On Friday June 26, 2026 at 2154 Hours, a gold Nissan Altima driven by Jonathan Dolly Jr drove up to a license check at Denny Dobbs park. There were multiple patrol cars in the area with active blue lights and all law enforcement checking drivers were wearing traffic safety vests and law enforcement uniforms. Dolly only had an Identification Card on his person and not his Driver’s License. His vehicle was pulled off to the side so his license status could be checked.

While speaking to Dolly, I saw his eyes were bloodshot and droopy. He also appeared nervous and kept shifting around in the vehicle. I asked him if there was any marijuana in the vehicle, and he hestitantly said there was not. I asked him if there were any firearms in the vehicle, and he again hesitantly responded there were not. I asked for K-9 handler Officer Waddel and K-9 Atlas to conduct a free-air sniff of the vehicle. K-9 Atlas positively alerted on the odor of drugs next to the driver’s side door.

All three occupants were removed from the vehicle and searched. A search of the vehicle by Deputy Pope and Deputy Hollie yielded a Glock firearm and a small bag containing less than one ounce of marijuana and a plastic bag containing several white oval shaped pills stamped “T194.” Those pills were identified on pills.com as potentially Oxycodone, which is a Schedule 2 controlled substance. Dolly later claimed ownership of the drugs.

While other deputies were searching the car, I began running field sobriety on Dolly. Before beginning the tests, I asked him when he smoked marijuana. He admitted to smoking approximately one and a half hours before driving. Based on my training and experience as a Drug Recognition Expert, smoked marijuana is typically psychoactive for approximately 3-4 hours.

Dolly was disoriented, and he appeared drowsy. He later exhibited impaired memory during SFST/ARIDE evaluations because he could not remember instructions and had to ask me to repeat them several times. Dolly initially denied smoking marijuana but later admitted that he had smoked around 8 pm. He estimated the current time to be 10 pm (actual time 9:51 pm).

Horizontal and Vertical Gaze Nystagmus: No validated clues observed. Dolly did lose focus several times and had to be told to focus on the stimulus.

Walk and Turn: Instructions had to be repeated twice. Dolly missed heel-to-toe several times on his first set of steps. He stopped before turning to ask what he was supposed to do next. He did not turn as instructed but instead pivoted on his lead foot and swung his other foot around. Dolly missed heel-to-toe several times on his second set of steps.

One Leg Stand: While counting, Dolly skipped from 1,010 to 1,012. Dolly counted to 1,031 in 30 seconds.

Lack of Convergence: Dolly’s eyes were unable to converge. He could track the stimulus in toward his nose, but once his eyes crossed, his right eye moved on its own back to being straight on instead of looking at the stimulus.

Modified Rhomberg: Dolly did not remember to say “stop” after estimating thirty seconds. He counted 1,2,3, etc to 30. He estimated 30 seconds in 19 actual seconds. He had visible eyelid tremors throughtout the evaluation.

Finger to Nose: Dolly used the pad of his finger instead of the tip on all attempts. He held his first attempt and had to be told to move his arm back to his side. Dolly missed the tip of his nose and had to search for it on attempts 1 and 4. Eyelid tremors were again visible.

Dolly was placed into handcuffs and informed he was under arrest for DUI. He was read the Implied Consent Notice for Suspects Age 21 or Over. Dolly refused to submit to a blood test. Dolly was read the Miranda Warning, but he decided to exercise his right to remain silent. Dolly was turned over to Inmate Transport on scene.

Warrants will be obtained for:
DUI Drugs
Possession of Marijuana Less than 1 Ounce
Possession of a Schedule 2 Substance
Drugs not in Original Container

The drugs were turned over to Cpl Salers #9119 on scene.
