The driver, Edmund, told deputies that they were riding around and started doing donuts, and that’s when the vehicle tipped over and crashed. When asked if he was drinking, Edmund told the deputies that he had drank around six or seven Bud Light beers.
The deputies then performed a DUI test on Edmund, which he failed, and he was placed under arrest. He agreed to an intoximeter test and his BAC came back at .048.
