The officer asked the driver about the headlight and the front passenger reportedly said, "It's our car," referring to the other female passenger seated behind her. The officer asked the driver if he had been drinking and again, the front passenger spoke before the driver could, according to the report. The woman reportedly told the officer that no one had been drinking. The officer told the passenger that he was speaking to the driver and the driver also said that no one had been drinking and that they had come from a friend’s house. “The driver appeared to be nervous as well as the other passengers," the officer said. The driver and all the other occupants were all under 21, according to the report. The driver was asked to get out of the car and he did. He denied drinking but hesitated answering as to whether or not the passengers had been drinking. The officer requested that the driver be honest and the driver stated that he was the “DD,” or designated driver. The driver agreed to a PBT and the reading was 0. Senter was then asked to get out of the vehicle and she agreed. According to the report, she denied drinking but the officer stated that she smelled like alcohol and her face was “red and flush.” Senter was later arrested.

The officer approached the vehicle and spoke with Miner who was the driver. The officer alleged that a scent of alcohol was coming from the vehicle and requested that all take a field sobriety test which they refused.
