Field sobriety tests were conducted, but according to the sheriff&#8217;s office, the man failed them and was then charged with a DUI. Bodycam footage showed the man blaming &#8220;Leg Day&#8221; for his abysmal Walk and Turn test performance and claiming that his thighs were &#8220;not that strong.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">According to a post shared by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share\/v\/1BaRZGcdsr\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Hillsborough County Sheriff&#039;s Office;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Hillsborough County Sheriff&#039;&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Hillsborough County Sheriff&#8217;s Office<\/a> (HCSO), the incident occurred on Sunday, July 5. At around 3:50 a.m., deputies observed a vehicle going 65 mph in a 45 mph zone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The law enforcement agents conducted a traffic stop, and thankfully, the driver complied and pulled over at a gas station. The driver was then identified as 38-year-old Carlos Gonzalez.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">During the traffic stop, officers conducted field sobriety tests on Gonzalez. Soon, they learned that the man was not supposed to be driving at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Non-Strong Thighs<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As shown in the bodycam footage attached above, a smiling Gonzalez can be seen interacting with the HCSO deputies at the scene. There, the deputy explained the Walk and Turn test to him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;You&#8217;re gonna stay just like that until I&#8217;m done explaining the exercise. It will not take long,&#8221; the deputy said. Meanwhile, Gonzalez seemed as if he was struggling to remain on his two feet, apparently due to some sort of muscular fatigue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Then, Gonzalez is shown telling the deputy, &#8220;I&#8217;ll tell you right now: my thighs are not that strong.&#8221; The Walk and Turn test only requires individuals to take 9 heel-to-toe steps down a line, turn, and then take another 9 heel-to-toe steps back.<\/p>\n<p>Leg Day To Blame<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Even though Gonzalez kept smiling and laughing, the deputy didn&#8217;t match his energy. He explained to him that 80-year-olds are able to do the test just fine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I still, like&#8230; All right, let&#8217;s try,&#8221; the man said. &#8220;I worked Leg Day yesterday.&#8221; The deputy responded, &#8220;So did I,&#8221; and a defeated Gonzalez said, &#8220;All right.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The 38-year-old man then attempted to carry out the test. Even though he claimed he didn&#8217;t have leg strength, he managed to remain on one foot with no issues.<\/p>\n<p>Arrested and Charged<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">That, of course, was not part of the exercise. The heel-to-toe stepping, meanwhile, was a complete disaster, with the man struggling to place his feet on the line and in front of each other.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Gonzalez was immediately placed under arrest. A confused Gonzalez asked why he was being arrested, adding, &#8220;I don&#8217;t have any DUI.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He does now, as Gonzalez was charged with driving under the influence. The HCSO said, &#8220;If you&#8217;re celebrating, make a plan before you drink. It&#8217;s not worth it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If you want more stories like this, follow <a href=\"https:\/\/guessingheadlights.com\/6d27\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Guessing Headlights on Yahoo;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Guessing Headlights on Yahoo&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Guessing Headlights on Yahoo<\/a> so you don\u2019t miss what\u2019s coming next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Deputies in Hillsborough County, Florida, pulled over a man for speeding.
