When the police approached Requena, they noticed he reeked of alcohol and showed signs of impairment. Officers tried conducting sobriety tests via language line, but they were unsuccessful. When asked, Requena could not provide them with a driver’s license and gave them his ID card. Requena eventually performed poorly on sobriety tests and was detained for the incident. Later, prior to police stopping Requena, an off-duty police officer stated that Requena drove towards him head-on, presenting disregard for the life and property of others. Requena was taken into custody for reckless driving, no driver’s license, and driving under the influence- 2nd offense.
