DUI
On February 16, 2024 at approximately 2:15 AM, the Greenville Police Department received an anonymous complaint pertaining to a female subject, who appeared to be intoxicated operating a blue Dodge Challenger at Speedway gas station at 201 Wagner Avenue, Greenville, Ohio. On February 16, 2024 at approximately 2:24 AM, PO observed a female subject, later identified as Tonnie Hicks, enter a 2023 blue Dodge Challenger, bearing Ohio registration, KAT1532, while the vehicle was parked at the gas pumps at the previously described Speedway gas station. Hicks eventually operated the involved vehicle northbound on Wagner Avenue, traveling in the outside lane of the two marked northbound lanes. While traveling northbound, Hicks was slightly weaving the vehicle within her marked lane but occasionally would drive the left side tires onto the white, dotted line which separated the two northbound lanes. While continuing northbound on Wagner Avenue, Hicks utilized the vehicle’s left turn signal and properly switched to the inside northbound lane. Hicks eventually utilized her left turn signal again to enter the’ turn only’ lane and proceeded to slow down to turn left into Tolly’s restaurant, located at 644 Wagner Avenue. Hicks began to perform the left turn into Tolly’s parking lot by crossing the yellow centerline and entering into the southbound lane of Wagner Avenue. As the left front tire crossed into the southbound lane, Hicks abruptly changed her course of direction and continued northbound in the’ turn only’ lane of Wagner Avenue. During this time, PO continued northbound in the inside lane of northbound Wagner Avenue. Hicks continued northbound in the’ turn only’ lane and eventually turned left into the Treaty Manor parking lot, 650 Wagner Avenue. Hicks’ actions were suspicious, thus PO pulled into a parking lot near the Treaty Manor, in an attempt to observe Hicks’ actions. After approximately two minutes, Hicks exited the Treaty Manor parking lot, continuing southbound on Wagner Avenue. PO immediately exited the parking lot, continued southbound on Wagner Avenue and upon doing so, Hicks immediately turned right into Tolly’s parking lot. Tolly’s restaurant is located within a shopping center with other stores, which at this time of day, all of the stores, including Tolly’s restaurant were closed. Hicks proceeded to travel to and park the involved vehicle at the rear of the shopping center, in what appeared to be an attempt to evade this officer. PO proceeded to wait for Hicks to exit the shopping center and after waiting for approximately two and a half minutes, PO proceeded to drive my marked Greenville Police Department cruiser to the rear of the shopping center. As PO entered the shopping center’s parking lot, PO observed Hicks backing the involved vehicle out of a parking space. As PO continued to approach Hicks’ vehicle, Hicks stopped, paused and eventually pulled the vehicle forward into the same parking spot. Hicks’ actions were suspicious, thus PO exited his cruiser to make contact with Hicks. As PO exited my cruiser, a male subject later identified as, Omar Galindo, exited from the front passenger seat of the vehicle and approached the cruiser. Galindo was obviously intoxicated and his actions indicated he was attempting to prevent this officer from speaking to Hicks. While speaking with Galindo, Hicks eventually exited from the driver’s door [driver’s seat] of the involved vehicle. While speaking with Hicks’, PO noticed Hicks had an odor of an alcoholic beverage on or about her person, Hicks had glassy eyes and slurred speech. Hicks indicated she was driving Galindo home, which Hicks indicated Galindo lived near the traffic circle in Greenville, Ohio. When PO inquired why Hicks was traveling northbound on Wagner Avenue, instead of, southbound on Wagner Avenue (westbound on E. Main Street), if Hicks was driving Galindo home, Hicks and Galindo stated they parked at Treaty Manor and at the rear of the shopping center as Galindo had to urinate, Galindo was feeling ill and Hicks was attempting to ascertain Galindo’ s address. Hicks stated she is employed as a bartender at Tolly’s restaurant and was working as a bartender on the evening of February 15, 2024. Starting at approximately 8:00 PM, Hicks admitted to consuming two shots [of liquor] and two [alcoholic] seltzers. Hicks further stated after work, she proceeded to go to Sloopy’s Bar and Grill in Greenville, Ohio. PO did not inquire if Hicks consumed any further alcoholic beverages at Sloopy’s. Due to Hicks being in control of a motor vehicle and had caused movement of a motor vehicle, while under the influence of an alcoholic beverage( s), PO requested Hicks to perform the following Standardized Field Sobriety Test( s). Due to Hicks failing to properly perform the given Standardized Field Sobriety Test(s), Hicks was placed under arrest for having physical control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. PO placed Hicks in handcuffs. Hicks’ person was searched, incident to arrest, with no contraband found. PO proceeded to transport Hicks to the Greenville Police Department. At the Greenville Police Department, Hicks was read/shown the BMV 2255 form. After reading the BMV 2255 form, PO requested Hicks to voluntarily take a chemical breath test via the Intoxilyzer 8000 to determine the concentration of alcohol in Hicks’ system. After discussing the consequences of whether or not to take the chemical breath test, Hicks agreed she would voluntarily take the test. The Intoxilyzer 8000 revealed Hicks had a blood alcohol concentration of .213 of one gram by weight of alcohol per two hundred ten liters of the person’s breath.
