[Get comfortable — this is a long one. The original video is well over three hours.]
On December 9, 2017 at 2:56 a.m., Officer Gary Koon of the Bainbridge Island Police Department stopped a red Mazda on suspicion of DUI after observing the vehicle drift onto and over both the white fog line and center yellow line several times.
The driver was a young woman named Veronica, and upon contact with her Officer Koon smelled the aroma of an alcoholic beverage. Veronica admitted to drinking wine earlier in the night, and Officer Koon requested that she perform voluntary Standardized Field Sobriety Tests. While making more excuses than you’ve ever heard in your life, Veronica simultaneously performed poorly on all three tests.
Based on her driving over the lane lines, the odor of an alcoholic beverage, her admission to drinking, and her poor performance on the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, Officer Koon placed Veronica under arrest for DUI — but not before she managed to call her parents to join her on scene.
Veronica subsequently blew a 0.079 and 0.081 BAC on BiPD’s Datamaster breathalyzer. She was booked into the Kitsap County Jail, with no bail set due to her having a previous DUI arrest within the past ten years.
On December 18, 2018, Veronica was adjudged guilty of RCW 46.61.502 Driving Under the Influence. She was sentenced to 364 days in jail, with 360 days suspended for five years, and four days to serve. Subsequent her jail sentence Veronica was required to spend 180 days on electronic monitoring, pay a long list of fees and fines, and take various classes and evaluations. Her arrest report, DUI packet, and court sentencing documentation have been posted on Patreon.

Wow, she really dragged this out. Cop really wanted to get her off, but didn't waste enough time.
Lived in Kingston for 2 years. Taking the ferry from Seattle to Bainbridge and then driving from BI to Kingston is less than an hour depending on ferry traffic. But it’s backroads and slick most of the time. Even drinking a little bit makes those narrow roads tougher. And getting a dui there is easier than you think, I know from experience.
I wonder if she was a man and pulled the mom and dad crying act thing, I wonder how that would have of worked out?
Sorry did she apologise?
U can ACE this test but the last part of it WILL be a breathalyzer…which will come to the conclusion that what u did for the last 15-30min was for ABSOLUTELY nothing lol
so if police ask u to take a field sobriety test..
Jus ask for the breathalyzer & save urself the sweat
So she’s finally taken to jail and still allowed to use her phone? Must be nice 🙄
BS girl, you a drunk
The parents suck too
That cop needed to be more stern with that foolish girl. It's sexism and totally wrong.
Lock her up.
Holy shit!! Why didn’t they throw her a DUI party?? and send all the jailers home until she leaves, then bring them back??? Or why don’t the cop sit in jail with her until she gets out?? Didn’t she say that she was afraid of him?? Un friggin real!!!
This is the most accommodating DUI stop I have ever seen in my life tf
I watch a lot of these law enforcement videos and this is the only one I’ve seen where the officer asks if the handcuffs are on too tight.
How did I know I could quit smoking after 24 yrs.? I realized that no one ever died from not smoking a cigarette. I wonder if the same applies to drinking alcohol.
Definition of privileged. I woulda been beaten two min into this sharades
Her laugh is so unpleasant sounding
she looks like regina george had a midlife crisis
"I'm scared of the police tho!!!"
sorry, veronica, you might have reason to fear the police in-general and particular officers but you had absolutely no reason to fear officer Koon, he behaved with the utmost respect and patience for the entirety of the stop. you were just scared because you realized you're probably gonna get arrested for a DUI.
Can I Google it real quick?
