One of our officers stopped a vehicle for Speeding. While talking with the driver, the officer noticed that her eyes were red and that she slurred her words as she spoke. There was also an odor similar to that of an alcoholic drink on her breath. During the course of their conversation, the woman told the officer that her passenger was in the midst of a seizure. As a result, the officer immediately contacted emergency medical personnel and asked that they respond to the scene.

After the passenger was safely turned over to EMS, the officer found additional evidence to suggest that the driver had been operating the vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. She was then placed under arrest and charged with Speeding and DUI.

The vehicle then led the officer on a short pursuit along the highway, before turning into a residential area. After losing sight of the suspect, the officer immediately turned off all of his emergency equipment and terminated the pursuit.
