Albuquerque Police video of Bryelle Marshall, 23, made national news this week.
Marshall was seen sleeping in her car near Zuni Road and Pennsylvania Street Friday night. According to a criminal complaint, police detected a strong odor of alcohol on her, but she told the officer otherwise.
An officer tried to conduct a sobriety test on Marshall (use the video link to see).
“Face that direction for me, with your whole body. We’re not doing yoga. I don’t know what you’re doing, put your hands down,” an officer said.
“Turn around and face me. Your whole body, face me. With your hands down…I don’t know what you’re doing,” the officer said.
“OK well I’ll demonstrate it for you. Right foot in front of your left, hands down at your side, not doing somersaults,” the officer said.
His instructions were in vain. The video depicted her doing a cartwheel instead of walking in a straight line.
Once the video was released it was covered not only in Albuquerque, but also Kansas City, Miami, New York and many other places.
“Have you consumed any alcoholic beverages today?” the Albuquerque Police officer asked.
“No, I’m fine,” Marshall replied.
The officer warned her to not do another cartwheel.
“Don’t do it, because you’re going to hit me and I’m going to charge you with a battery,” the officer said.
“OK, we’re done,” the officer said.
Police said she kicked the officer in the leg after she was arrested.
Marshall was charged with battery and aggravated DWI for refusing the breathalyzer. She was not listed in Bernalillo County jail records on Wednesday.
