Moore was asked to step out of the vehicle, and was eventually able to get out of the vehicle after an unsuccessful attempt at opening the door. She is reported as unsteady on her feet, and initially refused to participate in field sobriety tests, stating she was not drunk, and her destination was nearby. She eventually agreed, and all six indicators of impairment were observed on the HGN test. She refused to proceed to the next test, telling Officer Harriman she was not drunk, and was showing impairment factors because she had bad allergies, stating she had taken some NyQuil earlier in the day.

Madeline Moore was taken into custody, charged with DUI 3rd Offense, Revoked License, 2nd Offense, and violation of the implied consent law. A search warrant was obtained and executed for her blood, and she was then booked into jail. Moore posted a $5,500 bond the following day, and is scheduled to appear in court in May.
