Hey officer, I cooperated so let me go
ENGLEWOOD Oct. 19 An officer attempted to stop a driver for speeding on Union Road but the driver wouldn’t comply. The officer followed him into an apartment complex where the driver parked the vehicle. The officer asked the subject why he didn’t stop and the subject said he was trying to get home and that he didn’t want to be embarrassed. His eyes were bloodshot and he had a dazed look. The subject denied drinking any alcohol but said he was on anxiety medication. The officer learned he was driving under suspension. Field sobriety tests were administered and the subject was subsequently arrested. A smoking pipe was found in the subject’s vehicle and there was marijuana residue in the glove compartment. Prescription pills prescribed to someone else were also located in the vehicle. The subject told the officer he wasn’t going to lie to him and admitted that he “toked a fatty” earlier and that he should be released since he was cooperating. He was transported to jail. While en route he passed our or fell asleep several times.
