In an incident occurring 2/14/07, report C662107, Trooper Leonard Rider (#673) wrote that he stopped a vehicle for extreme speeding from 85th St. in Kirkland onto I-405. The driver had "bloodshot and watery eyes," and the Trooper "immediately observed the odor of intoxicants coming from inside the vehicle." The driver refused FSTs. The driver was arrested for DUI.
Despite the Trooper's strong observations and conclusion to arrest for DUI, the driver blew .000/.000 at the station.
While this is an older case, the information may be helpful for future impeachment should you have this Trooper arrest your client and claim similar "observations."
