34-year-old Leighton Allen was illegally parked in a lane on Broadway near 12th Ave early on September 15th. Once she began moving again, his lights were not on, so police conducted a traffic stop. Police described Leighton as visibly intoxicated, and he said that he had sangrias earlier that night. He was asked to perform sobriety tests and showed signs of intoxication. While police read him the implied consent form, he yelled over the police, and a sober driver picked up the passengers from Leighton’s vehicle. The officer obtained a search warrant and served it at General ER for Leighton’s blood.
