get back over into the turn lane turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turninging onto WH Jackson okay so you guys or what is it called i always say the names used to be Line Street i'm not from here originally so it's it's it's WH Jackson okay so just so I'm clear and I'm understanding the portrait we're painting here you guys are southbound from O'Galli when you get near the area of Jackson southbound on US one you see her is she in the center lane or is she in the complete northbound lane of travel let's say there's these three lanes and here's the turn the middle turn lane she's in this lane coming the wrong direction coming this way okay so she's she's coming northbound yes in a south in a in the furthest left southbound lane yes okay yes so people are honking at her she gets over into the turn lane um she proceeds to decide to take that turn at very at that very moment in front of me and about four other cars i honked the horn she flipped me off like this hanging out the side of the truck that's cool so I said "Okay." I said "I think she's drunk." I said "I think I need to go see what her truck number is." So we flipped around at uh the next inter the next major intersection i was able to find her on WH Jackson in front of a house i So I got the on the corner of what canal canal street in Jackson okay that house that's on the very corner there and I couldn't see who was in the truck at first so I kind of waited around to make sure that it was the right driver and um but I didn't want to bring attention to us so I kind of got down the road and I started filming her and she was all over the road i'm talking couldn't stay in one lane all over the road and then I mean driving over curbs about she almost hit the back end of a van full speed probably going about 50 mph down that road now the female that they're talking to right now is that the female that flipped you off that is her yes okay so So it's safe to say that this female is the same female from the origination point of our call absolutely cuz I saw her hanging out of the side of the truck that's what I was confirming by hanging out by the truck okay once I got the number I wanted to make sure cuz they were up standing grabbing she was grabbing stuff out of the back of the truck so all I could see was the lower half like this so I wanted I waited for her to turn back around before I confirmed that that and I called you guys back and said "Hey I've got the truck number now." Gotcha because it wasn't just a mailbox delivery it was like she had to get something out and pick it up yeah there was actually an old man with a cane that walked out of that house and came down the driveway i don't know if she handed the stuff to him physically i was kind of out of the way by then okay um but I just I don't drunk drivers are my thing i do not I if I see them I'm going to get as close to them as possible get their information if I can and report it and Officer Luke is doing their evaluation of that right now yeah yeah cuz um she I I figured I know a lot of different situations happen she was either having a medical emergency or she's intoxicated somehow where the dang ignition is what i I need her giant key ring she probably got the key i'll figure it out so you've never made that decision before okay okay you want to go ahead and stand up for me we're going to go to the police department okay i got your phone okay is your supervisor you have her number uh yeah you got it and then we'll let it we'll if need to wag may call hello hey this is uh FTO Luke on the other side this is FTO Luke with Melbourne Police Department what was your name again uh Kate i'm out here with Kate at University in Babcock she's going to jail today or correction University of Lipkcom are you working right now are you a postal service supervisor yeah she's getting arrested today she is drunk she's on Oh actually we Yeah we just got another one that showed up yeah I guess another guy in a postal truck just showed up yeah no yeah she was in the mail truck almost hit vehicles she was being followed yeah so we're going to be taking her to jail um and she told me to call you yeah we're at Lipkcomman University 82 23 this one all right hold on i was like "Oh you didn't manage you?"
