You were called in. >> Yeah, cuz I'm tired. When I was driving, you stayed up pretty late, so I'm trying to get up too slow. >> Why are you driving with your hazards on? >> Because I'm trying to go slow to get there. >> Well, you're not going slow. You're going fast. >> I'm going fast. >> Well, you're passing everybody else. >> You're swerving. Where are you coming from? >> Oh, okay. You guys are coming all the way down here. >> Okay.

So the time we come over here driving and I had a hard time sleeping last night, the kids and everything just tired. You know, the mornings to get up, get the kids ready. We're running late. They have to be at school by 8:00. >> What time did you leave? >> Um, we left at 7:00. >> Left at 7:10. They have to be there by 8. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> And they go to school like 10:30. So, it's already close to about 8:30. >> 8:30, but I I call the teacher every morning 30 minutes late. >> So, you left at 7:10. >> It's almost 8:30. Takes you that long to get from Espanola down here at least. >> Yeah. 20 minutes, 15 minutes. >> Okay. >> We live like we live like >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> So, you left at 710. And it's now 8:30. It takes you about 20 minutes to get down here this far. So that that would make sense, but uh your time frame's a little off. >> Yeah. >> We're looking for my husband's keys. They're going to work. It's Monday. >> Yeah. >> One of those days. Got to find the keys in the morning. >> Okay. Did Did you have anything to drink last night? >> No, I don't. >> Did you have anything? You don't drink? >> No, I don't. >> Okay. Uh, I'm bad. Just asking, have you used anything? Are you under the influence of anything? >> My medication. >> What What type medications? >> I take my attitude questions about my prescriptions because I look at them. >> Okay. So, you took when was the last time you took Oxycodone? >> Was about 12:00 at night? >> 12:00 at night? >> How many did you take? >> One. Just one. Okay. Did you take anything else? >> Okay. So, I I'm kind of concerned. Okay. A couple reasons. All right. Is one, you were you were called in, like I said. Okay. So, other people are on the roadway concerned with your driving. >> Okay. >> They noticed that you actually had kids in the car, which raised a higher concern. >> Okay. So speaking with you, your time your time frame off telling you where you were trying to where you're trying to get to. >> You have some slurred speech. Okay. >> And you also kind of stumbled getting out of the car here and almost fell over. >> Okay. So you telling me that you're just tired isn't really quite lying. I I get what it's like to be tired. >> I I drive tired. I come to work tired all the time. That's just part of life. Okay. But your behavior from what you're being called in what I observed you driving. Okay. And your my encounter with you things aren't really lining up. Okay. >> Can I have my daughter and my son come over here to have a driver's license? They come and drive for me. Whatever. >> Well, I'm not going to have kids. You give me a test, a drinking test, whatever you want to do. >> Well, you you told me that you took oxycodone last night. Okay. >> So, you told me so at some point you're under the influence of something. You can't drive while you're taking Oxy. Okay. >> So, you took it last night at midnight, >> but it's every 6 hours. I should already be out of my system. >> Okay. Well, I don't know. It depends on how many you took. I mean, you're you're telling me you took one, but you also told me you took something last night. Okay. So, based off my encounter, what I'm experiencing right now is I believe that you are under the influence of something right now. >> Okay. >> All right. And I'm just looking for honesty to figure out what so I can properly gauge. Hey, are you under the influence of something? Is it something holding over on you? You know, you're telling me this that you don't drink. Okay. So, but you're falling asleep at the wheel. Okay. So, you have to be impaired to some degree. Okay. Is what I'm is what I'm getting at right now. Okay. Are you willing to go through some tests for me to see if you're okay to drive? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> My daughter also come over here, too. >> Okay. Well, hang on for me here. Okay. So, what what I'm going to ask that we do is right now we're kind of on a slope tail right here. Okay. I'm going to ask that I'm going to drive you down over there to the flat bottom area where it's better conditions for you to do your test. Okay? And then I'm going to ask that my supervisor to sit here with your kids in the car. Okay? That way they're down there and they don't have to see and watch anything.
