As the vehicle approached the intersection of M and 25th streets it slowed and attempted to turn. The officer positioned the police vehicle beside and slightly in front of the Toyota preventing it from turning east on 25th Street. The vehicle came to a stop.Â
The officer then asked Hooten why she didn’t stop and she told the officer she didn’t see him. The officer said Hooten was intoxicated and failed several field sobriety tests.
