He took a cab to Village Street in an attempt to locate the vehicle. However, the officer alleged, “Murray was not able to tell me his friend’s name who told him about his vehicle being taken, the bar he was at, or the individual who had driven his vehicle from the bar,” and also had the VW keys dangling from his belt loop. When asked about the keys, Murray allegedly stated, “That is a good question, I do not know how I got them.” He later reportedly stated he found them on the ground and denied drinking and driving. “I am too drunk to drive,” he allegedly stated. After being questioned and not appearing to be upset or surprised, the officer asked him why he hadn’t called police and he stated he was reportedly waiting for his father to show up.

The witness allegedly pointed to Murray and alleged he was the operator of the vehicle. The officer went back to speak with Murray who allegedly looked at the officer in a confused manner and again stated he was too drunk to drive. “I once again asked Mr. Murray if he was being honest with me about the incident,” the officer reported. “At that time he put his hands behind his back and stated, ‘Just arrest me, I am drunk.’” He agreed to a field sobriety test and then was arrested.
