On Friday, August 21, 2026, at approximately 0552 hours, I, Deputy Sheriff C. Wilson, was patrolling Monroe County in the area of Interstate 75 southbound near mile marker 188 when I was advised by 911 Dispatch that multiple 911 calls had been received regarding a red 2017 Honda Civic bearing temporary license plate [REDACTED]. The vehicle was reportedly weaving across multiple lanes of Interstate 75 southbound near mile marker 193 and was believed to be operated by an intoxicated driver. A few minutes after receiving this information, I observed the vehicle traveling southbound past my location. I pulled behind the vehicle in order to observe its driving behaviors.

I immediately observed the vehicle begin to leave its lane of travel on both the left and right sides by several feet as it conducted exaggerated, snake-like driving patterns. It was apparent to me that the driver was either operating the motor vehicle in a heavily intoxicated state or was driving while distracted. Due to this moving violation, I activated my emergency equipment to initiate a traffic stop, and the vehicle slowly pulled over onto the left shoulder.

I approached the driver’s side of the vehicle, introduced myself, and informed the female driver of the reason for the traffic stop. I immediately detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from the vehicle. I also observed that the driver had bloodshot, glassy eyes, slurred and thick speech, and lethargic and slow body movements. At this point, it was immediately apparent to me that the female driver appeared to be operating her motor vehicle in an intoxicated state.

I instructed the driver to exit her motor vehicle so that I could conduct standardized field sobriety evaluations and further observe her condition. I identified the driver as Tiara Blocker. Once at my patrol vehicle, I asked Blocker how many alcoholic beverages she had consumed that morning. She told me that she had consumed only one large margarita and nothing else. Blocker stated that she was coming from a club in North Atlanta and was attempting to return to her residence in Stockbridge, Georgia. This information drew my attention because the Stockbridge, Georgia, exit from Interstate 75 is Exit 228, and the location where I had contacted Blocker was approximately 43 miles south of her intended direction of travel. After this brief conversation, Blocker agreed to perform standardized field sobriety evaluations.

Prior to beginning any evaluations, I first medically cleared Blocker. I asked her if she had any neurological conditions, naturally occurring nystagmus of her eyes, wore glasses or contacts, had any recent head injuries, or had any lower-body injuries that would affect her ability to perform heel-to-toe steps. Blocker told me that she did not.

The first evaluation I conducted was the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus evaluation (6 of 6 clues observed).

I placed Blocker into the starting position and explained the instructions to her in detail. She stated that she understood the instructions. Once I began conducting the evaluation, Blocker repeatedly moved her head despite being instructed to keep it still. Throughout the duration of the evaluation, she was repeatedly reminded to keep her head still but struggled to do so.

During the evaluation, I observed pupils of equal size, lack of smooth pursuit, distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation, onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees, and vertical nystagmus.

The next evaluation I conducted was the Walk-and-Turn evaluation (5 of 8 clues observed).

I explained the instructions to Blocker in detail. During the instruction portion, she was unable to maintain her balance in the starting position and broke from the position several times. Blocker stated that she understood the instructions.

During the performance portion of the evaluation, Blocker missed heel-to-toe steps, stepped off the line, leaned against the concrete median wall for balance, conducted an improper turn, and raised her arms for balance.

The final evaluation I conducted was the One-Leg Stand evaluation (2 of 4 clues observed).

I explained the instructions to Blocker in detail, and she stated that she understood them. During the evaluation, Blocker raised her arms for balance, placed her foot down several times, and swayed to and fro as well as from left to right.

Following the standardized field sobriety evaluations, I utilized my department-issued portable breath test, which produced a positive result for the presence of alcohol.

Blocker was placed under arrest for DUI and read Georgia Implied Consent for breath. She agreed to provide a breath sample.

Comer Towing impounded Blocker’s vehicle, and I transported her to the Monroe County Jail, where she was booked.

Utilizing the Intoxilyzer 9000, serial number 90-000758, Blocker produced a breath alcohol concentration of .156, nearly twice the legal limit. My Intoxilyzer certification number is 958338. The system was up to date and within compliance with all required calibration checks.

Blocker was served with a 1205 Notice of License Suspension form due to her alcohol level being greater than the legal limit.
