On 05/07/2025 approximately 21:14 I, Cpl Vannoy conducted a traffic stop on a White SUV due to failure to maintain lane.
While traveling North on Treadwell Rd I noticed a White SUV crossing the white fog line. While observing the vehicle I noticed it crossing the white fog line multiple times to where it almost went into the grass field. When we approached the Homeland Baptist Church I then activated my blue lights to signal for the vehicle to come to a complete stop. The vehicle then pulled into the parking lot of Homeland Baptist. I then advised dispatch of the Georgia tag [REDACTED] which came back to a Ford Expedition to an [WITNESS #1] subject.
I then approached the driver side of the vehicle where I made contact with a female in physical control of the motor vehicle. I then explained the reason for the stop was due to failure to maintain lane to the female who was identify as Summer Taylor. Summer Taylor advised she was just trying to get to her friends house. I then asked Summer Taylor for her license where she advised she did not have them, and did not have her 1205 form. While Summer Taylor was speaking I noticed the odor of what I believed to be an alcoholic beverage coming from her person. I then collected her full name and date of birth at this time. After I checked Summer Taylor for warrants and valid driver license I went back to the driver side of the vehicle.
I then asked Summer Taylor why she had a 1205 form where she advised me she had gotten a dui about a month ago. I then asked Summer Taylor if she had been drinking tonight where she stated no. Summer Taylor then stated this was her mom vehicle, and she was not use to driving it. I then asked Summer Taylor if she would do some test, where she stated their was nothing in the vehicle. Summer Taylor then shook her head no to me at this time. I then asked Summer Taylor if she would complete a breathalyzer test where she stated yes. I then collected my pbt and explained to Summer Taylor what to do. After Summer Taylor completed the pbt it did show a positive result for alcohol present on her breath being 0.08 on the screen. Summer Taylor stated that was the legal limit in the state of Georgia.
I then asked Summer Taylor if she wanted to complete standardized field sobriety. Summer Taylor stated she was almost to her friends house. I then explained to her due to her driving, the odor of an alcoholic beverage and the pbt showing a positive result for alcohol present I believed her to be under the influence. Summer Taylor agreed to complete standardized field sobriety. I then went back to my patrol car to place my pbt inside of my vehicle. When I went back to Summer Taylor vehicle she was on the phone speaking to someone. Summer Taylor ask if she did not complete standardized field sobriety would she go to jail where I stated yes based on what I have observed so far during the interaction. Summer Taylor then asked if she could call someone to get her where I stated no. Summer Taylor then became argumentative with me about the legal limit in the state of Georgia. Summer then got out of the vehicle to complete standardized field sobriety.
I then walked Summer Taylor to the back of her vehicle and placed her in the starting position for horizontal gaze and nystagmus. I then asked Summer Taylor if she had suffered any recent head injuries where she stated no. I then explained to Summer Taylor to follow the tip of my finger with her eyes only, and not to move her head. After I was done explaining the instructions I asked Summer Taylor if she understood where she stated yes. I then checked for equal tracking of both eyes, where both eyes followed correctly. I then checked for lack of smooth pursuit where I noticed two clues in both eyes. I then checked for nystagmus at maximum deviation where I noticed two clues in both eyes. I then checked for onset of nystagmus prior to 45 where I noticed two clues in both eyes. I observed a total of six out of six clue during this test.
I then asked Summer Taylor if she wanted to completed the walk and turn test, where she asked if we could do it somewhere more level. I advised we would if she wanted to do the test. Summer Taylor then started to walk towards her vehicle at this time where she grabbed her phone and dropped it. Summer Taylor asked if she had to complete the test where I stated no she does not. Summer Taylor stated she just got out of jail today, and she did not want to go to jail. Summer Taylor then asked if she could have someone pick her up where I stated no. Summer Taylor then started to cry, and advised she just wanted to go to her friends house. Summer Taylor then stated I did not have to do this. I had asked Summer Taylor multiple times if she would complete the walk and turn test where she would not answer my question. Summer Taylor then answered her phone where she started to speak with someone stating she was going to jail.
Due to Summer Taylor not answering my question about completing the test I decided to place her under arrest. I then went to remove the phone from Summer Taylor to place her under arrest where she started to jerk away from me. Summer Taylor then would not allow me to place hand cuffs on her at this time. I then was able to place hand cuffs to fit and double lock on Summer Taylor where she was then placed in the back seat of my patrol car.
I then checked the vehicle Summer Taylor was driving for open containers. I located an open bottle of tequila in the center console. I then located a shot glass where I noticed the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from it also. I then went to the back seat of my patrol car where I then read Georgia Implied Consent to Summer Taylor asking for a blood draw. Summer Taylor agreed to the blood draw at this time. Deputy Hammontree arrived on scene to wait for Babb’s Towing to retrieve the vehicle, while I transported Summer Taylor to Murray Medical. When I arrived to Murray Medical I walked Summer Taylor into the hospital. While sitting in the seat at Murray Medical Summer Taylor started to bang her head against the wall, where I told her to stop multiple times. Summer Taylor then asked if she was going home after the blood draw where I stated no. Summer Taylor then stated she would not complete the blood draw at this time. I then advised Summer Taylor to stand up where she would not at this time. I then asked the nurses if they would get the hospital security to assist me. Summer Taylor then got up and started to walk out of the hospital at this time. When we left the room [REDACTED] with Advent Security walked with us to my patrol car. Summer Taylor was then transported to the Murray County Jail without incident.
While at the jail Summer Taylor made the statement to Jail Cpl Burch that her children were left alone at her residence. Myself and Deputy Burch then went to [1200 BLOCK] Davenport Rd to locate the children. When we arrived contact was made with [WITNESS #1] who is Summer Taylor’s mother. [WITNESS #1] stated the children had been with her since her daughter had left the residence. Summer Taylor will be charged with dui, failure to maintain lane, license not on person, open container, and obstruction through Probate Court.
