during a traffic stop in New Mexico, okay, and then you have a bunch of

. in the car how many children do you have one two three four five six are these children for you this is my friend that is your friend the disturbing traffic stop occurred on July 5 of last year in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Dashboard camera footage shows a driver later identified as 41-year-old Jeremy Guthrie speeding across several lanes of the freeway before taking a dangerous turn.

It's okay, after this near miss. Guthrie is detained by foreign New Mexico State Patrol sergeants. How are you? Okay, yeah, okay, shoot your license. The body camera video shows a comment from the sergeant about Guthrie's erratic driving, there's a wall right there between your legs, sorry, he was a little nervous, as was I about the way you drive, huh, that's it , you mentioned that you were nervous, right? I was George while he was behind you driving down. I-40 you in lane number one sometimes only from lane number one to the end, then your signal had trouble keeping your beagle in one lane and then when merging from westbound 40 onto westbound 25 North, take that curve.

I did it too fast I'm sorry I thought you were going to crash No I don't know I didn't say I don't think so I'm just saying I thought you were going to crash the lifeguard and then comments about the six children inside the vehicle, officials later confirmed that the kids were 13 and 14 years old, okay, and then you have a group of kids in the car, how many kids do you have one, two, three, four, five, six, four, these kids, then Guthrie offers a strange response saying that children are his friends and that a

girl

is over 18 years old.

Uh, this is my friend, that's your friend, yeah, how's your friend? To me she will look 18 years old. Madam, how old is she? I'm not sure of her name. I actually found out it was when the

girl

refused to give her age. The sergeant asks Guthrie to exit the vehicle. Jeremy starts the car and comes back and talks to me, okay let me see the keys, thanks, come on, that's when they catch Guthrie with his zipper down, Roger, why the zipper, the buttons in the crotch, well, probably I forgot, it's okay, and I will find it? my zipper yes please buy your zipper yes I mean I had one I had to take it like piss and well at first Guthrie claims he hasn't been drinking but then admits he had a few drinks ago several hours, when was your last drink?

It's probably been a little bit like an hour, I'd say it's more than a minute, maybe two, yeah, more or less, okay, like two hours, that's fair because you know two hours is totally different than no, no. I have been drinking. You know what I mean, yeah, but I mean we're not going to argue about it, I mean, I know what I smell, I know what I hear, I know what I see, it's okay, it's that simple, I mean, yeah, I want say, I'm not going to lie to you. Well, you already did, you said I hadn't been drinking and then I kind of played, you said it was an hour ago like it wasn't two hours anymore, yeah, it's been a few hours, okay, I understand you, well, we're not going to argue. about it.

I mean, I know what I smell good, do you think it's safe to drive? Do you think it's safe to drive? Yes, you absolutely do it once again. You and I wouldn't agree on that either. I don't think you're sure. driving basically based on how you drive when the sergeant asks again about the kids inside Guthrie's vehicle, he has another strange answer, all those people on the card, who are they, they're just my friends, I mean, do you normally hang up? Date people who are young, no, how old are you? I'm 41. 41k, wait there, okay, the sergeant then walks up to the kids and asks their ages.

How old are you? Don't lie to me, okay? play this game where you lie. I know I know you're not 18. Okay, so if you want to have an attitude, you're in charge. Okay, let's go for another simpler way, so if so, if I feel any attitude or you. give me a lip we'll do it another way, okay, hallelujah 14. thank you, such a simple question 13. really 14, okay, okay 13. okay 14. okay, who is this guy to anyone? okay, so there's your friend, okay, then everyone has to call your parents, you see, okay, okay and happy. Parents meet, see you here.

The lifeguard explains that he could have saved all the children's lives that night by stopping Guthrie just so you guys know. Alright. I probably saved six lives tonight, at least six lives. I thought they would crash into that bench. He goes too fast and it is definitely not safe to drive. Oh yes, we told me that. He then talks to several parents calling them to come pick up their children. This is Sergeant Lafayette of the State Police. and you are your son along with the three or five other friends who guess, were in a vehicle with someone who, a man, is an adult who has no business driving, so he is out. we are now doing physical body tests and these kids need to be picked up while another first responder performs field sobriety tests with Guthrie so just to make sure you are okay to drive would you mind doing a couple of field sobriety tests just to Make sure that yes, yes, you would mind, or you would care, or you would like to do, is that right?

Do you care or do you want to do it? Do you want to do it? Yes or no. I really don't want to. I don't want to do them, no, no, okay, I'll just let you know, if you don't take the test, I'll have to put you under arrest, you want to take the test, okay, you don't know what's after each one. I don't like that one. Are you going to stop the test? Well, I'll still do the test. Okay, are you going to continue or can you stop right there? I just don't understand this. You're going backwards.
