- The RP was a passerby, which means someone just driving up
I35, and saw this guy here in the ditch.
We overshot him because he's pretty a good ways
down there, so we're getting turned around
and see what's going on, if he's OK and why he ran off the road.
- OK, I'm at Oklahoma City.
I'm on I35 and Memorial Road.
It's Oklahoma County.
Yes, ma'am.
- Get your hand out of your pocket for me.
- OK, I'm putting you on speaker right now.
Is that OK?
They're telling me to.
- Hey, hey, hey, take your hand out of your pocket.
- Sorry, ma'am.
- That's all right.
What's going on?
Are you OK?
- Pam, are you there?
- Hey, I need to talk to you, OK?
- Ma'am--
- I need to talk to you, OK?
- I get it. I get it.
- You can talk to Pam in a minute,
but when I approach you, you need to talk to me, OK?
- OK.
- All right, so what happened?
- Ma'am, I missed my exit, and I slammed on the brakes,
and at that point, I started sliding,
and there was no correcting it at that point.
Once I started sliding, all wheels broke loose,
and here we are today.
- OK.
Can you tell me how much you've had to drink, because I can
smell it, and you're stumbling around,
so how much have you had to drink?
- Well, I've had one glass of wine to drink at Top Golf.
- OK.
- And your stumbling, because I'm in, well,
a pasture at this point, trying to make sure I don't slip.
- OK.
All right, well, who's Pam?
- Pam is an attorney friend of mine.
- OK.
All right, good.
OK, you can call Pam back after I get all your information
and we talk about things, OK?
I have to do my part, and what you're doing
is preventing me from doing that, OK?
- Yes, ma'am.
- So you can call her back in just a second, OK?
- Well, I'm not going to call her back.
I will-- - OK.
- There you go, ma'am.
- That's fine.
All right, so here's the deal.
I can start you a wrecker for this car.
Are you injured at all?
- No, ma'am.
- OK, I'm going to work a crash on this since all your airbags
are deployed. - Yes, ma'am.
- OK, so we need to do that.
- Absolutely.
- Next thing I'm going to do is field sobriety, and make sure
you're safe to drive. - OK.
- OK?
Does that sound good?
- I want to check with my attorney.
- You can check with her, but I have to do field sobriety
on you, OK?
- Pam, they're demanding field sobriety.
Is that OK?
Is it?
OK.
- OK, so you need to make some decisions,
because Pam's not here. - Yes, ma'am.
- This is the last time I'm going to ask you to stop
interfering with that, OK?
- I'm sorry, ma'am.
- You can call Pam back if you want, OK?
- OK.
- But I need to do my part, and by doing that,
I can't talk to you and get my job done, OK?
I'm not going to stand out here in the grass all night.
- I understand, ma'am.
- So we're going to do field sobriety.
- You want me to set my-- - You can set your phone.
- phone down on the hood of the car?
- Yeah, you can set your phone right over there, OK?
All right.
We're going to investigate a DUI on this one,
but we're going to go to a better location
to make sure he is not in the grass or on the ramp,
a safer spot to do that.
All right, so I'm just like you, right?
- Yes, ma'am, you are.
- All right.
Then I'm going to go 1, 2, 3, so on to 9.
- 4, 5, 6--
- Yeah, and then 1, 2, 3, and so on to 9, right?
Do you understand?
- Yes, ma'am.
- OK, now once you start, don't stop, all right?
- What happens if I refuse to do this?
- If you refuse to do it, you're going to jail.
- Well, what happens if I get to jail and I'm not drunk?
- Well, we'll get there when we get there.
- No. - So we'll figure it out.
- That's not what I'm asking.
- All right, here's the deal. - Ma'am--
- You can choose to do it or not.
Are you going to do it or not? - Ma'am.
- Are you going to do the tests or not?
- Hostile environment is not required.
- OK.
Now I'm done talking, turn around.
- No. - Turn around.
- Ma'am, I'm asking a simple question.
- Turn around.
- Sir, I was asking--
- You're under arrest for DUI.
- Typically, when it's a single vehicle
off the road for no apparent reason,
especially at this time of night, you know,
you start thinking maybe there's something else going on.
He'll be going to county tonight.
So I'm sure Pam can help him out there.
