off of the curb and all the turned
around came here she's holding a piece
of her C well her dad was holding the
piece of car and her in her hand and I
pulled have walked up on her and I said
what in the world just happened and she
smells like alcohol and we put her
through some field tests right here and
we found probable cause to arrest her
for operating a vehicle while
intoxicated or the probable cause I just
I just told you ma'am so failure to
control her vehicle and then I got
behind her and she breeds of
alcohol she was at work all day okay P
she did she do breathalyzer oh not yet
then we take her back to the station and
she can either refuse or submit to that
chemical test that we give her and then
we're going to give you the opportunity
to come get her if that's what you
choose to do the only bad part about the
whole entire thing is that the court has
sanctions on the vehicle so we have to
tow it but we'll let you get everything
out of it that you need it'll be in and
we're going to give you a business card
of exactly the toe company so you can go
right there and get it out if you choose
give us half an hour what is sanctions
on the so the court can say she can't
drive that car and put a club on it or
courts can do a whole bunch of stuff I
don't know I don't know what this is
from reference to her suspension if it's
an OVI or if it's a OVI that she had in
the previous year or something like that
there's even more sanctions on that uh
do you know what I mean we literally I
can go back to my computer right now and
figure it out I'll just ask you why is
she driving under suspension and why
does she have privileges is it for an
Obi what is it called uh Reckless
something Reckless operation so yeah so
she got arrested for Obi and it got pled
down to a reckless operation or anything
like that that would be um something
that the court I don't do penalties I
don't do court right here in your um
driveway unfor fortunately what we Act
is probable cause right so we have a
court hearing you she Le guilty not
guilty all that good stuff but those are
just increase sanctions that you would
get okay okay that's all that's the long
score that's the long skinny of
everything okay
okay
no nope this car over here
[Music]
my mom Sophia do you have anything in
your pockets other than just your phone
I my phone and I
have
um I I might have fruit snacks my kid
that's all I
need nope just hang on to it no weapons
or anything on no no okay I'm going have
you have a
seat okay okay can I take these off nope
they have to be on okay so I'm going to
have you turn your legs over that way
okay I'm going to seat belt you in oh
no all right
all right we're going to walk inside
here
okay go Ahad and slide your feet out
first
okay go you're going to come back right
back
here and then we're going to walk
towards this door right over there okay
I'm going to have you step in this room
over
here and I'm going to have you are you
going to be good with this where I can
get those cuffs off yeah okay turn
around here hang on let me get those
cuffs off
all right go have a seat
okay just hang on a second I'm going to
have to read you something
okay Soph I'm going to give this to you
so you can follow along as I read
okay my parents going come yeah we'll
give you you we got your phone out there
so you can go ahead and call them and
everything after we're done okay
as soon as he gets back I'm going to go
ahead and read something to
you all I did
was what did I
do so Sergeant Tobias has already told
you multiple
[Music]
times haven't got that far yet
okay if yes let me do the cration first
okay matter fact
maam why don't you go over there and
have a seat in that room why why he read
that to you or did he read it to you
already I was waiting for back okay let
me do this real quick for
[Music]
okay is that all the information uh the
make model is up front and then her
information is on the back
too okay
I just got to write this stuff down real
quick Sophia just bear with me for a
second what Char are doing we will go
ahead and start by reading the top of
this and I'll have you follow along
okay so you are now under arrest for OVI
if you refuse to take any chemical test
as required by law your high driver
licenses privileges will be suspended
immediately and if you and you will have
to pay a fee to have the Privileges
reinstated if you take a chemical test
you may have an independent chemical
test taken at your own expense
okay so now we will go ahead and you're
not a commercial driver the mobilization
and forfeiture doesn't matter um what
what is your suspension I have a
property damage report pending what is
your
liced F ripped out of mailx re
D and then I have privileges for to and
from work okay okay have you ever had a
conviction of oovi in the past
okay yeah it doesn't look like
it looks like you're on a cord
suspension for a minor
offense okay so you asked before what
your options are right okay so down here
at the bottom
it
says
for a
refusal for no priors if you refuse to
take a test it's one year okay um if you
for the if you're over the prohibited
concentration so say if you took the
test and you're over the
88 then you would have a suspension for
90 days with no priors okay so those are
the two options for that you can either
take the test or you can refuse and
that's up to you you're
okay okay okay so what would you like to
do refuse you want to refuse yep okay I
think that's what 80 to
39 I'm going to go ahead and let you
think about it for a second my boss was
calling Mead
contr
okay yeah well it would be the fair
control the OVI and the driving under
suspension well no she had privileges so
never
mind yeah but
uh um we're getting to that point I just
read her the 2255
okay okay sounds good
byebye sorry he was catching me up on
something
um I I I can't tell you what to do I can
only just offer you the
options um my supervisor said that the
their family is following him and
they're going to be coming here and
parked up
top so hang on so regardless of whatever
happens today you're going to be sighted
and then you will be released to your
family side for uh OVI and Reckless
operation Reckless operation would be
you driving into the grass and almost
hitting a police
cruiser okay okay so that goes back to
like your two options and let you think
about it so that's like I said it's
completely up to you do you would you
like to take the test or would you like
to
refuse I was told to not take the
test okay that's up to
you I guess not take it
okay it like I said it doesn't matter to
me it's just a two options that are
afforded to you take it and
do you want me to point that out to you
again no okay so for the refusal it
looks like regardless for the refusal
you get a suspension for a year right
and then if you take the test and you
test above the prohibited
concentration then you would have a
90-day
suspension
so okay
so 90
versus one year new year
basically okay again I can't force you
to do right anything
yeah I
don't check the welfare on Union Street
for a 2-year-old female call hasn't
spoken with her or her mother a few days
and if I do the test and I blow your Z
it's if you don't blow over the
concentrated limit then you do not have
a
suspension like I said it's up to you we
just need to know if I if I submit it's
0.0 charges are
dropped no you're still getting the
citation and everything else from all
the investigation and everything that's
led up to this point the test as far as
you submitting the test is only based on
the suspension everything is going to be
in totality which goes to the court but
today you'll be leaving with a citation
for OVI and a reckless op swing Corner
because you're under arrest
for that's not going to
change I'll
lo you know that how based off of field
tests and observ
okay so do you want to take the test or
no okay hang out here we got some
paperwork and stuff we got to do as soon
as we're done with the paperwork we give
