OVI suspect flips out.
Tanner Watson who ultimately was charged with speeding and OVI nailed the landing of that backflip that was caught on police bodycam, and he even received some praise from officers. But, they also made it clear that operating a vehicle while under the influence is a serious matter, and a gymnastics move, no matter how impressive, does not constitute a drunk driving test.
Officers on the scene said Watson who was driving and had three passengers in the vehicle, came to an awkward stop, had extremely glossy eyes and a strong odor of alcohol was coming from the vehicle. But, according to a report, police observed 6 clues of impairment as Watson took a horizontal gaze test. As the officer instructed Watson to keep his eyes on the tip of the officer’s finger, Watson says something on the body cam video that was difficult to decipher, and then tells police, “You went back and forth too many times. I’m getting a little dizzy over here.”
Watson said he was not under the influence of any drugs, but, begins to yell at the officer and repeatedly ask how he wants him to walk a straight line, “To me I picture a straight line compared to your straight line, it would be obscured,” as Watson appears to slur his words.
