DUI: Braenee Redden-Lee caught with marijuana, mushrooms and a fully loaded handgun

25-year-old Braenee Redden-Lee swerved over the center median on I-24 late April 13th. Then, she drifted, trying to return to her travel lane, but drove in both lanes. Officers observed this and initiated a traffic stop, where she was slow to respond and continued driving, disregarding their emergency equipment. Officers shined their spotlight at the driver’s side mirror to get her to pull over to the right shoulder, which she did after approximately 1.5 miles. They approached the passenger side and observed the driver, Redden-Lee, and passenger, Brea Williams, with an unidentified female in the car, reeking of alcohol.

When officers advised Redden-Lee why they stopped her and requested her driver’s credentials, she had a bracelet on her wrist like ones used at nightclubs to purchase alcoholic beverages. They discovered she had a suspended license and had her exit the vehicle for questioning.  When officers asked if she would take sobriety tests, she said, “No.”

During a search, officers located a black handgun with a loaded magazine. Redden-Lee was detained and placed in the rear of the patrol vehicle. The officers then asked Williams to exit the car, where she provided them with her identification and told them the vehicle was hers, stating, “Yes, I just bought it, and I am making $1000 payments a month.”  She was also detained and placed in the patrol car.

Officers searched the vehicle and found marijuana and mushrooms in a brown purse, which Redden-Lee claimed. Additionally, they found another package of marijuana in the center console, which Williams admitted was hers. Redden-Lee refused to provide a chemical sample after being informed of implied consent and was taken into custody for driving under the influence, two counts of simple possession, driving with a suspended license, implied consent violation, and possession of a weapon while under the influence.

41-year-old John Zachary Hendrix was asleep in his car in front of his friend’s Sigler Street Residence on April 15th. Officers conducted a welfare check near the location, where they observed Hendrix with what appeared to be an alcoholic beverage next to him in his cupholder before they woke him up. When he got up, he reeked of alcohol and told them that he was coming from “hanging out” at a friend’s house, which he was parked in front of. They asked him about the drink in the cupholder, and he said he had drunk it “long ago.” He could not recall when he left his friend’s or fell asleep. Then, he exited the car, unsteady on his feet, and took sobriety tests, where he performed poorly. Afterward, he told officers he did not want to take any additional tests, so they detained him, informed him of implied consent, where he refused to provide a chemical sample, and Mirandized him, during which he requested an attorney. During a further inspection of his vehicle, officers discovered the cup had remnants of alcohol, and the keys to his car, which is push-to-start, were in the other cupholder, readily available.
