Okay. On August 23rd, 2024, an Orlando patrol officer spotted a car ghosting through a turn without a signal, sparking a stop that unraveled into chaotic denial. Bonita, reeking of fresh weed and yesterday's brunch, turned a routine pullover into a masterclass in self-sabotage. Watch the video to catch every wobbly step of her downfall. Morning. Officer Zaret, Orlando Police. How you doing tonight? Good. Good. How are you? Good. How are you? Good. So you signaled once, but you didn't signal before you turned. Okay. Where you coming from?

Do me a favor, just unbuckle your seatbelt. All right. Just you stay right there, okay? He said you pulled me over for Well, can we just get out of the car? One second. One second, just hang tight for me, okay? I've explained So here's the reason I pulled you over cuz you didn't signal before you made a left turn. Second >> no, excuse me. Who's he? He is me. Yeah, no. Yes, he said that I turned my signal, but he said I didn't turn it as Who is he? Are you You mean me? Yeah. Yeah, I I'm telling you it's I have a dash cam as well, ma'am. Okay? Also, the car reeks of freshly burnt cannabis. All right? The officer rolled up and the car hit him with a weed cloud thick enough to choke a skunk. She swore she hadn't puffed tonight, yet her tongue tripped over every lie like it was drunk, too. Two shots at 4:00 p.m.? Sure. And that wristband was just fashion. Brunch at 2:00, shots at 4:00, a mysterious snack at 5:00. Somehow she thought logic was just a rumor. You're you're you're not making sense. You're slurring your speech. >> I'm not slurring my speech. >> That's fine. It's not that I'm not making sense. That is not That is not the case here. >> and you're being argumentative and I don't understand why. >> being argumentative, sir. I answered every question. I did not stutter, and you're saying that I'm stuttering when I did not. I said you're not making sense. You said that I'm not making sense. And you also said that I did not make sense. Ma'am, put your hands on the steering wheel for me. So hang tight for me. >> No, excuse Okay. What are What are you saying no? I just don't feel comfortable with you opening up my door. That's fine. Well, here's the thing, ma'am. So I have probable cause and there's a there's a blunt right here. You told me you weren't smoking. All right, I smell the odor of it in the car. Yeah. All right. And I am investigating why you're your driving behavior. So I am now now hear me out, man. I I am not asking because I have probable cause. Now I am ordering you out of the vehicle and you're subject to arrest if you refuse to get out the car. All right? So I'm asking you politely, please exit the vehicle. I have probable cause. I'm not requesting consent. Uh please exit the vehicle. Over here. What's your name? Benita. Benita. All right. Now you're out of the car and I'm trying to have a conversation with you. All right. All right. I suspect you're impaired either by the alcohol or by how much you smoked. Okay? I'm just asking you a couple questions. When's the last time you went to sleep?

When's the last time you drank? Last time I drank this afternoon when I told you I went to brunch. All right. How many drinks did you have this afternoon? I had two. Two? Okay. She kept arguing the signal like a lawyer who flunked traffic school, slurring denials. Weed smell sticks to everything. You can't hide it, no matter what. The officer spotted the blunt, ordered her out. Probable cause stronger than her excuses. Reality clearly had a day off. Uh that was from a club or a bar? Where was that from? From brunch? Okay. And you were just where? Down at a friend's house. Where? Where Where Where Where was your friend's house? I could give you the address, but I don't have the I don't remember the street.

Do me a favor, just uh Go here, face that way. All right. Can you do me a favor and imagine a line a line about the width of your foot from here all the way down to your car? Can you imagine a line about the width of your foot? Yep. All right. Can you put your left foot on that line? >> width like the the same line like this? >> Yeah. Can you imagine that line? No. I'm I'm just asking can you imagine that? Yeah. >> All right. Can you put your left foot on that your left foot on that line? Field sobriety time and she rated herself a casual two on the drunk scale. Adorable confidence from someone whose eyes dance the cha-cha. The cop asked basic questions. She answered in a riddle. Brunch at two but eating at five? That's not brunch. That's confusion on a plate. And your right foot heel to toe just like this. Oh, heel to toe? Yeah. And put your hands out to your side and hold that position till I'm done explaining. Do you understand? All right. So, when I tell you you're going to take nine heel toe steps. You're going to plant your lead foot, take a series of small steps, and take nine heel toe steps back. I'm going to demonstrate I'm going to demonstrate three. All right. And you're going to do nine. Do you understand? So, right here you're going to start off in the starting position. One, two, three, so on so forth all the way up to nine. So, let's start that over for you again, okay? So, I'm in No, no. Wait till I'm done explaining, all right? So, I'm in the starting position, all right? I'm going to I'm going to do three. You're going to do nine. Do you understand? All right. One, two, three, all the way up to nine. Take a series of small steps. One, two, three, all the way up to nine. Once you start, do not stop. Count every step aloud. Just please go back to the starting position. Count every step aloud or look down the whole time. Do you understand? All right. You may begin. Thanks. Five. All right. Do me a favor. So, shoes are still pretty comfortable for you, right? You're pretty good in them. You're walking just fine. Now, it's pretty flat. All right. Next going to be the one leg stand. All right. Okay. You take any foot of your choosing. Your left, your right, your right or left, it doesn't matter. It's up to you. Watch my demonstration. All right.

Watch my demonstration. 1,001, 1,002, 1,003, and so on and so forth until I tell you to stop. You can use any foot of your choosing, all right? Does that make sense to you?

Okay? Just one second. Getting my timer set. No, you're good. All right. Whenever you're ready. Any foot of your choosing. Whenever you're ready. Approximately 6 in off the ground. Walk and turn became comedy gold. She heel toed like a newborn giraffe on ice, counting steps aloud while staring at her shoes like they betrayed her. If you think you passed the sobriety test after stumbling, you're doomed already. Balance? Optional. Dignity? Already towed. Do me a favor. Turn around. You're being placed under arrest for driving under the influence, okay? What's that? How? Uh by whatever you took that impaired you today. Put your hands together like you're praying. I'm going to make this a little more comfortable for you. Whose car is that? My car. It's your car? Okay. Your friend she's looks like she's been partying, too. So, um your your vehicle will be towed, okay? Yeah. All right. Where's your phone? It's in my car. It's where? It's in my car.

Uh do you have a person your phone in the car? Yes, I do have a phone in the car and a person, too. I understand that, but they were out drinking and partying, too. So, I'm not going to have another person here. >> out partying. Okay. That's fine. That's fine. So, you want your person your phone? Yeah. Who are you going to call to come get your car? I will know once I have it. Yeah, I'm like getting out the cuffs, so how do you want to work this out? You're holding it in front of me, so how do you want me to work it out? You're holding it in front of me. What am I allowed to do? What am I not allowed to do? What do you want me to do when you hold it in front of me? You have to allow him to unlock the phone so that you can make your phone call. Otherwise, he's going to tow your car. So, if you don't want your car to be towed, please cooperate with him. It's not a problem and it's not a problem to cooperate. I simply asked him how to cooperate because he put in front of the phone and he also cuffed me. That's fine. You can ask for that. He doesn't have to do that. Like none of this has to be like that. I don't know why you guys trying to actually complicate. Where I can have them pick it up here? Yes, I'm at Division and Anderson. Division and Anderson? >> Division Street and Anderson. Or Division Avenue And the reason that I was asking is because we have to do a tow sheet to release liability to whoever you call and we have to put their name One leg stand sealed the deal. She wobbled, dropped, and muttered about schedules like time could bail her out. Cuffs clicked and suddenly she was the victim of the year. Mixing weed and drinks before driving is a one-way ticket to disaster. Tow truck loomed. She still demanded her phone like customer service could fix a felony. Can you uh state 10-12 on the radio, please? You want um you get out the car, ma'am. She's good to get out. She's good to get Yeah. Do you need assistance in calling someone?

I'm not even resisting. Yeah. Take a seat in the car. Take a seat in the car. No, she literally just hung up. Ma'am, get in the car right now or you're going to get charged. If I have to put my hands on you, you're going to catch another charge. So, get in there. Then get in the car. Just get in the car. You don't even have to be like that. I'm not even one of those where you have to lose your energy on and you still do. Hello. How are you? Just sit right here, please. What's your right? Right arm. The jail. From brunch-fueled confusion to the art of resisting reality, the encounter was a master class in selective memory, creative geography, and sheer audacity. Every poor choice, misremembered detail, and dramatic pause earned maximum eye roll points and possibly a lifetime of regrettable driving tales. After being taken to the Orange County DUI Center and given a 20-minute observation period, she refused to provide a sample of her breath. She was then transported to the Orange County jail where she was booked and charged with refusal to submit to DUI testing since the officers could not prove that she was under the influence.
