DUI Arrest: Car Flips, Driver Refuses Tests

Summary

A woman is arrested for operating while intoxicated after her car flips on its side. Initial observations by officers include bloodshot, watery eyes and unsteady gait. The driver, Rachel, initially denies drinking but later admits to one 4% alcohol beer cocktail earlier in the evening. She refuses to answer further questions and invokes her right to an attorney. When asked if she will submit to a chemical test, she refuses, stating she needs to speak to a lawyer first. This refusal, coupled with the officer's observations, leads to her arrest for OWI. The officer explains that a refusal to test does not prevent an arrest if probable cause exists. The incident also involves a vehicle owner whose car was struck and flipped, and the process of obtaining a crash card for insurance is discussed.
