ON 031515, AT APPROXIMATELY 1713 HOURS, I RESPONDED TO THE AREA OF 1900 EAST GULF TO LAKE HIGHWAY, IN INVERNESS, TO ASSIST SERGEANT LAMBERT WITH A TRAFFIC STOP. UPON MY ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH SERGEANT LAMBERT WHO ADVISED THAT AT APPROXIMATELY 1653 HOURS, HE WAS IN THE AREA âBOLOINGâ FOR A WHITE IN COLOR KIA, WHICH WAS DRIVING ERRATICALLY. HE STATED THAT WHILE IN THE AREA HE OBSERVED A FOUR DOOR, WHITE IN COLOR, KIA PARKED ON THE SIDE OF GULF TO LAKE HIGHWAY IN THE EASTBOUND LANE. HE STATED THAT AS HE APPROACHED THE VEHICLE TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER, HE OBSERVED THE OCCUPANT OF THE VEHICLE, LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT, MS MELISSA TREACY, TO BE SLUMPED OVER IN THE DRIVERâS SEAT WITH THE VEHICLE STILL RUNNING AND IN DRIVE. SERGEANT LAMBERT ADVISED THAT HE WAS ABLE TO SECURE THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND REMOVE THE KEYS FROM THE IGNITION. UPON MAKING CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER, HE ADVISED THAT SHE WAS BREATHING; HOWEVER, ONLY SEMI-ALERT. AT THAT TIME, SERGEANT LAMBERT REQUESTED EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES TO RESPOND. he ADVISED THAT DUE TO THE DEFENDANTâS SPEECH, SHE APPEARED TO BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF EITHER DRUGS OR ALCOHOL.

WHILE SPEAKING TO THE DEFENDANT SHE APPEARED TO BE SLUGGISH, HAD DIFFICULTY WALKING, HER EYES APPEARED TO BE HEAVY AND ALMOST CLOSED, AND HER SPEECH WAS SLOW AND SLURRED. I ASKED HER IF SHE HAD CONSUMED ANY ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES OR NARCOTICS, TO WHICH SHE ADVISED THAT SHE HAD TAKEN A XANAX, APPROXIMATELY FOUR HOURS PRIOR TO DRIVING. the DEFENDANT stated that she did not wish to speak to me any further without an attorney. AT THE DEFENDANTâS REQUEST, HER VEHICLE WAS LOCKED AND SECURED AND SHE STATED SHE WOULD ARRANGE FOR HER VEHICLE TO BE PICKED UP BY HER FATHER.
