CN: 20024852 - Flee Police in Motor Vehicle / DUIDate/Time: 10-09-2020 at 11:14 p.m.
Location: Northbound Rice Street and County Road BDriving Under the Influence (DUI) and Driving While Impaired (DWI) do not necessarily mean "Drinking and Driving." While driving northbound on Rice Street, a Roseville officer narrowly missed being hit head-on by a driver who was driving southbound in the northbound lane. (Note the time stamp in the upper left hand corner of the still shot images taken from the squad video and you will see the 3 pictures occurred over a 1 second period).
Both drivers avoided each other; with the officer quickly merging to their right and the suspect driving over the median into the appropriate lane. The officer made a u-turn and began pursuing the vehicle southbound on Rice and in the correct lanes. The vehicle slowed down then turned west onto Elmer Street without signaling. At this point, it appeared as if the driver was attempting to evade the officer as the vehicle did not have its tail lights on and the driver was increasing its speed while turning northbound onto Marion Street. The vehicle stopped and the driver quickly exited.
The officer advised the driver that he was under arrest and to lay down on the ground until other officers arrived. The driver was compliant with all commands. While laying on the ground, the driver uttered several spontaneous comments such as: "I know I am going to jail. I know I was driving the wrong way down the street." Officers had to assist the driver while he attempted to walk to the squad car due to his poor balance.
The driver offered that he had not consumed any alcoholic beverage but, he uses cocaine and methamphetamine regularly and daily, having used methamphetamine since the 1970's. The driver agreed to take a PBT (preliminary breath test) which registered as .000 or no significant level of alcohol in his system.
Officers determined that a Drug Recognition Expert would not be able to perform a sobriety test due to the driver's poor balance being a risk for injury. A warrant was written by officers, then signed (approved) by a Judge, in order to obtain a blood sample from the driver.
During the search of the vehicle, multiple narcotics and a fairly large amount of paraphernalia were located.
Adult Male arrested for Fleeing Police in a Motor Vehicle with additional charges to be considered upon lab testing.

 Note: This table rarely matches up with our UCR table due to some calls not yielding an actual crime and some calls yield unexpected crimes. For example, a friend may report that he loaned a car to a friend, but the car hasn't been returned, yet. This is a breach of trust (civil) not motor vehicle theft (criminal).
