A woman has been arrested after she did cartwheels during her field sobriety test, police say.
Bryelle Marshall, 23, was arrested and charged with battery, aggravated DWI and for an expired license plate after her vehicle was reported seen driving recklessly.
Officers say they found Marshall asleep behind the wheel of her parked car over the weekend in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
They woke Marshall up and asked her to step out of the vehicle. Police say appeared to be extremely intoxicated and was having a hard time listening to the officers' commands.
The incident was recorded by one of the officer's body cameras.
A DWI officer was giving Marshall instructions on how to complete the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFSTs) to which she responded by laughing and doing cartwheels in front of the officers.
The officer then attempted to demonstrate the tests to Marshall when she completed another cartwheel and struck the officer in the back.
At that point, Marshall's opportunities to complete the tests were over and she was arrested.
HOLY MOLEY!
I’m thankful Al Gore hadn’t yet invented the internet when I got my DUI.
Those drunk driving tests are really tough. I can’t even do a cartwheel stone sober.
Not guilty.
I strongly disapprove. Assuming she was not faking sleep and was really parked to sleep it off, that is what we want our drunks doing. Ticketing and arresting her because she's drunk and not driving provides an incentive for other drivers to try to make it home. As for her bumping an officer during her cartwheel, that's not battery, it's clumsiness on her part and stupidity for the cop to stand that close to a drunk girl doing cartwheels.
Were the cartwheels in a straight line?
OK Laz
This one is NOT GUILTY!
And dumb as a bag of hammers so it is a twofer!
Hmm... well, certainly not easy with a wheel barrow full of manure.
I’d hit it, but she will age poorly.
That video was painful. I don’t know what took so long for them to arrest her, since it was obvious in the first 30 seconds she was wasted out of her mind.
Agree 100% The girl showed some judgement in not attempting to drive. This arrest routine indeed urges getting home rather than safely stopping driving.
Who cares. The only thing to consider is was she wearing panties.
Wait a minute... was seen driving recklessly/was sleeping in a parked car
Just looked at the video. Damnit girl, go out in a dress, not tights. Cartwheels with no panties in tights will not get you driven home by the cops. Amateur!!!
That was hilarious.
A little more fit, she might have been innocent
I couldn’t walk a straight line on my best day

True....that was Part II to the ‘command’ (bait)
Stand on one leg and jump 10 times OR count backwards from 100 by 8’s.
“Hell, I can’t do that when I am sober”
“Turn around and put your hands behind your back”
