Officer Hicks then made contact with Justice Austin of Glasgow who was speaking on the phone with his girlfriend. It appeared that Austin had slurred speech so Officer Hicks asked Austin if he was under the influence of any drugs which he stated he was not. Officer Hicks asked if Austin would consent to a field sobriety test and Austin stated that he would. While performing HGN Austin had red glossy eyes. Austin declined to consent to One Leg Stand and Walk & Turn due to medical reasons. Girlfriend and owner of the vehicle, Chelsea Murrhee arrived on the scene.
At this time Officer Houchens gained consent to search the vehicle. While searching the vehicle Officer Hicks found a rolled brown blunt in the floor board. Officer Hicks retrieved this blunt and noticed that it had been smoked and had Synthetic drugs rolled up inside of it.
