When asked to perform sobriety tests, Meyer did not consent. Meyer was then detained, refused to give additional statements, and refused implied consent. Upon searching Meyer’s person, officers found a receipt in his pocket showing the purchase of seven alcoholic beverages from a nearby bar. When asked about vehicle insurance, Meyer could not provide proof, claiming his phone was dead. Meyer was then transported and later charged with criminal trespass, driving under the influence, leaving the scene of an accident, refusing implied consent, and failure to provide insurance.
