Full Text
784 charsThe trooper had the defendant recite a portion of the alphabet, which she did successfully albeit with slow and slurred speech. The defendant was not able to complete the trooper's request to count backwards. The trooper then had the defendant step from the vehicle and walk up the hill to the front of his cruiser to assess her sobriety. Her trek to the roadway revealed a lack of coordination and unsteadiness. At the roadway, when the defendant was standing next to the trooper, the trooper could smell alcohol coming from the defendant's mouth. The trooper administered three field sobriety assessments, none of which the defendant was able to successfully complete. The trooper formed the opinion that the defendant was under the influence of alcohol and placed her under arrest.
