WHILE EN ROUTE, I WAS ADVISED THAT THE COMPLAINANTS WERE WITH THE DRIVER OF THE MOTORCYCLE, AND WHILE ASSISTING HIM, HE LEFT THE AREA ON THE MOTORCYCLE AND DROVE TO THE AREA OF G MARTINELLI AND VESTA POINT. I WAS ADVISED THAT DURING THIS TIME, THE DRIVER OF THE MOTORCYCLE HAD CRASHED SEVERAL TIMES, AND IT HAD APPEARED TO THE COMPLAINANT THAT THE DRIVER MAY BE INTOXICATED. UPON MY ARRIVAL AT G MARTINNELI AND VESTA POINT, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE COMPLAINANT AND ANOTHER WITNESS, WHO ADVISED ME that THEY WATCHED AS THE MOTORCYCLE RAN SEVERAL STOP SIGNS, AND DROVE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD NEARLY CAUSING DOUBLE MULTIPLE VEHICLE CRASHES. THE WITNESSES ADVISED ME THAT THE MOTORCYCLIST CRASHED ON AT LEAST FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS. I THEN madE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER OF THE MOTORCYCLE, KNOWN TO ME AS THE DEFENDANT, MR HUBERT TAYLOR. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT FOR HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE, TO WHICH HE ADVISED THAT HE HAD . I THEN QUESTIONED HIM AND ASKED HIM WHAT HE MEANT WHEN HE SAID THAT HE HAD . THE DEFENDANT THEN TOLD ME THAT IT HAD BEEN TAKEN AWAY FROM HIM FOR FAILURE TO SUBMIT TO MEDICAL REPORT AS OF 081909. I THEN PROCEEDED TO INVESTIGATE THE TRAFFIC CRASHES. SEE REPORT NUMBER, 10-011173. AFTER THE TRAFFIC CRASH REPORT WAS COMPLETED, I SPOKE WITH THE DEFENDANT ONCE MORE, AND CONDUCTED FIELD SOBRIETY TASKS, (FST). DURING THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT TOLD ME THAT HE WAS NOT PHYSICALLY CAPABLE OF DOING THE TASKS BECAUSE HE HAS DAMAGE TO HIS LOWER BACK, AND NUMBNESS ALONG HIS UPPER LEFT LEG. DUE TO THE DEFENDANT'S MEDICAL CONDITION, PROPER FST'S WERE NOT DONE AND THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR KNOWINGLY OPERATING A MOTOR VEHICLE WHILE HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED OR REVOKED.
