Happy birthday. >> Thank you. >> Are you okay? >> Yeah, I'm okay. And my birthday. I'm sorry. >> Blowing out candles or blowing into a breathalyzer.

Thank you. >> And today is my birthday. [laughter] Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. >> From a 21-year-old rookie to a 62-year-old grandmother, watch their arrogance vanish the second they realize handcuffs don't come with a gift wrap. >> I mean, have you been drinking tonight? I know you say it was your birthday. >> Yes, my birthday. >> Uh-huh. Have you been drinking? >> Yeah, I drink like uh two glasses of wine. >> Two glasses of wine. On June 12th, 2025 in Delray Beach, Florida, a car driving erratically forced the police to intervene. Instead of cooperating, this 48-year-old woman honestly believed that her birthday privilege was enough to put her above the law. And here's what actually happened. >> How you doing? >> Hi. >> I'm Officer Cooper D Beach Police Department. >> Yes. >> The reason I pulled you over, you're making a lot of evasive moves. >> Are you okay? >> Yeah, I'm okay.

I I go I go for have fun. I swear to God. And a long time ago, go have fun. >> Okay. >> Trying to bargain with the law using your birthday. She forgot that the police aren't in the habit of tolerating mistakes. But the real embarrassment only peaked when she realized her lies and her boyfriend's story were completely out of sync. >> Where'd you guys come from? All right. >> But like, did you guys go out eating? Did you guys? >> Yeah, we ate. Yeah, we ate. >> Where'd you guys eat at? >> Um, right next door to uh >> I think it was I don't know.

Okay. >> Yeah. stand over. >> She giggles and smiles, trying to turn a criminal traffic stop into a casual chat. But the moment she steps out of the car, this woman is ready to drag her partner of 12 years through the mud just to save herself. >> I mean, have you been drinking tonight? I know you said it was your birthday. >> Yes, my birthday. >> Uh-huh. Have you been drinking? >> Yeah, I drank like uh two glasses of wine. >> Two glasses of wine? >> When's the last time you had a glass of wine?

I uh like where you stay? >> Uh uh sushi. >> A sushi. You went to a sushi lounge. >> Yeah. >> A manipulator never takes responsibility. She tries to make others the source of the chaos to highlight her own innocence. But her passive resistance during the sobriety test completely exposed her arrogance. >> Are you willing to do the task? Yeah, sounds fine. >> Give me one second. All right. Do you have any problems with your eyes? >> I have a glass. Uh, >> you wear glasses? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Are you wearing contacts? >> No. >> You're not wearing contacts? Okay. >> No, he's alcoholic. >> Okay. >> You know what I mean? You can put in the name. He's alcohol. >> Do you take any medicines or drugs? >> No. No, no, no, no, no.

Don't move your head. Yes. >> Don't move. Don't move your head. Okay. All right. >> It's my birthday. I got it. Supposed to take it. >> Hey, sir, stop. Knowing her body and her eyes had betrayed her, she chooses to deliberately misfollow the instructions. It's a trick to create a false reality, making it look like this test is unfair. But the harsh truth brought down the curtain when she completely failed the balance test. >> All right, I'm going to do another one. All right, step. >> All right, you're going to put your arms out like an airplane and you're going to lean over at the wing. >> Put your feet together. Feet together >> together. >> All right, there you go. And then put your arms out like an airplane. All right. >> Yeah. >> Good. All right.

He He said that. >> Okay. >> Why you you putting me in jail for nothing? >> Ultimately, she was taken to jail and faces a DUI charge. And according to records, this is [music] her third offense. She was released after posting a $1,000 bond. If convicted, she could face up to 30 days in jail and a one-year license suspension. Shortly after this content [music] was released, people shared some very interesting perspectives on the situation. Apparently, the officer didn't get the memo. It's okay to drive drunk if it's your birthday. It's like they don't [music] even care that it's her birthday. I don't know if you guys know, but it's this woman's [music] birthday tonight. Now, let's take a look at how another Karen completely redefineses the meaning of the word humiliation. August 21st, 2022 in Point Pleasant Beach, a 62-year-old grandmother commits a hit and run right on her own birthday. But the absurd drama only truly begins when the police catch up and knock on her car window. And here is what actually happened. >> They're making a case on us. my grandson for his freaking birthday party today. At my birthday party. >> Your birthday? Wait, today? >> Yeah. >> Today's your birthday? >> Yes. >> Oh, it is. >> I bought my my grandson up to the freaking >> Oh, the rods. >> No. No. Flying Muller Brothers. >> Oh, I don't know what that is. >> No, you don't. >> Is it like an amusement? >> Yes. >> Oh, okay.

A B CDE E F G H R J K L M N O P Q R S T L U V Q R S T O L O L U V. >> Okay, cool. >> At 62 years old, having to stand before the police as a suspect is a fatal blow to one's pride in a desperate attempt to salvage any chance of getting off the hook. Kelly doesn't hesitate to play the role of a rebellious child using self-pity to bargain with the law. >> No, no, no. Just facing me, though. >> Oh, face. >> Yeah. I'm just doing this. I'm doing this so you can see it. Okay. So, so imagine me facing you. >> Okay. >> Right foot in front of your left, touching heel to toe, arms loosely by your sides. >> Got it. >> That way. >> No, you're supposed >> I want to go to you. >> Face me. >> Oh jeez. >> Put your right foot in front of your left. >> Oh. >> Touching heel to toe. Arms loosely by your sides. Don't No, no, no. Don't walk at me. I want you to stand like this. Do you understand the instructions given to you? And you say yes.

Let me talk and then we'll we'll I just explain the test to you. Right. >> Yes. >> Right. Okay. And I ask, do you understand the instructions given to you? You say yes. And when I tell you to begin, you don't know the test. That either tells me you're not paying attention or you're having trouble following along. And that's okay. You're scared to death. Okay. You want me to reexplain the test for you? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> I want you to get I want >> This has never happened to me. >> I know, but I want you to get in the starting position. >> I'm in >> Please listen to me. You're not in the starting position. >> You're not. >> Are you having trouble? >> This has never happened to me. >> Are you having tr Are you having trouble staying? >> No, I'm just scared to death. >> I know. That's okay. I'm nervous, too. I'm always nervous. Okay. Her inability to handle a complex series of commands forces her to resort to stalling tactics, mindlessly walking away without orders. Unfortunately, the professionalism of the officer on the scene shatters her act, stripping away her disguise of a jolly grandmother. Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. >> Okay. >> All right. Cool. That's fine. We're going to do one more test. Okay. >> We're going to do the one leg stand. >> I want you to stay in. This is the new starting position. Okay. Feet together, arms loosely by your sides. You can do this one. This one's easy. Okay. Nice and this is all you're doing. All right. When you're ready, you may begin. >> Tell me when. >> When you're ready, you may begin. I can't I can't do that on a good day cuz I have really bad >> lupus. Okay. Yes, not a problem.

Four. >> In the course of how long? >> Four year. Four hours. >> Four hours. >> Did one every hour, give or take? >> Yeah. Give or take. >> Okay. >> It's my grandson's birthday party. >> Okay. >> Flying mothers. All right. >> I raised my kids with them. >> Listen, you're too impaired to be driving. >> No, I'm not. >> Yes, you are. At this point, the fake politeness and elegance quickly vanish, replaced by hysterical and panicked tears. Pathetic pleas begin to pour out, exposing the final desperate struggle of an ego with nowhere left to run. >> You're under arrest for driving. Turn around, >> honey. >> Turn around. >> Turn around and put your arms on. >> Please don't. >> It's happening. >> No, it is not happening. >> Come on, honey. Please. >> You got You got into a car accident. >> You got into a car accident. Okay. Stop. Please stop. >> Stop pulling away. Stop. >> I'm not, >> Kelly. Yes, you are, Kelly.

So, I'm going to take these ones off you and I'm just going to put you put a couple there. >> Jesus. Like, what am I like a criminal? >> Just procedure. >> Ridiculous. >> All right. Hold on. >> Are you going to run away from me? >> This is so >> Listen, I'm asking I'm asking you. I'm asking. Listen. Listen. I'm asking you. The only reason I'm asking you. If you say no and you cooperate with me, I won't put that on you. >> I got to run away. >> My grandson. Just have a seat. I got to talk to you. >> All right. Have a seat for me. >> Seat right there. >> You You've been arrested for driving while intoxicated. >> Yes. >> The law requires you to submit samples of your breath for the purpose of testing to determine alcohol content. If you refuse to provide samples of your breath, you will be issued a separate summon for the refusal. A court may find you guilty of both refusal and driving while intoxicated. >> Self-preservation instinct tells her not to cooperate, fearing the machine will expose her level of intoxication, but Reasonz knows that refusal will lead to a separate, equally heavy charge. She bitterly realizes that the officer in front of her is no longer in a bargaining mood. >> Now I ask you again, will you submit the breath testing? >> What happens if you charge my refusal? >> You don't get to provide samples of your breath. >> And then what happens? Look, >> that's what I mean. Like if you if I you don't >> explain to me if I don't, what happens? Cuz I've never >> So what happens is either it's yes or no. Yes. You submit samples of your breath. We find out your alcohol, blood alcohol content. You say no, we don't. I write you your summones and you have your day in court. >> Oh, so automatically I'm charged with >> you're you're charged with DWI no matter what. >> No matter what. >> This refusal is a separate summon. So if you say no, I'm not submitting. You're getting a separate summon >> either way. I'm getting a separate summon though. >> Well, if you say I'm fine, which >> Yeah. If you blow and you're fine, you won't get you >> anything. >> No, you won't get Exactly. You won't get a uh Well, it depends what the threshold is. But that's again, we're we're circling. You know what I mean? I need a yes or no. >> A little bit after the accident, you're sitting in your car. You're talking to another officer. Then you remember me walking up talking to you? >> Absolutely. >> Okay. As soon as I talked to you, I could smell it. >> You could smell >> the odor alcohol. Yeah. I didn't put up in my mouth like most people would have. >> Okay, so that and then just based off all the tests. >> No good. >> Let me tell you, >> it's not even it's not even listen, >> Kelly. It's not even it wasn't even performance based. Do you know how long it took me to instruct you on the first test? >> Go ahead. >> If you were sober, >> you would have been able to to at least listen to my instructions. I had to >> I did listen. >> No, I had to repeat. No, I had to repeat myself so much. It was it was it was not good. >> I was so performance nervous cuz this never happened. >> Listen. Okay. Your speech is slurred. You have I >> My speech is slurred now. >> It was slurred out there, too. Really? Okay. Yeah. Look, it's all >> I didn't even have to do the >> Tell the truth. >> No, I'm telling you the truth. This is This is This is why. Okay. You're too impaired to be operating a motor vehicle. Whether you seem to believe it or not, you are. From my training and experience, >> you are. And you got into and you got into an accident. >> Look, I'm not and I'm not No one's judging, you know. We're not judging. I'm Look, it's whatever. >> Ultimately, the grandmother was charged with DWI, refusal to submit to a breath test, reckless driving, and tailgating. If convicted, she could face up to $4,500 in fines and a license suspension of up to nine months. A midlife rebellion is nothing compared to this birthday rental car disaster. October 21st, 2024, Key West police approached the scene of an ironic car crash right on the driver Elizabeth's birthday. But the biggest surprise of all was the unbelievable attitude this woman displayed the moment she stepped out of the vehicle. >> Good. >> Yeah, everything's good. Okay. Well, I mean, everything's not good. You ran your car. >> I know. You're right. You're right. You're right. >> This car like got in the way. >> You guys were both in this car? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> I know. Was anyone in this car? >> No. >> We accidentally like I guess trying to pass by and we hit it and we >> Sorry. >> Just relax. Uh, who's driving? >> You are. All right. Can I get your driver's license and insurance information for the car, please? >> You're the passenger. I was all right. He >> says the air boy. Why don't you give me a favor? Just bring him in the seat right there. So we have medics come check you out. We have to have him do that. Okay. >> The crash the crash investigation. Um he completed that portion of it. Okay. So now I'm going to go into my portion. Um I'm officer Dor with QS Police Department and I'm going to begin a driving under the influence investigation. Okay. DUI investigation. All right. Before that starts, I'm going to have to read you something. Okay. Um like I said, this doesn't mean you're going to jail or anything like that. This just means I have to read you this. um just because one is part of my job and I'm going to be asking you questions if if it gets to that point. Okay. Certain questions. All right. So, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you. You know, you just just coming from there or did you eat dinner and walk like drove around or >> Yeah. Um I would say about an hour from the time that we had dinner. We had like parked and then walked around. So, >> Okay. All right. Did you have anything to drink at dinner or anything like that? Like any alcoholic beverages? Yeah, but it was like a long time ago. So, >> a long time ago. Okay. What's a long time ago? Like if you could >> Maybe an hour. >> Maybe an hour. Okay. But that was at dinner. Correct. Okay. What did you have to drink? What did you have to drink? >> Um, I had a champagne. >> All right. Um, what was I going to say? What time do you think it is right now? If you could guess. What time it is for me? >> Yeah. If >> you could guess, what time do you think it is? >> Um, almost midnight. >> Okay. >> Her attempt to act as if the alcohol had completely vanished from her system exposed her overconfidence. However, a disastrous mixup regarding the time of day accidentally betrayed the very state of intoxication she was trying so hard to hide. All right. I don't want you to I want you to follow the pen with your eyes only. Okay. Try not to move your head or anything like that. Okay. You understand? All right. Just keep looking at it for me. All right. Just keep looking at the tip. There you go. Okay. >> Okay. So, what I'm going to have you do, all right, is I'm going to have you get into the starting position. Okay. But I don't want you to begin until I finish finish the instructions. All right. So, the starting position is I'm going to have you put your left foot on the imaginary line. All right? And then I'm going to have you bring your right foot in front of the left foot, heel to toe touching. All right? You're going to stay in this position until I finish the instructions. Also, I'm going to have you bring your arms to your side. All right. And you're going to stay in this position. >> Good. >> All right. >> All right. Try to have your heel touching your toe. Okay, there you go. All right. Um, just like I demonstrated. Okay. Do you have any other questions or anything about it? No. All right. Have your have your heel back on right in front of your There you go. In front of your toe. All right. You may begin the exercise. >> Nine. >> Yep. 2001 23 78 1,000 71 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016, 2017. >> Okay. Oh, you may stop. >> The moment she sees her bad behavior being written down on the citation, she knows the act is over. Failing everything from the balance test to basic time awareness, she pays the price with a well-deserved arrest. >> All right, for the last one, I'm going to have you turn around, just face the vehicle, and just bring your arms behind your back to about the Um, what they'll do is they'll give her a bond and they'll release her tomorrow. Okay? And then she'll have a coordinate in the future. All right? So, this next portion is just called the 20-minute observation. Okay? So, it's pretty much what it sounds like. You're just going to sit here for 20 minutes. All right? Do you have anything in your mouth or anything like that? No. >> All right. Do you have any fake dentures, any fake teeth, anything? Piercings or anything like that? Can you open your mouth? Can you open your mouth so I lift up your tongue? And today is my birthday.

Like I said, deputies are going to have more more information on that. >> A polite but cold birthday wish from the officer shatters any illusion of exemption. Justice takes no holidays, and handcuffs are blind to excuses by choosing to drive while intoxicated. This woman turned her celebration into a day of judgment. >> Can I like I don't understand. >> Can I refuse or how does this all >> I'll read this to you. >> I just I don't understand. All right.

Just like that. >> No. Take No. He's got he's got something that was better than the previous attempt. >> Fearing the numbers on the machine would expose her guilt and strip away any chance of defense, she tries to cheat the test by blowing softly and intermittently. But this clever lady forgot that in the state of Florida, those deceptive breaths are legally defined as a deliberate refusal to cooperate. >> Just like last time. Okay. Deep breath and exhale. It's not big enough. Keep going. Keep going. [music] Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep take a deep breath. Keep going. Keep going. Just remove your mouth. Take a remove it.

All right. >> [music] >> So then what happens? >> Well, I explained it to you, but you're going to sit up there with this officer and I'll try to explain everything in a second. But >> all of the thing the attempts will be documented. >> It's all documented. That's all the camera, too. >> Okay. Like I don't know what to do. I'm like pushing hard. I don't know what to do. >> Okay. >> Despite her efforts to cheat, her BAC came back at.162. [music] Consequently, she faces charges of DUI and refusal to submit to a lawful breath test. If convicted, she could face up to a $2,000 fine, 12 months of probation, and 50 hours of community service. Trashing a rental car isn't the end of it. [music] A 27th birthday paired with a silent combo of handcuffs is where it truly hurts. On July 14th, 2023 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, a car driving out of control and defying every traffic sign forced the police to close in. Behind the wheel was a familiar script of bad decisions, but no one could have predicted the ending to this stubbornness. >> Hi, I know. I'm sorry. I'm not really familiar with the side of town. >> Okay. My name's Officer Ek with the WS Police Department. >> All right. Awesome. Do you know why I stopped you? >> Yeah. Uh, I'm going down the runway. On the runway. I realized and I was going to turn into that parking lot. I'm not familiar with this time of time. I'm sorry. >> Okay. And then additionally, you did run that flashing red light right there. >> Oh, I thought it was yellow. >> No, red. >> I'm sorry. >> No problem. Um, do you have your driver's license on you, man? >> Awesome. Thank you. Where are you guys coming from tonight? >> We were just getting dinner and we just had some It's my birthday today. >> Oh, wow. Happy birthday. >> Thank you. >> Okay. So, where where at? >> Um, we came downtown. We were just We just left from Fletch's Bar. >> Okay. Mhm. >> All right. Nice. How much have we had a drink tonight? >> Honestly, I feel like I had been sober for at least 2 hours now driving. >> Okay. How many drinks have we had? >> Um, probably an hour ago. Like two, three. >> Just two trio. >> Yeah. I've been out since like 6:00, but like I stopped drinking for 2 hours. >> All right. Sounds good. And then where were you guys headed? >> Just home. >> Okay. Where's home at? >> If you're in Oscar. And then so you said that you were started at 6:00 and you just stopped about 2 hours ago drinking. Okay. If you had to estimate how many drinks you had, what would you say? >> Like before 12 hours. >> Just in the whole since since you've been drinking tonight. >> Honestly like four. >> Okay. Four. What were you drinking? >> Just like Carlos. >> Okay. Carlos. Are those like salt drinks? >> Okay. Like the vodka selzer things. Okay. Mhm. Awesome. >> All right. Sweet. Do me a favor. Just hang on the car, guys. I'll be back to you shortly. Okay. Awesome. Thank you. Hi, Officer Selter. Wash police department. Hi. >> So, he said that you guys were coming from the bar. You told him? >> Yes. >> What bar were you coming from? >> Um, foot. >> Just How much have you had to drink tonight? >> So, I was I started at 6:00. I had like about four or five drinks and then I stopped for like 2 hours to try to drive home. >> Okay. All right. So, I'm going to actually have you step out of the car and we're just going to see kind of where you're at and see if you are able to drive. Using her birthday and the not familiar with the roads excuse as a cover up, she deliberately tried to paint a special picture to beg for an exemption. Unfortunately, that flimsy shield couldn't hide the bitter truth of alcohol right here. >> Yep. >> Okay. All right. So, you can stand facing me. >> All right. So, we're going to do a series of tests just to kind of see where you're at. You How many drinks have you said? You said about like four. >> Yeah, like four or five. Two hours ago. >> Okay. 2 hours ago was the last time. Yeah. All right. Do you have any issues with your eyes at all? Any medical conditions? No. >> So, the first test, can you see the tip of my pen here? >> Yeah. >> All right. What color is the tip of my pen? >> Black. >> All right. Color is the base. >> Um, black. >> Okay. So, I'm going to have you follow the tip of my pen with your eyes and your eyes only. So, if you can stand with your feet together and your arms down to your side. >> So, feet together, heels to toes touching, and then arms down to your side. >> And then just follow the tip of my pen with your eyes and your eyes only without moving your head. Okay. >> Okay. complete the test. Okay. >> Okay. >> All right. You can begin. >> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. >> All right. You may begin. 1 100 1,00 2 100 3 100 4 100 5 100 6 100 7 100 8 100 9 100 11 100 1,000 12 100 13 1 100 14 1 1500 >> Just have you talk to this officer real quick. Um she's one of our new officers in training. So I'm just going to talk to her real quick. >> That's fine. Come >> over here, Amy. >> Hi. >> Hi. Yeah, like you said, she's a new new officer in training. >> Yeah, that's okay. Um, yeah. So, that's kind of And then with the things I witnessed when I pulled you over, just the driving behaviors going the wrong way kind of thing. >> Um, then additionally, you sluring a little bit of couple of your words you slurred and then I did have a strong odor of intoxicants coming from the vehicle. Um, now granted, you know, there's both of you in the car, so you know. >> Um, so real quick, uh, question for you. Um, so just one more test just to verify everything that we saw was related to the alcohol that you said you have and like you weren't like snorting or doing some ridiculous drugs while at the bar, right? Um, would you mind just doing a breath test? >> Sure. >> Um, perfect. Sounds good. On a scale of 1 to 10, how intoxicated do you feel right now? >> Honestly, I wouldn't even know what a number would be. I mean, like I said, I had like four or five drinks 2 hours ago. I drink some water. >> How about So like 10 is like blackout. You're in the hospital drunk. And one is stone cold sober. Where do you kind of feel? >> Two, three. Using a sweet, honest act to mask the smell of alcohol was a highly naive calculation by this woman. She began to panic when she saw the field tests weren't going her way, especially when the preliminary breath test device made its official appearance or anything like that. >> Okay. >> Um and then um basically what you're going to do is you're going to take a deep breath in, wrap your lips around the straw, and blow into it like you're blowing up a balloon. Okay. >> Okay. Like forcefully? >> Yep. >> Yep. So deep breath in and blow. Blow blow blow blow harder. Harder harder. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Perfect. You can take the grab the end of the straw. Perfect. >> Do you know what the legal limit in is in Wisconsin? >> 8 08. >> Yeah. >> Um, so you at a.12. >> Okay. >> Then you uh you can take over from here. >> So we are going to be placing you under arrest for OWI just so you are aware. So if I could have you turn around and put your hands behind your back, please. Um I think you can kind of see that this is probably a mistake now. >> But >> I mean it's hard cuz it's like you chug water and it's like you're trying to be safe and what what are you going to do, you know? >> Yeah, I got you. I mean it the the nice thing is though it didn't end worse. You didn't get in a car wreck or no one crash into you. >> Right. Right. Right. >> So that that's at least a little bit better, but I realize it's kind of a glass half birthday. Um, is that boyfriend? Um, brother boyfriend boyfriend. Okay. What do you have? Your mother's number. >> Okay, perfect. >> Beautiful. Sounds good. >> Honestly, can I can you roll down his window? Can I just talk to him? Call maybe my friend Ashley. She was out with us like way earlier. >> So, they have to be ways they have to be completely sober. >> Okay. They were It was like hours and hours ago. Like 12. >> I was going to say I don't want Ashley to show up and also be drunk cuz then that makes it a very awkward situation. It's not. No, it's not. She was just the last person that I had talked to like hours hours earlier. >> All right. So, I'm just going to search you before you put you in the back of the car. You don't have anything on you that's going to hurt me or poke me in any way. Right. >> You know what? I'm searching. I'll stay opposite of you. >> All right. So, I'll have you turn around and sit down on the seat first. Oh, okay. If you can get up in there. There you go. And then you can just turn around. And then he's going to hop on that side and we'll get you buckled real quick. Okay. >> Sorry, my breath. >> At the Oshkosh Police Station, the harsh reality finally taught this woman a lesson in compliance. When the citations were handed over, she chose to face them with a sudden surprising submissiveness and cooperation. >> So, this is going to be your OWI ticket. So, all the information is on here. So, it is a mandatory requirement to go to court for it. This is going to be a court date, September 19th, and it's going to be at 10:30 a.m. This is going to be the amount that's going to be due for that. Um, >> so one thing to add to that is that 9:3750. Don't pay that right away because the the court date is mandatory. You have to go. I It is very rare to actually see that fine amount gets issued. Um, in all honesty, I've seen it change all the time. Um, so don't worry. So, just take a deep breath in and wrap your straw and blow harder, harder, harder. Keep going. Harder. Harder. Harder. Harder. Harder. You want to fill this up twice? Keep going. Harder. Harder. Harder. Harder. Harder. Harder. Harder. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. >> No, that's okay. That I think it worked. >> Okay. >> You might want to blow a little bit harder next time. >> Okay. >> We'll see if it liked it. >> Okay. >> He does for Brown County. However, we can now pick up. >> Yeah. So, that bottom line, you want to fill up twice essentially is the goal. >> I think it liked it. It did like it. Beautiful. >> So, now it's going to clear clear itself out the end. Yeah. It takes about 3 minutes for it. definitely sit back down cuz it'll take two tests then it'll take the lesser of the two tests. Okay. >> So, this machine kind of helps. It lowers that amount and everything. Cool. But we'll see. >> Yeah. This is this is where it gets lengthy. It's just waiting for this whole whole process. >> I think we are just about up to our second round and final round. As long as it goes well. Might get mad, but [ __ ] you. >> It'll it'll tell you when. And just remember, take that deep breath in and a long steady breath like you're blowing out a ton of candles. >> I guess he told her Green Bay, but she does not want an ambulance. He has been drinking. >> Okay, perfect. So, deep breath in away from the strap. Lift around and blow. Blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Fill this up twice. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. pouring all her energy into blowing correctly, she was merely protecting her own privileges. The law that immediately revokes the license of anyone who refuses a breath test is a reality too brutal to challenge. At the very least, that fear forced her to acknowledge her mistake. Um, yeah, the important thing is go to that court. Um, I cannot emphasize that enough. Um, if you don't go, they can put a warrants up for your arrest. So, Not that that should really influence it anymore, but yeah, it's mandatory. You have to go to it. So, just be sure that you do get to it. >> Okay. All right. And then this one is going to be for the BAC. So, it's going to be for the alcohol that was in your system. So, you were above the legal limit. So, this is just another citation for that. Um, again, your information is all on here. Same court date, same time, and everything. And then again, the amount. Any other questions at all that you got? >> Again, don't worry about the amount. Technically speaking, there's two citations there that both say $937 on it. Um, and I've been doing this about four years now. I'm I have not seen any situations where both citations end up um sticking. >> Um, it v it varies on the situation. Um, but that being said, like I said, just be sure to go to that court date. Um, because that's the important thing. That's where if if if um yeah say right now I'm just crossing off some things autoop populate in our computer system and I'm just putting yes mandatory um yeah just emphasize the fact that yes it's mandatory you do have to go um so again don't worry about the fine amounts don't worry about the points going on your license focus specifically on that court date >> cuz then you'll be able to get to talk to the judge and help finalize everything just double check that she has all the paperwork there so she should have three citations the informing the accused and the yellow phone on top there. >> Oh, and and that and that, too. See, it's easy to forget something when I'm talking about it. So, >> all right. >> Perfect. So, she has everything. >> That all to you. >> Then we'll take that out. >> And then basically what you do out there is you read this to mom. Um you can get all the address stuff and everything else from her. That'll be it. >> All right. So, you can grab that stuff and then you can have your mom. Ultimately, she faces charges of OWI, PAC, prohibited alcohol concentration, driving the wrong way, and failing to stop at a flashing red light with fines totaling up to $937.50. Tell me, if those police patrol lights hadn't stopped that wrongway car, would Haley have even had the chance to see her next birthday? Handcuffs at 27 look a little too peaceful. Let's see how a 21-year-old rookie proves what real immaturity looks like. On February 24th, 2024 in New Mexico, a young woman who had just celebrated her 21st birthday crashed straight into a motorcyclist. Behind her, bewildered tears was a dramatic act of excuses to deal with the police. And it begins right now. >> Sorry. I turned 21 yesterday. >> Nice. You're an adult. Which is your vehicle? It's this car right there. the Chrysler. Okay, give me just a minute. Get your license, your registration, and prove insurance first. Okay. >> What happened? >> And I Which way are you going? >> Um, so this way. Sorry. >> Westbound. >> Yes. So this way. >> Mhm. >> And then the light was green. >> I made a speedway on Southern. >> Yes. And then uh >> I had enough room and space to turn and the guy that was on the motorcycle was turn yellow >> and he had his signal on to turn >> the motorcycle. >> Yes. >> So he had his signal on to turn right. Um but the light was yellow so I turned because I thought he was going to slow down and he didn't. Um I think he sped up maybe >> um >> to go through the light. >> Yeah. >> To go straight. Yeah. >> Yeah. And so >> he I guess I mean when he was on the ground and I hit him. He told me that it was his fault. He turned I told him I was like you turn your signal on to turn right. And he said I know that's my fault. And um I guess he like was supposed to go straight or something or like he wanted to go straight and so >> Okay. Did Eric get you all this stuff? >> Um yeah. So this is my uh registration. She tries to play the role of a law-abiding driver who was caught off guard by the accident. But the exact moment the officer points out the heavy smell of alcohol on her breath. Her mask of confidence instantly cracks, giving way to the hesitation of someone who isn't very good at lying to the police. >> I was you had any drinks earlier or anything? >> Um, I had a beer. >> Okay. What kind of beer was it that you had? >> Um, it was like an angry orchard >> spider or something. Where'd you consume that at? >> Um, it was like literally right before I left. >> Left from from where? >> My house. It's um >> right. You look diagonally right here. It's right there. >> Okay. And you just got some window. Sorry, it kind of gives me a headache when you and like I don't >> I'm just like nervous. Nervous. I'm just trying to make sure that you're okay. Not very flex. >> Okay. I just I don't know. Like I've never been in anything like this before and I have like really bad anxiety and I don't know. >> Well, being honest, how many drinks have we had? >> One. >> Just one. >> The beer. >> Just the one beer. Okay. >> Are you willing to do these tests with me? Just make sure you're okay to drive. I >> mean, yeah, but I just like >> I don't know. I just I'm really scared. >> Shake it up. >> Failing to whitewash her fault and causing the crash. She turns the scene into a stage to play the victim of fate and illness. But the professionalism of the law has no room for cheap psychological manipulation tactics. test he's giving me. But I'm really sick right now. >> Okay. >> What are you sick with? >> I don't know. >> I don't know. I'm having a cold. I didn't get to celebrate my birthday at all. >> But you were out at a birthday party. >> Not yet. >> But you're really sick. >> I mean, I'm like getting over a sickness, but I haven't been able to celebrate her birthday. Yesterday I stayed home all day long and >> you felt good enough earlier to consume alcohol >> and then drink a beer. Yes. >> So I'm sorry. I'm like very I'm sorry. I'm really nervous. >> It's okay. Just complete the test the best you can. Okay. Need you to focus on doing the test. Okay. I'm sorry. You're like actually making me like really like that too. That's 340 56 2007 78 2009 2010 10 2011 2012 2013 2014 2016 >> or sorry 156 2017 >> okay um you know the alphabet though >> yes >> okay and you can count up to Yes. >> Perfect. I want you to recite the alphabet starting at the letter T is a George and ending at the letter T is a Tom. Incorrect or going forward without singing it. So just recite it from G through E. Wait, H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V WXYZ. The girl thought that simply cooperating would get her through the sobriety test. But right after her second refusal to blow into the breathalyzer, the announcement of her arrest came like a cold splash of water, dragging her back to reality. >> I know that you're stating that you've only had uh one beer, right, earlier today. So, I'm still going to afford you the opportunity if you want to to do the portable breath test or you want to do that or no? It's completely up to you if you want to do it. >> No, thank you. >> No, thank you. Okay. Why don't you turn around? Put your hands on your back and your place on your hand real quick. Okay. You're reading off this right here. So, listen to me. I'm about to tell you something important. You're under arrest for DDBI. The New Mexico Public Consent Act requires you to submit to a breath test to determine the alcohol content of your blood. After you take our test, the right to choose an additional independent test. If you choose to take this additional independent test, you have the right to a reasonable opportunity. >> Yes. Oh, do you want me to read you the additional consequences if you refuse and then you can kind of make your decision? >> Yes, please. >> Okay. So, say you chose to refuse. I cannot force you to take our test. But if you refuse, you lose your New Mexico driver's license or non-resident operating privilege for one year if you are convicted in court of driving under the influence. You may also receive a greater sentence because you refuse to be tested. Do you understand? Yes. Okay. So having all that in mind, did you want to submit to or have? >> Her street smart instinct tells her to stall for time, hoping to lower the alcohol levels in her blood while waiting for a miracle rescue from her family. But every explanation about the consequences she must face is useless against a mind that is stubbornly shutting its doors to resist. >> Yeah, that's fine. >> Okay. Um, I'll take that. I just have to bring it away from the machine. So, what what are you wanting to do? So, I don't want to take your test. >> Okay. And then you remember what I read you wrote about the additional consequences. >> Can you reread it? >> Yep. Absolutely. I cannot force you to take our test, but if you refuse, you will lose your New Mexico driver's license or non-resident operating privilege for one year if you're convicted in court of driving while in the influence. You may also receive a greater sentence because you refuse to be tested. Do you understand? >> I do. >> Okay. Do you not agree to be tested? >> I don't want to be tested. >> Yeah. No, absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, you can make all the calls you need to. Um, I just it'll take me about 20 to 30 minutes or so to do your paperwork. Uh, let me go find and see if we have any kind of stuff. If we don't, once I take you over to the jail, then you'll be able to do that there. >> Okay. >> So, but hopefully I'm not comfortable doing that >> here. Yeah. Okay. So, you just want to wait? >> I mean, I can Oh, >> as long as I can keep my phone. >> Yeah. No, you keep your phone. Yeah. Let me go back to your paperwork and I'll take you over there. I told you on too, since you've never been arrested before, you could get R tonight and where they just release you. Um, and you just have to get a ride from there if you want to come pick you up or something. Um, so you can't give them a heads up if you want, but we won't know until we get over there. But if that does happen, they'll give you a phone call so you can call them and they can come pick you up. >> Okay. I'll be right back with your memo. Okay. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Yeah, no problem. >> Ultimately, she was booked into the county jail and faces charges of DUI causing bodily injury, implied consent act violation, and resisting or obstructing an officer. If convicted, she could face a $1,000 fine, at least 48 hours of community service, and a license suspension of up to one year. So, that's what happens when you treat the law like a birthday wish. Next time you think a celebration puts you above the rules, just remember the police don't hand out free passes and justice doesn't blow out candles.
