What's going on, LT? >> This is geese. Okay. >> Uh the guy in the pickup truck in front, he said he came here and saw the truck, open up the door. This guy, the driver, was unresponsive. >> Okay. >> Um he claims that he wasn't unresponsive. He was just sleeping. Um his front driver wheel has exploded almost like he hit maybe the guardrail up there. He does he did admit that he hit something. didn't know what it was and kind of swerved all over the place and then parked it here. Okay. But he keeps on trying to talk to his mom and then wait for whatever information up there kind of like witness everything before we got uh he's been medically cleared by my medic. So kind of answered some questions there incorrectly like the date and everything but then I guess answered them correctly after the fact. >> Okay. Um, I smelt something off his breath. The guy up front also smelt something. He does have a cuff in his center console, but I wasn't touching that. >> How you doing, sir? >> Hey, man. How are you? >> Good. How are you? >> Well, been better. >> What happened? >> I was coming across the bridge evidently. I must have like hit the uh curb or something.

So, I have to record your information. >> All right. The reason why the reason why I'm asking that is because, you know, I' I've already called Triple A. >> You know, these guys have been here, but you're the first one that's asked me. >> Okay. I mean, did they ask you for your name, date of birth, and all that info, though? Um, yeah. >> Okay. I just asked for a driver's license cuz it makes it easier for me to write it down. >> Okay. Um, >> yeah, I'll I I'll give you my >> Okay. I I just want to get the tire fixed and get out of here. You know what I'm saying? >> I got you. Thank you. >> Uh, supposedly they showed up because, uh, I was, you know, sleeping, >> right? >> You know, I I get up every morning at 2:30 a.m. >> Okay. >> And basically, I was just waiting for Triple A. You know what I'm saying? >> Gotcha. >> Yeah. These two up here, they must be alpha concerned about me cuz they're All right.

You're not being charged with anything. So why would you do that, >> buddy? I I hope I'm not. I just >> Well, what would I charge you with, man? >> Nothing. >> Exactly. So why why would you even think that? >> Because of everything that's going on right now, you know?

While I was waiting, I fell asleep and I'm like, "Oh, maybe these guys saw what happened." Uh if you came up to the vehicle and I was out, >> you were out cold. It took an aggressive shake to get you to wake up. >> It did because these guys were saying uh when the EMTs were here, they were like uh you're you were unconscious. Unconscious.

Obviously, I wasn't going to send her with me to open the vehicle store, but I have no idea who's inside. >> Uh, he's got his card sitting there like he was going to call or whatever, but >> so it's pretty obvious that something's going on there. >> I agree. So obviously I can't, you know, pro, you know, I'd like to get a statement from you just stating I'm going to pretty much ask you what you smelled, why you think that's what it is. I mean, that's obviously I can't use that in court as proof, >> but it will just add to it. Yeah. >> Okay. >> So, if you just give me one second. No problem. >> Um, I'm going to get a statement from you first. I'm going to get another deputy over here cuz we always do this in twos. >> All right. So, mind if I grab just a statement from you, man? >> No problem. Cool. [screaming] >> You look fairly young to be a cop, man. How old are you? >> 26. >> 26.

He was already out there with his hazards on and I flipped around to see if I need any help. I we it appeared that he had two blown out tires front to run to stop see if we can help him. And upon getting here um I knocked on the window. No response whatsoever. And then I looked through the front windshield. He was passed out. And then I asked her to call 911. Just no idea what was going on. I open the door and he is out cold. and I shake him to try and get him awake. He wakes up uh sluring his words, has no idea where he is, takes a drink. >> So when he woke up, >> but did you wake him over to paramedics? >> I woke him up. I dried away. I just was trying to see if he was okay, feels or anything. So um and then his green cup, uh he started taking a drink out of that and it's very obvious. >> 127 102 that's 104. I'm in district 2. And it was very obvious that it was alcohol smell smell throughout the entire vehicle. >> Gotcha. Okay. >> All right.
