Colorado Teen Lies That She Got Out of DUI By Flirting With Cop, Bodycam Footage Reveals The Truth

However, the video from the interaction, released Monday afternoon by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, disputes her assertion. It does not have any indication that the deputy gave his number to her or pursued any romantic intentions in exchange for less legal trouble.

After pulling her over, the deputy tells her he noticed her weaving moving back and forth between lanes and wanted to check if she was okay. The teenager is seen crying while telling she officer she was recently dumped and was trying to call her ex.

“I’m just concerned that you were weaving because of alcohol,” said the deputy. “But if you were just on your phone have you been drinking or anything tonight?” The teen shakes her head “no” to indicate that she was not drinking. The deputy did not give her a breathalyzer test. He did not do any further tests to see if she was drunk.

“It sounds like you’re having a rough night, so I’m not going to add to that by writing you a ticket or anything, OK?” the deputy said. Parts of the video is redacted and audio muted because the law enforcement agency claims it contains identifying information in it.

Teen Wasn’t Subjected to Breathalyzer As She Didn’t Exhibit Any Signs of Intoxication

Jenny Fulton, the director of public affairs for the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, said the deputy did not notice any signs that the teen was drunk or evidence of alcohol in her car. He also did not smell alcohol, which is why she was not administered a breathalyzer test.

During the traffic stop, the 18-year-old also told the deputy she didn’t have the car’s insurance an offense the deputy didn’t ticket for. Fulton said the deputy was using his discretion and likely had compassion for story the young woman shared. She said the sheriff’s office feels frustrated about the circumstances.

Teen Apologizes and Admits to Lying

In an interview with Denver 7, the teen admitted to lying in the video but said she was, in fact, drinking in the hours before she recorded the video. “I’m not gonna lie to the news… I’ve already lied enough, but I was intoxicated,” she said. “I was drinking. I was drinking from, like, 11 p.m. to, like, two or three in the morning that day.”

She also apologized for the lives she put at-risk and the lies she told. “I thought I was being funny. I was like, ‘Oh my God, look at me. I just got out. I’m surprised I didn’t get arrested!’ but I’m so deeply sorry,” the 18-year-old said. “That’s not who I am as a person. If I could go back in time and take it all back, I would. I have never felt so bad.” She has not been charged as of publishing.

The following caption was shared by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office on YouTube:

“Body worn camera video that shows a traffic stop one of our deputies made at 4:41 a.m. on Saturday, April 2. We are releasing this video to dispute a social media video that the driver in this traffic stop posted on Sunday, April 3, claiming our deputy released her with a warning after she blew a “3.8″ BAC. Our deputy did not conduct any DUI tests during the traffic stop because there was no evidence she had been drinking. She did not slur her speech, smell of alcohol, have any other physical signs of intoxication, and there was no evidence of alcohol in the vehicle.

The deputy mutes the video at 1:27 when he returns to his vehicle to run her driver’s license and vehicle license plate. He unmutes at 5:37 when he resumes contact with the driver. The driver’s drivers license and the deputy’s computer screen are redacted from the video, as well as the vehicle license plate.”
