She told police that she had 3 glasses of wine, and that on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being stone cold sober, and 10 being blackout drunk, she was at a 2.

She agreed to take a field sobriety test, and during one of the tests, she took one step and nearly fell over. The officer states that she began to cry and said to “just arrest her.” She instead continued with all the tests, and failed each one. At that time she refused to take a breathalizer.
