The caller advised a male drove into the job site at that location and struck both poles and the median. The caller described the vehicle as a black Ford F-150 with flat tires. After hitting the objects, the vehicle stopped in the front of the location, and the caller made contact with the driver. The caller was able to obtain the drivers information and observed concerning behaviors, including “jittery demeanor” and being “not all the way there”. When officers arrived, a field sobriety test was administered and the decision was made to arrest Louden, the driver, for DWI. Officers located evidence on scene to further support a DWI arrest. While detained in the arresting officer’s patrol vehicle, Louden became unresponsive, and paramedics were called to the scene. Paramedics transported Louden to the hospital for medical treatment and was later pronounced deceased eight days later. Custodial Death Report :: Page 6 of 6
