May 16, 3 a.m.
An officer observed a blue BMW traveling southbound on the 3600 block of South International Parkway. The vehicle crossed the yellow solid line to its left, causing the vehicle to drive on the improved shoulder. At the 3800 block of South International Parkway, the vehicle failed to maintain a single lane in which it began weaving between the lanes. At the 4200 block of South International Parkway, the vehicle drifted to the left crossing into the channelized island in which it would go on to swerve to the right; the vehicle would go on to drive in between the two left lanes. The vehicle was also traveling at a high rate of speed. The officer activated his overhead emergency lights, stopping the vehicle at the 4400 block of South International Parkway.
Upon the officer approach, the driver of the vehicle identified himself. The driver’s window was not working, so the driver opened his door to speak with the officer. The officer could smell the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from inside the vehicle. When asked for his driver’s license, the driver pulled out his debit card. He corrected himself, and then pulled out his driver’s license. When asked if he had had an alcoholic beverage to drink, the driver said yes. The driver told the officer he was out at Ruth’s Chris and had one beer with his friend. The officer noticed the driver’s pants were unzipped and his crotch was wet.
A second officer arrived on scene to assist. Officers asked the driver to exit the vehicle in order to conduct the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests. Once out of the vehicle, officers asked the driver again how much alcohol he had consumed. The driver advised he did not have alcohol to drink and would further explain the reasoning was because he was a Muslim and only had one beer approximately two hours prior.
The first test administered was the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN). Officers turned off their front flashing emergency lights and faced the driver away from on-coming traffic in order to prevent any interference or distractions during the test.

The third test administered was the One Leg Stand. Officers fully explained and demonstrated the test and the driver stated he understood. Officers observed three of a possible four clues.
Based on the driving clues, personal contact, and the field sobriety test, officers felt the driver did not have the normal use of his mental and physical faculties by reason of the introduction of alcohol into the body. The driver was operating a motor vehicle on a public roadway, and he could not safely operate a motor vehicle without putting himself or others in danger. The driver was placed under arrest for Driving While Intoxicated.

Three officers were dispatched to two intoxicated male passengers who had just boarded a Frontier Flight at Terminal E, Gate E20. Upon arrival officers were advised both passengers were off the aircraft, however, one was standing near the door of the aircraft with one foot inside the door. Officers were advised by a Frontier Supervisor that two passengers boarded the aircraft and were extremely loud and unruly. The odor of alcohol could be detected, and their policy is not to allow anyone to fly who has a strong odor of alcohol coming from them. The senior flight attendant for the flight advised officers the two individuals were too drunk to fly with them as it is against their policy.
Officers made contact with the individual who was standing in the entrance way of the aircraft. Officers asked the first suspect what was going on and he said, “Nothing. I have done nothing. They asked me to get off the plane.” Officers advised the suspect they were called to the location as he had been denied flying with Frontier Airlines due to his level of intoxication.
Officers observed the suspect had blood shot eyes, slurred speech and an extremely strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his breath. Officers asked the suspect if he had been drinking alcohol and he replied, “Yeah, I have been drinking alcohol. Everybody on this plane has been drinking alcohol.” Officers requested the suspect to move away from the door of the aircraft so they could depart, and he refused as he held out his hands and said, “Arrest me.” The suspect was of an extremely large muscular build and wanted to be argumentative about moving from the door of the aircraft. The suspect advised he hadn’t done “sh**” wrong but they could arrest him. The suspect stated, “Go ahead and buckle me and my foot will be right there. The moment you put the seatbelt on me or whatever, then I will step off.”
Officers utilized two pair of handcuffs to secure the suspect’s hands behind his back, and then he complied and stepped away from the aircraft door. Once the suspect was handcuffed and moved away from the aircraft entry door, he was unsteady on his feet and seemed confused. Officers attempted to speak with the suspect who in return made the following statement, “I know my rights… I wasn’t opposed to talking to you, I was opposed to handling it myself.”
Officers made contact with the other individual. The second suspect was leaning up against the jet-bridge wall to help with his balance as he was extremely unsteady on his feet. Officers observed the suspect swaying and helped to steady him at one point.

Officers advised DFW DPS Communications they had two subjects under arrest for Public Intoxication and requested a transport unit to Terminal E, Entrance E14. One officer advised he would escort the second suspect, while another escorted the first suspect to the outside upper curb. Officers informed both suspects the charge is Public Intoxication as the second suspect could not remember what had just been told to him.
While in transit to the outside curb, the first suspect was becoming more verbal and making comments. The first suspect was unsteady on his feet while walking up the jet bridge and bumped into the wall. Officers assisted the second suspect in keeping his balance and walking due to him being unsteady on his feet. The second suspect informed officers he had three shots and one beer because his flight was delayed.
While exiting from the sterile to the public side, the first suspect pulled away from the officer and said, “Get the f*** off me.” The first suspect continued to be verbally hostile toward the officer as he called him a “f***ing p***y” and continued with the profanity on the curb. The first suspect refused to sit down and tried to turn around and face the officer as he yelled, “You’re a f***ing p***y. I’m a real Marine.” Officers tried to speak with the first suspect and have him sit on the bench but he continued to be argumentative and refused to sit. The first suspect said, “I hope I never meet you face to face, Marine, look at that.” While the first suspect was being searched in front of the patrol unit, he turned and said, “Sir if I ever see you again, I am going to hit you in the face.” The first suspect allowed another officer to search him and place him the back seat of the car where he was transported to DFW DPS Jail to complete the book in process.
The second suspect was searched and transported to the DFW DPS Jail to complete the book-in process without incident.

Theft
May 20, 12:50 p.m.
An officer was dispatched to 754 Port America in reference to a report of theft. Upon arrival, the officer made contact with the reporting party. The victim advised someone had moved his semi-trailer, broken the lock and taken four pallets containing approximately 50 fertilizer bags on each pallet for a total of 200 bags with an estimated value of $3,500. The fertilizer belonged to the victim and was being stored in the trailer.
The victim stated he had last seen the cargo in the trailer when he checked it on May 13 and believed the theft had occurred between then and approximately 12:20 today when he first noticed the trailer had been moved and the fertilizer was missing. The victim further advised the trailer had originally been parked on the North (NE corner) end of 754 Port America. When he returned today, the trailer had been moved to the North (NW corner) end of 756 Port America. The victim believed the suspect had hooked up to the trailer, moved it to the new location and then taken the pallets of fertilizer from the trailer.
The victim stated he wishes to have charges brought against the suspect for the theft. The officer observed security cameras on buildings 754 and 756 Port America which were facing the loading docks. The officer was unable to make contact with the occupants of the building near the cameras. Because an unknown person took the victim’s property without his effective consent, depriving him of his property, a theft report was generated.
