On 08/16/2026 at approximately 0013 hours, I was requested by Officer Maranville to assist with a traffic stop on I-75 northbound near mile marker 187. Upon my arrival, I observed Officer Maranville making contact with the driver, identified as Mr. Mark Harry.
Officer Maranville stated that, upon running Mr. Harry’s driver’s license through Monroe County Dispatch, he discovered that Mr. Harry had an active warrant for his arrest out of Gwinnett County, Georgia, for larceny. Officer Maranville then placed Mr. Harry in handcuffs behind his back and checked the handcuffs for proper fit.
While doing so, I detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from Mr. Harry’s person. Officer Maranville informed me that he also detected the odor and requested that I conduct a DUI investigation on Mr. Harry.
I made contact with Mr. Harry and asked if he had consumed any alcoholic beverages. Mr. Harry stated that he had been at the racetrack and had consumed tequila. I requested that Mr. Harry perform standardized field sobriety exercises, to which he consented.
Mr. Harry was released from the handcuffs so that he could perform the field sobriety exercises. Prior to conducting the exercises, I asked Mr. Harry if he had any medical conditions or physical limitations that would prevent him from performing the exercises. Mr. Harry stated that he had a bone spur in his leg. I asked Mr. Harry if the bone spur would prevent him from walking in a straight line, turning, or standing on one leg. Mr. Harry stated that it would not.
I then conducted the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test. I again asked Mr. Harry if he had any medical conditions that would prevent him from performing the test, to which he stated that he did not. During the HGN test, I observed six out of six clues:
Lack of smooth pursuit, left eye.
Lack of smooth pursuit, right eye.
Distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation, left eye.
Distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation, right eye.
Onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees, left eye.
Onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees, right eye.
While conducting the HGN test, I observed Mr. Harry fail to follow the stimulus multiple times and fail to keep his head still as instructed.
I then conducted the Walk-and-Turn test. Prior to conducting the test, I again asked Mr. Harry if he had any medical conditions that would prevent him from performing the test. Mr. Harry again mentioned the bone spur in his leg but stated that he could perform the test. I conducted the Walk-and-Turn test and observed six out of eight clues:
Cannot keep balance during instructions.
Starts before instructions are finished.
Stops walking to steady himself.
Does not touch heel to toe.
Steps off line.
Raises arms for balance.
I then conducted the One-Leg Stand test. I asked Mr. Harry if he had any medical conditions that would prevent him from performing the test. Mr. Harry again mentioned the bone spur in his leg but stated that he could perform the test using his opposite leg. I then conducted the One-Leg Stand test and observed four out of five clues:
Starts before instructions are finished.
Sways while balancing.
Uses arms for balance.
Puts foot down.
While conducting the One-Leg Stand test, I observed Mr. Harry place the heel of his foot on the ground in an attempt to maintain his balance when he first began the test.
I then requested that Mr. Harry submit to a Portable Breath Test (PBT), to which he consented. While returning to my patrol vehicle to obtain the PBT, Corporal Rodriguez, who was also on scene, began yelling that Mr. Harry had passed out.
Upon returning to the scene, I observed Mr. Harry lying on the ground. Mr. Harry appeared to be in a dazed state, staring into the distance and incoherently counting. Mr. Harry then regained consciousness. When I asked Mr. Harry why he had passed out, he stated that he believed we had told him to get on the ground.
I asked Mr. Harry if he had ingested any narcotics or other drugs, to which he stated that he had not. During this time, Mr. Harry again lost consciousness. Officer Maranville and I placed Mr. Harry in the recovery position and awaited the arrival of EMS. Mr. Harry subsequently regained consciousness.
At that time, I read Mr. Harry the Georgia Implied Consent Notice for Persons Age 21 or Over and requested a blood sample. Mr. Harry consented to the blood draw.
Upon EMS arrival, Mr. Harry was evaluated and determined to require transportation to Monroe County Hospital via ambulance. While Mr. Harry was in the rear of the ambulance and completely conscious, I again asked if he consented to a blood draw. Mr. Harry stated that he did. Mr. Harry was then transported to Monroe County Hospital by Monroe County EMS.
While Mr. Harry was receiving medical treatment at the hospital, I again asked if he consented to the blood draw. Mr. Harry stated that he did. The blood draw was subsequently conducted after Mr. Harry was medically cleared.
Mr. Harry was transported to the Monroe County Detention Center without incident.
The vehicle was released to Mid-Georgia Towing Service.
