that's how Bianca got charged with resisting arrest trespassing and battery on a peace officer right where right on that street okay so I can just have him my phone got smashed okay so I I don't have his number so I'm just going to walk over there or go to Metro and get a new phone I'm going to have you hang out here for a little bit okay cuz I got to do a crash investigation as well you have your insurance and your registration for the vehicle where were you headed I I was going downtown cuz I have an appointment okay where do you have an appointment at um drug court okay yeah so um and I was late but I wasn't like speeding or anything but I've never been down this this road before I was just trying to make a shortcut and I was trying to turn and look how B our T our tires are well his tires my car is in shop okay whose car is this this is my husband but I'm insured on it okay registration there you and she was in her car seat oh yeah sh and you had your seat belt on oh yeah okay always all right so you don't want me to call a tow truck you said you have someone that'll tow it yeah cuz he's like 50 bucks okay you won't even he probably won't charge me nice all right cool well I'm going to work on a crash report um and start getting everything up and together um since it was just you with the property damage I think this is a city-owned gate so I'll just document that okay um so give me just a second if you guys want to hang out oh yeah um can I before I go so what happened so I have an appointment downtown and I was late I wasn't speeding but i' never been down this road before and I want to go turn but his tire this is my husband's truck his tires are so bald that like the brakes went out so why why aren you how fast were you going not fast at all some serious damage to the fence I was not going 2 don't wor about like have GPS in my car and his this is his truck cuz mine needs a new radiator it's our daughter it's her B hi it hit me what it ran out in front of me what ran out in front of you the fence so that's total it is yeah so all we got down was a old 974 oh you know what I no what do you want me to do happens true but it happens more often when you're on heavy sedatives drugs and alcohol let's clear things up the woman's husband is about to explain to the police that she's on strong medication and that the doctor is to blame for the crash because he prescribed drugs that were too powerful the medication makes sense but later when the police search the car they'll find bottles of liquor and strong sedatives that the driver doesn't have a prescription for so that's possession of a controlled substance DUI and probably child endangerment as well as long as my baby's all right and you're okay my baby's all right that's all right do you think she'd be under influence of I don't think so she's in drug court right now and she's checking in every day every day she's doing a p test well no every day she's doing a meeting and every other Monday Wednesday Friday she does a um a drop little odd straight into a fence like this it's to me it doesn't make any sense me too but I mean medication I don't know what it's what it is but it's too strong I could tell you that right now the doctor made him sck cuz I told her I said whatever you're on soz I tried to wake her up this morning and she was like really really hard to wake up what did he put you on your doctor your sleeping pills well what did you tell me this morning was too strong all right Stephanie um so I've completed my crash investigation based on the impact based on everything I've got all the information that I need there um but now is the part where I'm changing hats I'm going from a crash investigation to a DUI investigation so I do believe the under the influence of Narcotics or alcohol so I'm going to be doing a DUI investigation can you come with me yeah not though okay have you taken any narcotics in the last 12 hours um when I first got morning I took one diine dipine yeah cuz I'm prescribed three a day I took one this morning I took one uh sub to nin cuz that's what I'm prescribed because I was on the stronger one so diine and nxone when did you take your nxone in the morning St Patrick my diine what time was that 8:00 8:00 yeah okay taking anything else since then cuz it's 4:30 and you still seem a little out of it you your eyes are drooping as I'm talking to you you're having trouble standing straight up so no I'm not having trouble right top just right here yep oh you want to follow it sorry sorry it's right here you're going to follow it to of my pen you're just going to keep looking at the eye don't turn your head just use your eyes okay okay is my husband over there yeah I think my partner's going to talk to him right now not able to do any of the test she's failing them I honestly do believe it's that sleep I don't know just stand right here just lean up against the I talk to my husband I didn't do anything well you drove through a fence and you just failed to build toiy test so I'm not drunk not even messed up like you know I'm going to miss my B it's Christmas I don't think you'll be in jail till Christmas but don't make that decision all right since you're detained um I'm going to ask you some more questions but you have rights while I do so so I'm going to read them to you um you have the right to remain silent having these rights in mind do you wish to talk to us now about what I just told you I know do you want to talk to me that's part of the questions is yes or no do you want to talk to me yeah I've been talking to you I know I just now that you're in custody you do have rights I like to make sure that I read them I know but I'm not messed up I took a DI a Pam a 5 migam unprescribed it mhm okay and it's it's a boxing okay okay that's the sublingual Noone yes okay what's that I don't know my husband has a clean I just got out of jail this is that's an old wallet this is not your wallet that's it was in the purse that you were wearing yeah this my old Wallet be truthful to us yeah Now's the Time To be honest truthful yeah it was probably in there and I probably didn't clean that side out honestly seriously what's in it nothing what do you use that what's the syringe for then why is it in your first still when I got a a job my husband cleaned out all my I left my first at home you see how it looks though you get I see now how it looks yeah come so you take di a Pam yeah and they Xanax they Xanax you have Xanax mixed with what's the other one di pan so you put the Das Pan the Xanax and together why they're both benzos he gave them to me and said put them in my truck L tur what SP and the Xanax I haven't took any TX I take I'm asking you when the last time you took I told him I'm asking you because I wasn't around 9 and8 cop 49 there was a needle in her purse and then mix of she says benzos in her prescription did you mix Xanax with her prescriptions I don't do nothing like that she said you didn't so mix Xanax with her prescriptions yeah so she has a prescription and in that prescription there's other pills we I she did but I have I have Xanax okay well then is possible that she's taking your xanx it's possible okay she said that he put the Xanax in the bottle he said I would I don't do that but she has access to my safe where I keep my Xanax so she might be taking it from me so I just wanted to be transparent you know see this is what she got rested for there's two bottles of unopen bodka and Crown in there that's not me I know it's not open so I don't know if she's mixing her medication with alcohol cuz that's also an indicator she just told me she bought liquor now she did buy liquor she bought a bottle of vodka and Crown it's not open she don't drink she's mixing both she don't drink though why would she buy I don't know that's I'm confused about so just confirming those two bottles of alcohol you haven't had anything else to drink other than I did not drink okay I drink no alcohol today at all okay do you have any explanation for why you can't do the sobriety test why your eyes are so droopy why your eyes are so bloodshot cry well they've been bloodshot since I at you Stephanie I love you even if she wasn't drinking alcohol the combination of the three drugs found is so strong that it leaves the user partially disconnected from reality Stephanie was charged with child neglect without bodily harm damage to property duy and drug possession how are you we need with real is Brandon Brandon the cops here no idea hun I'm here

since we're talking about a child who couldn't have consumed the drug on their own all signs point to the parents being involved it's normal that child protective services and law enforcement work
