ON 022309 AT APPROXIMATELY 2003 HOURS, I WAS TRAVELING EAST ON STATE ROAD 44, WHEN I OBSERVED A RED 1994 FORD PICKUP, BEARING FLORIDA LICENSE PLATE NUMBER QUAH0GA, TURN EAST ONTO STATE ROAD 44 FROM WASHINGTON STREET. THE PICKUP MADE A WIDE RIGHT TURN and TRAVELED PARTIALLY INSIDE THE EASTBOUND LANE THEN TRAVELED ACROSS the OUTSIDE EASTBOUND LANE OVER THE WHITE FOG LINE, AND ALMOST STRUCK THE CURB ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE ROADWAY. I FOLLOWED THE PICKUP AS IT TRAVELED EAST IN THE OUTSIDE EASTBOUND LANE OF STATE ROAD 44. THE PICKUP TRAVELED OVER THE WHITE FOG LINE WHILE CROSSING THE FIRST BRIDGE EASTBOUND and ALMOST STRUCK THE CONCRETE GUARD RAIL ON the SOUTH SIDE OF THE ROADWAY. THE PICKUP CONTINUED EASTBOUND AND CROSSED THE WHITE FOG LINE THREE MORE TIMES, ALMOST STRIKING THE CURB EACH TIME. AT APPROXIMATELY 2005 HOURS, APPROXIMATELY ¼ MILE WEST OF TRANQUIL POINT ON STATE RD 44, I ACTIVATED MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS AND CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP. THE PICKUP TRAVELED INTO THE TURNOUT ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE ROADWAY AND STOPPED ABRUPTLY. I APPROACHED the PASSENGER SIDE OF THE PICKUP AND MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER/DEFENDANT WHO IDENTIFIED HIMSELF with A VALID FLORIDA DRIVER'S LICENSE AS MR FREDERICK W POULIN JR, (WHITE MALE, DATE OF BIRTH 03241954). FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE I COULD SMELL THE ODOR OF AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE EMITTING FROM THE DEFENDANT'S BREATH, AND NOTICED THAT HE HAD BLOOD SHOT GLASSY EYES. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT WHAT HE WAS DOING DRIVING ALL OVER THE ROADWAY. THE DEFENDANT STATED that HE WAS GOING HOME. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE HAD BEEN DRINKING, AND HE STATED THAT HE HAD. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT WHERE HE WAS COMING FROM, AND HE STATED SARGE AND SKIP'S. I WENT AROUND TO THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE PICKUP AND ASKED THE DEFENDANT TO STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE, TO WHICH HE COMPLIED. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE WOULD PERFORM FIELD SOBRIETY TASKS, TO WHICH HE STATED THAT HE WOULD NOT. I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT THAT I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO PLACE HIM UNDER ARREST FOR DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE (DUI) EVEN WITHOUT HIM PERFORMING FIELD SOBRIETY TASKS. THE DEFENDANT THEN ADVISED that HE WOULD DO BADLY ON THEM AND THEREFORE did not WANT TO DO THEM. the DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR DUI AT APPROXIMATELY 2010 HOURS. HE WAS HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE-LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK AND SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE.
