The driver, Christina Bermudez, eventually pulled into a gas station, where she attempted to fill up her gas tank, while completely oblivious to the traffic stop.
In the video, she claims to have not noticed the police lights behind her because “it’s so dark.”
Before exiting her vehicle, the Bermudez claimed to not have had anything to drink and said she was missing a shoe.
After stepping out of the car, she begins to open her fuel tank before the deputy stops her.

Bermudez then said that she had “maybe a beer.”
She was arrested and taken to jail, where she provided a breath sample of .191 and refused to sign the DUI citation.
