Woman Arrested After Erratic Behavior and Marijuana Smells
Real Body Cams
Summary
After an off-duty officer reported a woman, Ayana, smoking marijuana and stumbling before driving away from a Walmart, officers responded. Upon making contact, Ayana questioned their authority and admitted to having marijuana and CBD in her car. Witnesses confirmed seeing smoke and smelling marijuana, with one noting she was acting erratically and dancing. Despite initial sobriety checks, officers proceeded with an arrest for DUI due to her unpredictable emotional swings, refusal to exit the vehicle, and the strong odor of marijuana. The video compellingly shows the unfolding events and the officers' procedural approach, making it a valuable watch for understanding traffic stop protocols. Ayana was also charged with criminal trespass for her behavior at Walmart, and after refusing a voluntary sobriety test, a warrant was secured for a blood draw. Her court case for DUI and resisting arrest is pending.
