Hello. Hello. Officer Carpenter, Pullman
Police. So, I'm stopping you because you
did not stop at the stop sign coming off
Monroe on the stadium. That was a roll.
All right. Can I see your driver's
license, registration, insurance,
please? So, 100% don't have my wallet on
me. I was just dropping friends off
really quick. Um, I have no
registration, but could you look up my
license? Do you want to grab your
registration for me, please?
Um, do you know where the ex is there
like a expiration on
here? Oh, okay. This should be the car.
All right. And how much have you had to
drink tonight? I Okay. Would you step
out of the vehicle for me, please?
[Applause]
We can just come on the sidewalk right
up
[Applause]
here. You blow my finger, please. Go
hard. So, I'm getting an odor of
alcohol. So, how much have you really
had to drink tonight? I've drank prior
in the night, but not anytime recently.
Okay. When do you think you had your
last drink about? Probably within two
plus hours ago. Okay. Yeah. Would you be
willing to take some voluntary field
sobriety tests? Yeah. Okay, let's do
that. Actually, right here is probably
the flattest that we're going to get.
Okay. Would you turn my lights down one
more notch? Thank you. Turn that down so
it's not quite so bright. Yeah.
All
right. Pullman 458 testing. Okay. Let's
just scoot this way a little bit just so
it's a little flatter here.
Okay. Any drugs at all today?
Prescription medications? Anything like
that? Okay. Do you wear contacts? No,
ma'am. Okay. Have you ever had a
traumatic brain injury? Been diagnosed
with a concussion? Concussion. Okay. Can
you hold that for me, please? Okay. So,
while I'm walking you through these, I
am evaluating you both on your ability
to follow my instructions and on your
performance on the tests. So, I'm not
trying to trick you. If you have
questions, if you want to see something
again, please just let me know and I'm
happy to demonstrate it or answer your
questions. Okay? All right. So, for the
first test, I'll have you stand with
your feet together, arms down by your
sides for me. Thank
you. All right. And I'm going to have
you look at the tip of my pen here and
follow the tip of my pen with your eyes
and only your eyes. Okay? They don't
move your head at all.
All
right. Tilt your chin down just a little
bit for me, please. All
right. I always hate that perk cuz I'm
short. Okay. So, for this next test, I'm
going to put you into a starting
position. I'll tell you when you're
there, and then I'll have you stay in
that starting position while I explain
the rest of the test. Okay. Can you move
back a little bit? H Can you move back
this way a little bit? Sure. Thank you.
Let's get this way a little bit. All
right. So, I want you to imagine a
straight line coming out from in front
of your left foot. Okay. And can you put
your foot on that line for me? And then
your right foot in front of your left
foot touching heel to toe.
Do you want me to just Yes, please.
Okay. Nope. I'm just going to put you
into that starting position and then
I'll explain the rest of it. Okay. All
right. So, again, straight line coming
out from the front of your left foot.
Right foot in front of your left foot
touching heel to toe. All right. And put
your hands down by your sides for me,
please. All right. So, stay in that
position until I begin. Okay? So, when I
tell you to begin, you're going to take
nine heel to toe steps down that
imaginary line. When you reach step
number nine, you'll leave your lead foot
planted and take a series of small steps
around your lead foot with your back
foot and take nine heel totoe steps
returning back down that line. I'm going
to demonstrate that for you in just a
second. So your first step will be step
number
one. This is a continuous test. So once
you begin, complete the entire test as I
instructed. Okay? Make sure you're
looking down at your feet and leave your
hands by your sides. Okay? All right.
I'm demonstrate that for you. All right.
All right. So, your first step will be
step number one,
two, three. Leave that lead foot
planted. Take a series of small steps
around that lead foot with your back
foot. And then one, two, three. I did
three for demonstration purposes. You're
going to do nine. Do you have any
questions? No. Would you like to see
that again? No, you're fine. Okay. Can
you get back into that position for me?
Perfect. Okay, you can go ahead and
begin.
And then just turn around it. Just do
the whole thing as I instruct. Okay.
Okay. So, I'm going to demonstrate this
one while I explain it. All right. So,
when I tell you to begin, actually, I'll
have you stand with your feet together,
arms down by your sides again for me,
please. Thank you. Okay. When I tell you
to begin, you're going to lift one of
your feet, either or you pick, at least
6 in off the ground. You're going to
lock your knees so your legs are
straight and your foot is parallel to
the ground. And you're going to look
down at your raised foot. Obviously, I'm
not going to do that for safety reasons,
but you'll look at your raised foot.
Leave your arms by your sides. While
looking at your raised foot, they'll
count out loud. 1 10 1 2 1 100 3 and so
on until I tell you to stop. Okay. Okay.
All right. All right. You can go ahead
and begin.
1,001
100,0005
[Applause]
1006789
123 16 17 18
2019 2021
2023 245
126278.
All right, you can stop.
Okay, so the last one's just a voluntary
breath sample. Doesn't replace the value
of any test I might ask you to take in
the future. You said you had your last
drink about 2 hours ago. Have you had
anything to eat since then?
Okay. All right. Have you ever taken one
of these before? So, you're going to
wrap your lips around the tube, kind of
like a straw, and blow into it.
steady kind of as hard as you can for as
long as you can until you hear it beep
when she folds it out of your mouth
there.
Nope. It's totally voluntary. It just
gives me the best estimate of where
you're actually at cuz you said you
drank 2 hours ago and so this is the
best estimate that we get of that.
You're willing to go ahead and take a
deep breath and go. Um, so what happens
if I refuse a breathalyzer? Is there
anything else? is totally voluntary, but
right now get given how cold it is, I'm
trying to determine if you're doing
poorly on some aspects of the the test
because of the weather or it's because
of the alcohol. And this is the only
thing that's not affected by the alcohol
or not affected by the weather. I'm
sorry. And it's solely by any alcohol
that you've consumed. So that's why I
was I was asking that one is loud. Yeah.
Yep. But ultimately, it's up to you. I
understand that, but also I mean I would
hope that you would not think that I was
intoxicated. Well, your eyes looked like
you were potentially intoxicated and
then yet you missed some steps on the
walk and turn. And so I'd like to see
how much of that is the weather and how
much of that is what you had to
drink. I understand that.
So, yes or no?
I guess what are my options? You can
take the breathalyzer or you can not
take the breathalyzer. But as of right
now, I think you're impaired by
something. Okay? You know, whether
that's alcohol or contributed to by
drugs like marijuana or something else
like that. But right now, I I think
you're potentially impaired. So, you can
either do the PBT and that gives me the
best estimate of where you're actually
at and if you're being honest with me,
or I have to make my decision about
whether or not you go to jail for DUI
solely based off of what I've already
seen.
Okay.
At this point, I think we just have to
make a decision. I'm
going.
Okay. All
right.
Maybe it's doing its internal test. So,
it's showing all zeros right now.
All right. So, big deep breath
in here. See, it says blow. So, big deep
breath
in. Big deep breath
in. All right. And blow out as hard as
you can. Blow harder. Blow harder. Blow
harder. Blow harder. Blow harder. Blow
harder. Blow harder. Keep going. Blow.
Blow. Blow. Blow. Blow. Blow. Blow.
Blow. Blow. Blow. Blow. Perfect. All
right. And you can watch it with me. It
doesn't Oh, it doesn't go up. It just
Well, we give you the result.
You said you were just picking up a
friend, correct?
Where's she supposed to be going? I'm
just taking from literally
just the
apartments. All right. So, 136. So,
that's a lot more than two drinks.
All right. You said you had a couple of
drinks about two hours ago. Correct. All
right. But a 136 is a lot more than
that. So, you are under arrest for DUI.
Go ahead and turn around. Put your hands
behind your back for me, please. Just
relax your arms. Relax your arms.
I'm just going to pull this sweater off
of your Okay. So, you're being audio and
video recorded. The time is 0 to 44
hours and it is January 25th, 2025. Yep.
Let's go this way.
Okay. So, I am going to read you your
constitutional rights.
Okay. You have the right to remain
silent. Anything you say can be used
against you in a court of law. You have
the right at this time to talk to a
lawyer and have him present with you
while you're being questioned. If you
cannot afford to hire a lawyer, one will
be appointed to represent you before
questioning if you wish. You can decide
at any time to exercise these rights and
not answer any questions or make any
statements. Do you understand the rights
that I've read you? Can you tell me yes
or no? I don't. Okay, awesome. Um, we
have to move your car. Um, or h have it
towed. If you give me permission, I'm
happy to drive your car into the parking
lot and park it. What would you like me
to do? My roommate and my friend. How
are they going to get home? Well, um,
where's home for them? It's in two
different locations.
Okay, I will talk to them about that.
So, did do I have permission or do I
need to tow your car? Please.
Okay. So, I have permission to drive
your car. Okay. Is there anything you
want out of your car? Your phone or your
wallet or your
keys? Like, please.
Where is it? In the
car. Should be plugged in. My friend
should be able to grab it. Should be
just in the front. Okay. So, phone.
Okay. Well, and I assume you want your
car keys. Well, driving. Yeah, I'll
bring those.
Yeah. Somebody asked us to lock him in
his car the other day is why I asked.
So, all right. We're going to go to this
first car here on the passenger
side. Okay. Do you have anything sharp
in your pockets? Anything that's going
to poke, stick, or cut
me? Okay. Here. Take a step back away
from that curb. I don't want you to
fall. Go ahead and widen your stance for
me,
please. Widen your
stance. Little bit further, please.
Thank
you. Go ahead and
search. Can you widen your stance?
My body came on. I've got mine on. Okay,
cool. All right, back of the
hand. Okay, switch
sides. There you go. There we go. It's
been a
while.
Let's see that
side. I'm going to get this unlocked.
[Music]
Look at that.
All right. So, you are being audio and
video recorded in the vehicle as well.
Okay. Go ahead and have a seat.
I'm going to be taken in and for how
long I'm going to be there. I'm sorry.
What was that? Can I ask where I'll be
taken in for how long I'll be there?
Yeah. So, I'll explain the whole process
on the way. Okay. Just feed in there for
me, please. Like I said, I'm not going
to keep anything. I'm not tricking you.
There's no mystery. I'll tell you
exactly where we're going in just a
second. Have you ever been arrested for
DUI
before? Okay. Thank
you. Oh, and thank
you. Watch your hair here.
All right, you can go ahead and step
out. Watch out for the door here. Okay,
we're going to walk this way towards
this
door.
Perfect. And
here. And towards the wall on the right
so that the door doesn't whack you.
Towards the wall on the right. This way.
Towards the wall. There we go.
All
right. And right through
here. How much time you got left? Uh,
I'm about to restart my observation
period. She just requested an attorney.
Okay. Right. Take care if we kind of set
in. No, you're good. Yeah. Do what you
got to do. All right. Have a seat in
that brown chair for me, please. Karma.
Thank you.
Uh, if you want to grab a tote and put
it in
there. Karma, sit
down. Karima, sit down, please. I can't
breathe. Try to take some deep breaths.
Can we please get a tissue?
Sure. There you
go. Right
here.
Tissues. There you
go. Here. I'll help you
out. There you go. I can't breathe.
Karina,
try to try to slow your breathing down.
[Music]
Can I please
[Music]
have the sooner we get through this
stuff, the sooner you get out of
handcuffs.
This is so embarrassing.
Well, Karema, the sooner we get through
this, the sooner you get out of
handcuffs. What do you need me to do?
Just
You just got to go through the
paperwork. Please, just tell me. Ask me
wherever you want.
Okay. So, the first thing I need to do
is take a look in your mouth. Okay. Open
your mouth. Okay. Lift up your tongue
for me. Okay. Tilt your chin down. Thank
you. Any foreign substances or anything
like that in your mouth? All
right. All right. So now I need you to
make sure you're not bringing anything
up to your mouth, okay? You're putting
your hands near your mouth. That's why
you have to stay in handcuffs for that
part of the
process. All
right. So I'm going to keep reading you
stuff. Is there
anyone? All right. So this next bit is
kind of long. I'm happy to read it again
if you don't understand it the first
time I read it.
Okay. Warning. You are under arrest for
RCW4661502 or
RCW4661504 driving or being in actual
physical control of a motor vehicle
while under the influence of
intoxicating liquor and or drugs.
Further, you are now being asked to
submit to a test of your breath, which
consists of two separate samples of your
breath taken independently to determine
alcohol concentration. Will you now
submit to a breath test?
Yeah, it's the only option I really
have. Um, is there a bond under my
name? No. So, because you haven't been
arrested for DUI before, you'll be
released without bail. Okay. And after
about 6
hours. Okay.
This is happening you guys a
lot. This is something that we do a lot.
Yes. It's really [ __ ] hard to see
every time.
You know what? You didn't hit anybody
and that we're not contacting you
because you hit another vehicle or you
hit a pedestrian. So, let's be grateful
for that at this
point and not speculate about other
people's contact.
It wasn't a negative
You can't turn away from me. I have to
be able to see your
mouth. Okay. So, this is your initial
court appearance. Pay attention to
this. And this after you sign it, you
will get a copy of this and I'll get one
as well. So the 27th, so Monday at 3:00
p.m. in Kfax, right? The Kfax office.
The address is right here at 300 p.m.
Monday 3 p.m. KFax office. 27th 3 p.m.
KFax office. Okay. That can't be waved,
changed, modified for any reason
whatsoever. You do have to appear in
person.
Yep.
Where were you born? Seattle,
Washington.
So, how long will I have to be here? 6
hours.
And do I get my phone? No.
Do I get a call? No, this is not a jail.
You're not being booked into the county
jail. So, you don't get a phone call. If
you are booked into the county jail,
that is when they give you that phone
call that you're obligated
to. This is just a holding facility.
So, I'll be in a holding cell for 6
hours and then you have my phone,
correct? Yep. We have your phone and
your car keys.
And where will my car keys be delivered?
You will be provided with all of your
property when you're released. Where did
they where do they take the car?
The same place we parked your car when
we talked about it earlier in the
Pullman Family Medicine parking
lot. Still parked there. And then do you
have any idea on where my friend was?
Officer Landley gave him a ride
home. What time is
it? Almost 4:00 a.m.
I have to be able to see your mouth
coming. Thank you.
Around what hour will I be? 6 hours from
now.
10:00. Yep.
said you are stealing someone's
record. I believe they're permanent
unless you ask and petition the court to
have something taken off of your record
after a period of time. I'm not sure how
long that time period is before you can
petition to have it removed.
But unless you're planning to become a
commercial truck driver, most jobs are
not It won't accept you law school if
you have a DUI.
given the period of time between your
DUI and your application to law school.
I assume it's similar to becoming a cop.
It's about 10 years. But at that point,
they will take you.
That point what? At that point, they
will take
you. But that's a guess based on the
amount of time that you have to have
between a DUI arrest and becoming a
cop. About 10 years. 5 to 10 years
depending on the agency.
Do you know anyone that's that's going
on with DUI?
Not a DUI, but I know that there are
cops in my academy class who had gotten
a DUI and had to wait a couple years to
get in there. I just don't know anybody
that works here particularly.
Places that do backgrounds like that
care a lot more about whether or not
you've learned from the behavior than if
it happened in the first place.
It is expensive, but you're sitting here
instead of costing somebody their life.
So, this is a better alternative than
that.
Do you guys have water? So, you can't
put anything in your mouth until after
this test is done. But after that, I
will give you a cup and you can have
water.
I'm sorry. I have to be able to see your
mouth, please.
We have a minute left on this timer and
then you'll be able to do this.
All right, go ahead and stand up for me,
please. So, you're going to wrap your
lips around the tube and blow
out.
Steady. Don't stop or suck in. I will
pull it out when it's done. and
otherwise it'll count it as a refusal.
Okay, big deep breath
in and
blow. Keep going. Keep going. Keep
going. Almost there. Keep going. Keep
going. Keep going. Almost done. Keep
going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep
going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep
going. All right.
You can sit back down if you'd like
that. It has
to do its internal tests in between the
two. All
right. Last one.
It requires
two. Big deep breath
in and
bl. Keep going. Keep going. Keep
going. Almost there. Keep going. Keep
going. Keep
going. Almost. Almost. Almost.
Make sure I took
it. Okay, you can take her out of
handcuffs.
I didn't say what it was. It will when
it prints out.
It will when it prints
out. All right. So, this is again your
initial court appearance and your
promise to appear. So, Monday the 27th
at 3 p.m. in Kfax. And I do need a
signature from you right there just
saying that you will appear for court.
And again, that is in person and it
cannot be waved,
changed, or modified. And you will get a
copy of this so you know when to show
up. Can you put that in the pass? Thank
you. Okay. So, these are your breath
test results, right? So, the legal limit
in the state of Washington is a 0.08.
You blew 091, 091, 097, 098. And that's
lower than what you blew in the field,
which was a 136 because you were in
there talking to the attorney for about
an
hour. And this is your copy here. All
right. So, here's your
blanket. He put a cup in the cell for
you. So, you're going to go in cell A
right there.
And then, how does it work when I
release? So, in about 6 hours, somebody
will photograph you, fingerprint you,
and hand you paperwork. And then you'll
be released from here and you'll be able
to sit in the lobby which is warm and
make any phone calls that you need to
help get picked up so that you don't
have to walk anywhere.
I like your pancake. Thank you.
All right. Right in there. I'm not going
to take your socks. Please don't flood
my holding facility by pushing them in
the toilet.
So, we're supposed to take your socks
because people like to flood the toilet.
Yeah. If you put them in the toilet,
nobody will ever get to keep their socks
again. Okay. Not going near that. All
right. You are good to go right in
there, please. Yep. Don't want the light
on.
Can I get shoes first?
You can't wear any kind of shoes in
there. No, just tissues. Oh, tissues.
Um, yeah, you can have a tissue.
box. No, just go. All right.
Yeah, it's kind of a weird
key. A
little Thank you.
[Music]
All
right. Fingerprints, photographs, and
paperwork, and you will be out of
here. All right. So, this is your
criminal citation for DUI. It looks like
a traffic ticket, but it's not, right?
So, your information's at the top. If
there's anything that's not correct or
changes, you need to get a hold of the
court right away and let them know. It's
your responsibility to make sure that
they have correct information. If they
send mail or try to get a hold of you
and they can't, they'll issue a warrant
for your arrest. Vehicle information is
right there. What you're charged with is
right here. My information, case number,
citation number, all at the top if you
need those. Court contact info is up
here. So, in addition to that initial
appearance on Monday, you will also hear
from the prosecutor's office by mail
within about three
weeks of your arrest. And so, keep an
eye on your mail and that will have
instructions as far as what to do next
stepwise for court. And this is your
copy. You get to keep it along with your
copy of your breath results. And you can
put all of your stuff back
on. and you can sit in the lobby for as
long as you need to to make phone calls
to try to get a cab to come pick you
up. Okay, so that door right there, push
on it, it'll let you through. There'll
be a little hallway and then another
door. That other door will lead out into
the lobby where you're welcome to sit
and make phone calls until you can find
a
ride. Heat. Heat. N.
