32-year-old Matias Choc-Botzoc drank while swerving in his Toyota Corolla on Old Hickory Boulevard late April 24th. Officers observed this and activated their emergency equipment to initiate a traffic stop near Gallatin Pike South. However, Choc-Botzoc refused to comply and sped off onto Dupont Avenue until he got to his residence. Officers approached the driver’s side and noticed he reeked of alcohol. During their interaction, officers asked if Choc-Botzoc saw their sirens, to which he replied yes and admitted to consuming four beers. They then had him perform sobriety tests, where he showed multiple signs of impairment. After this, officers discovered that Choc-Botzoc did not have a valid driver’s license. After being read implied consent, he agreed to provide a breath sample, resulting in 0.180% BAC. Choc-Botzoc was taken into custody for driving under the influence, not having a valid driver’s license and evading arrest.
