SUMMERY: S/WALTER was contacted in his vehicle that was broken down. He was
involved in a non-injury accident. Ke was later determined to be under the
influence of alcohol and was arrested for VC 23152{a) DUI and VC 23152(b) - over
108.
DETAILS:
On 3-9-16 at about 0752 hours, I was dispatched to the intersection of Broad and
QOroutt regarding a vehicle that was driving at a high rate of speed with a blown
front tire. The RP described the vehicle as a black Cadillac Bscalade truck,
with front-end damage and a blown front right tire. It was last seen southbound
on Broad toward Tank Farm. Dispatch received another call regarding that same
vehicle as it pulled over at Broad and Tank Farm.
I responded and located the vehicle on Broad just south of Tank Farm pulled over
to the west curb.
I contacted the driver, S/ Gary WALTER, who sitting in the driver's seat. 1 also
noticed his vehicle was still running and was in drive. S/WALTER identified
himself by his valid California drivers’ license. I asked him if he was ok and
he said "yes." I asked him how the front of his truck was damaged and he said he
had no idea. I had S/WALTER exit the truck and when he exited, I noticed he vas
unsteady on his feet. S/WALTER lcoked at the damage and still’had no idea how it
happened
1 haé $/WALTER sit on the curb ard requested San Luis Fire and San Luis
Ambulance to respond for possible medical issues. After speaking with him, h=
said he did not have and medical conditions. The paramedics checked him and
everything seemed normal.
While speaking with him I could smell _a faint odor of an alcoholic beverage
emitting from his breath and person. I asked $/WALTER if he bad been drinking
and he said "yes, last night.” 1 asked 8/WALTER if he would participate ina
few standard field sobriety tests and he said "yes."
During the horizontal gaze nystagmus test, I observed a lack of smooth pursuit,
distinct nystagmus at maximum deviation, and onset prior to an angle of 45
degrees in both of S/WALTER'S eyes.
I explained and demonstrated the Romberg test and during the test, S/WALTER
swayed approximately one to two inches from left to right and front to back. HeSan Luis Obispo Police Department

estimated 30 seconds when 21 seconds had elapsed.
1 explained and demonstrated the one leg stand test. During this test, S/WALTER
put his foot down nine times and stopped the test before finishing.
I explained and demonstrated the walk and turn test. S/WALTER lost his balance
while I was giving him the instructions. He missed heel to toe several times
during the test. He also did not point his feet in a straight line and took the
wrong number of steps.
After completing the tests, I asked S/WALTER if he would participate in a
Preliminary Alcohol Screening Test and he agreed to do so. On Preliminary
Alcohol Screening Device #004141, at 15 degrees, S/WALTER provided a breath
sample registering .155 BAC.
For further details, see my attached DUI investigation report
Based on my observations I believed S/WALTER was in violation of VC
23152 (a)-DUI. I placed him under arrested. I admonished S/WALTER per Trombetta,
1 advised S/WALTER of his obligation to take a chemical test zo determine hic
BAC and he chose to take a blood test.
I transported S/HALTER to the French Hospital and obtained a blood sample.
Phlebotomist A. Driscoll collected? the sample from S/WALTER'S right axm. She
used non-alcoholic cleaner to clean his arm. The blood draw was completed in a
medically approved manner, consistent with blood dravs I have seen in the past.
T seized the blood sample, placed it in an evidence envelope, and booked at the
county jail.
S/WALTER was provided a copy of 2 completed DMV 367 form. At his request, Slo
Tow was called and towed the vehicle due to the damage.
