Did you show someone a badge? >> You a cop? >> You rolled? >> I didn't go that fast. >> Hold on. No, I don't need to be here to know. That's the biggest load of bullit I've ever heard. You're driving like a dump. >> On March 22nd, 2025, when police officers in Lawrence, Indiana arrive at the sight of a crash, they're surprised to find that a truck has collided with a house in broad daylight. Even more shocking than the driver's outlandish explanation is the fact that he's also a sheriff's deputy. >> I don't do nothing stupid. I literally >> Today's the first. >> The following is based on official police records and the footage has never been seen before until now. Please note that all persons charged with a crime are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law. At 4:53 p.m., police and EMS are called to the site of a rollover crash in a residential area in Lawrence. >> Are you the driver? >> Yeah. >> You okay? >> Yeah, I'm good. >> Okay. Is there anybody else in the car or anything? >> Uh, we're good. >> Who else is in the car, man? >> My girl, >> she's over there with a godmother. >> Okay. >> Did you guys roll over? >> Yeah, I was driving and I was trying to back up right there. I got a wallet >> and a lost control swerve. >> Okay. You have your license with you? >> The driver is identified as 39year-old David Hodes. Do >> you have your insurance? Hold on, bro. Where's this uh where's your uh passenger at? >> She's she's the house disease. >> My godmother's house. I'm good. Everybody's good. Uh I just rolled over. I was trying to back up into that spot. Lost control. Hit the curb. and end up rolling. You >> rolled? Yeah. >> Despite David's nonchalant attitude to the bizarre situation, there's far more going on here than first meets the eye. He eventually pulls up his insurance information and hands it over to one of the officers. >> Man, I love this truck. >> Oh my god, my baby. >> Just relax. All right, >> I can't. This is my favorite truck. >> Messed up my shoes. >> It's all right. Just relax. Okay. I know. I ain't never ever wrecked in my life. This is my first wreck. >> Where were you guys coming from? >> I literally just left her house. She left her ID backing up trying to turn. >> Is it going too fast? >> Lost control. >> Okay. >> Already David has adjusted his story. First saying he was trying to back up into a spot and now that he was trying to turn while backing up. >> I ain't never in my life ever did this. I'm just trying to turn in that street. Drive. Go. >> That doesn't make sense. >> Yeah. Y'all >> that doesn't make any sense to me at all. >> I'm talking about driving about to turn in there. >> But had anything to drink today? >> No. >> No. Nothing at all? >> No. >> Backing up. So, I'm driving backwards. I'm trying to turn into high >> turn going backwards. >> Try to turn going. >> He must have been doing it fast. >> Must have been doing it super fast. >> Overdid it. >> While heading to check David's insurance on his phone, the other officer finds witnesses to the accident. >> Did you guys see the crash or anything? I was downstairs and I think flying past and I had a skirt in a >> pool. He going like >> rolled over. >> Yeah. >> It looks like you've been in a crash. My phone will trigger emergency SOS if you don't respond. >> Coming in and he Okay. >> Yeah. >> He got the gun. >> I know. We saw it cuz this is uh >> this is the most ridiculous scene I've ever seen. I've never in my life, and that's on me, I've never in my life ever wrecked. >> It's extremely reckless in the neighborhood to be driving that way. >> I didn't go that fast. >> Hold on. No, I don't need to be here to know that's the biggest load of bull I've ever heard. >> Look at this. Let me look look at this for a minute. >> And with a straight face say I was going to reasonable speed. >> No, I I I give you 100%. I was like, >> "You're driving like a dumb is what you're doing." >> And I >> And you're lucky you didn't kill no one is what you are. >> The owner of the home David struck wasn't there at the time of the crash, but two children were inside the house. Luckily, neither were harmed. This is where things with David begin to take a turn. >> Did you show someone a badge? >> You a cop? You're a firefighter? >> Sheriff badge. I mean, >> you're a sheriff deputy. >> David is a deputy at the Marian County Sheriff's Office. Then you know better, >> sir. When I say literally I'm I'm not doing nothing stupid. >> No, you were doing something stupid. >> Look at the scene right now. You were doing something stupid. >> I literally never did this in my life. >> I question your judgment as an officer. >> Yeah, you are. What's your name? >> I don't need to be straight. She's a nurse. David's girlfriend is currently being checked by EMS and will soon share her side of the story. >> No, you need to drive straight is what you need to do. >> I do in >> reasonable speed. Had you hit a kid, you'd be just going to jail. >> But I never been in that. >> I look at this and I I I question you should probably go to jail anyways. >> Why would I >> for reckless driving? >> Like I said, I drive care. I got three kids. I know how to drive carefully. >> I don't do nothing stupid. I literally >> Today's the first. >> This is my f This is mying love. I You know how much I literally saved up to get this truck. >> Stay right here. >> Just as David's frustrations grow, the other officer returns to speak with him. >> Just walk over here and talk to me. >> Hey, so obviously I know you've been drinking today. I can smell it on you. >> You know what? >> Alcohol smelling your breath. You want to tell me how much you had to drink today, >> sir? But that's like I been drinking for >> I want you to listen to me, okay? How the the way you answer these questions from now on is going to determine what happens from this point forward. So I need you to be honest with me understanding to do this. I would never wreck my >> I'm asking you how much you had to drink today. >> Sir, only thing that I drunk last night with her. >> Okay. So when the last time you had a drink? >> I drunk last night with her. >> When's the last time you had a drink? What time? last night. What time? >> It had to be like 2:00 in the morning. >> If David is being honest, since it's now just after 5:00 p.m., over 15 hours have passed since he claims he last had a drink. >> Okay. How much did you drink? >> We drunk like falling down drunk her head drunk. She's still drunk. I'm went home, came back, and I was good. But I'm not >> I'm going to ask you to take a PBT test. You can you have the right to refuse if you want to. At the end of the day, I understand where we go from there is up to you. >> I just want to be legit. >> I get that. >> I'm When I say I'm good, like I'm literally good. >> Are you willing to take a PBT? >> I'll take whatever you want me to take. >> This, however, as the officer will eventually discover, doesn't quite go as planned. >> I'm going to separate you from your firearm. I know you got one on you. Just stay right there for me. As one officer prepares the preliminary breath test or PBT, the other speaks with David's girlfriend >> up there, but he backed up, but I was also in my >> wallet trying to make sure I didn't actually see my ID in there, but I didn't see it. >> Okay. >> And then next thing I know, when I looked up, I felt the car rolling. >> Okay. >> Well, the airbag came out. >> I haven't drunk today. Like, we was about to go drink. I ain't going to lie to you. >> What am I missing here? Because just driving backwards and going back it it it doesn't result into this. Like >> nothing. We fine. I mean, we've been arguing. We did nothing but we all know >> honestly. I don't know. Like cuz I've been fine. He was fine. I >> mean, he's obviously not fine. I mean, you know, like he wasn't like irrational when he came to get me or arguing or anything like that. >> Okay. >> David's girlfriend is soon cleared and released without any injuries. David, on the other hand, is proving to have some issues with the PBT. >> All right. Deep breath and go. Blow harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder. Keep going. Now, you're not blowing hard enough. Deep breath in and blow. Blow hard. There you go. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Hang off. Too hard. >> After four more tries, the officer has had enough. >> We're going to head back to station. You want to hang up? >> For real? >> Yeah, for real. >> You know why? >> I'm not drunk. I'm literally good. >> You're not under arrest right now. We're going to take you back to a chemical test. Okay. >> However, even once they're at the station, David continues to have trouble. >> Deep breath. Tight. Blow till you stop. Go. Go. Stop. Stop. So you kind of you blow then you stop. You got deep breath. Tight seal. Blow hard. Go. Go. Keep going. Go. Nope. I don't know if you're pressing your lips or something, but blow hard. Go harder. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Okay. No. He's playing the game. You got three pills. You want me to try to do that? >> Yeah. >> Hey, David, I want to be clear about this. So, obviously, we kind of went through this. You've done these tests before. You've been through the academy, right? >> No, I haven't done if ever. >> Okay. Either way, Sergeant He has done a lot of these. He's able to explain the test to you in a way that you can understand it. Obviously, if you fail to follow the instructions properly, it looks like you're more intoxicated than what you actually are, right? David is warned that if he doesn't complete the test, they'll get a warrant to collect a blood sample instead. Still, it takes a few more tries before the officers are able to get a reading. >> Go, go, go. >> Yes, sir. >> The results, though, likely won't leave David feeling like celebrating. According to police documents, the PBT at the scene had actually returned a reading, which was a.122 blood alcohol concentration, well over the 008 limit. The reading conducted at the station however came back as even higher at.130. >> Dang from last night police all my career literally gone this year. >> According to police documents, David was arrested for operating a vehicle while intoxicated with endangerment, operating a vehicle with BAC above. 8 and reckless driving causing property damage. New sources state that following his arrest, David was terminated from the Marian County Sheriff's Office, though no other updates about the case are available at this time.
