On January 2, 2024 at approximately 10:42 PM, Officer Koster with the Crystal Lake Police Department was dispatched to a report of a suspicious incident involving a white SUV parked in a driveway on Bingham Lane. He arrived on scene and initially did not observe a matching vehicle, but he later observed a female behind the wheel of a white 2019 Volvo XC90 driving erratically in the vicinity of Bingham Lane and Village Road. He followed the vehicle and initiated a traffic stop in the vicinity of Louisville Lane and Nashville Lane. After he initiated a traffic stop, he made contact with the driver, who was identified as Danielle. As Officer Koster was speaking with Danielle, he detected a strong odor of cannabis inside the vehicle. As he was speaking with Danielle, she appeared distraught and she informed the officer that she was arguing with her husband earlier that evening. Based on his suspicion of impairment, Officer Koster called for backup and Officer Flores arrived on scene shortly afterwards. Based on their suspicion of impairment, Danielle was asked to exit the vehicle and perform field sobriety exercises. The first field sobriety exercise was the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test. The second exercise was the Walk and Turn test. During the Walk and Turn test, Danielle did not touch heel-to-toe on each step while raising her arms for balance. The third exercise was the One Leg Stand test. During the One Leg Stand test, Danielle failed to raise her foot in the proper fashion and put her foot down before the test was complete. The fourth exercise was Modified Romberg Balance Test, and Danielle estimated the passage of 30 seconds in 25 seconds. The final exercise was the Lack of Convergence test, and Officer Koster observed indicators of impairment. Following the field sobriety exercises, Officer Koster offered Danielle an opportunity to take a Preliminary Breath Test (PBT). The results of the PBT indicated a BAC level of 0.00%. However, Officer Koster believed that she was under the influence of cannabis, so she was still placed under arrest for driving under the influence. After she was handcuffed, Danielle was searched by Officer Flores and placed in the patrol car. Danielle was initially transported by Officer Koster to Mercyhealth Hospital where she was asked to submit blood and urine samples. She refused, so they had to transport her back to the Crystal Lake Police Department where they contacted Judge Altman to ask for a warrant. A warrant was approved, but Danielle ultimately refused to comply. However, the officers also found additional prohibited substances inside her vehicle so they had adequate grounds to charge her. After their paperwork was completed, she was released pending her court appearance on February 13, 2024. Danielle was cited for driving under the influence - alcohol (625 ILCS 5/11-501(a)(4)), resisting or obstructing a peace officer (720 ILCS 5/31-1(a)), possession (625-5/11-502.15(a)), and possession (720 ILCS 646/60(a)). ------------------------------------- Please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and consider supporting this channel (email us for more information).
