When the deputy stopped with his flashing lights, the suspect identified as Angela Trimble got into the driver’s seat and attempted to leave the scene. The Deputy noted in his report that her vehicle almost hit the Pickaway Cruiser. Trimble was ordered out of the vehicle at that time but did not listen to commands, the deputy said that he noticed that the suspect’s eyes were bloodshot, glassy and she had slurred speech. When officers told her to keep her hands on the vehicle she turned to them and said, “Do you know who I am?” “I am Mark Trimble’s wife!”
