On September 25th at 4:30 AM, Officers patrolling the area of Bayshore and Marin saw a vehicle drifting from its lane marker and then veering back into the lane. The vehicle swerved and suddenly crossed three lanes of traffic abruptly. The Officers pulled the car over and contacted the driver who had red watery eyes and slurred speech. He told that Officers that he did not drink, yet he had a very strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from his breath.
They performed field sobriety tests on the subject, who failed them all, and placed him under arrest. A breath test was conducted with the subject’s breath alcohol level being captured at .101%, well above the legal limit of .08%. He was booked at Bayview station for driving while under the influence of alcohol. (SFPD Case No. 110772432)

On September 27th at 5:30 PM, Officers were driving in the area of 16th and 7th when they observed a subject trying to open a car door with a key. This might have appeared normal if the subject had not failed multiple times and then attempted to open the passenger door. Having failed this as well, the suspect walked away from the vehicle and was detained by the officers.
All the keys in his possession had been filed down which is a common tool thieves use to open or start vehicles. Additionally, his first response to being detained was that he was not trying to steal the car. He also stated, “I’m just looking for change in the cigarette compartment. You know every car has change in the cigarette compartment.” After having admitted to trying to boost the vehicle, the suspect was placed under arrest and booked for attempted auto burglary at Bayview Station.
