Southeastern Arizona DUI Task Force details a successThe Southeastern Arizona DUI Task Force DUI and party detail was a success, according to Thatcher, Arizona Police Chief Mike McEuen.
Friday night they arrested three people for DUI, cited at least seven people for underage drinking, made one felony drug arrest and six misdemeanor arrests. They also issued nine traffic citations and several warnings for speeding.
The officers met at the Thatcher, Arizona Police Department at 8:30 p.m. for a meal of green chili burros brought in by McEuen.
After everyone had eaten, they discussed the plans for the night. There were about 15 officers in all, including uniformed officers from the Arizona Department of Public Safety and the Safford, Arizona; Thatcher, Arizona and the Eastern Arizona College police departments as well as several plain-clothes officers.
Chief McEuen made sure everyone had the equipment needed, including portable radios for the plain-clothes officers and a Portable Breath Testing (PBT) unit in some of the cars.
McEuen told the officers that they are expecting a couple of big parties with it being the last Friday of the semester for Eastern Arizona College.
There is also a dance, he told them, but it is a formal and he is not expecting any alcohol-related incidents. "When they come dressed up like that, it really minimizes the problems," McEuen explained.
With all the Arizona officers on the same page they hit the streets.
Thatcher, Arizona patrolman Everett Cauthen heads out to his 2-year-old Ford Crown Victoria around 9 p.m. Unlike the other officers, he is wearing short sleeves and passes on a jacket.
It is a little chilly; the temperature is around 50 degrees.
"This is nice out," Cauthen, who was born and raised in the Valley, says. "This is great weather. As long as I can keep my feet warm I'm fine."
He gets into his Crown Victoria loaded down with some of the latest gadgets and gizmos today's Arizonapolice officer needs.
There is a radar mounted on the dash that is tapped into the car's speed-monitoring system. It can gauge the speed of approaching traffic before speeders even know there is a police car on the road.
There is a camera mounted in the front of the vehicle with a display screen inside the car. Patrolman Cauthen wears a microphone that transmits the conversations he has with motorists back to his car, and the whole interaction is recorded.
He also has an on-board computer, which normally relays dispatch information to him.
But Friday night he is working a DUI/ party detail as part of a multi-agency task force aiming to get drunk drivers off the road and catching underage drinkers throwing parties.
Cauthen heads west on Hwy. 70 towards Pima. He has 32 DUI arrests on the year and is hoping to hit 40 before the year ends. It is early in the night, usually a slow period for alcohol-related offenses, but Cauthen remains hopeful he can get another arrest tonight.
A red Chevy S-10 heading east on Hwy. 70 catches his attention. His on-board radar indicates the vehicle is traveling at 70 mph. Cauthen makes sure traffic is clear and does a U-turn into the east-bound lane.
He speeds up and rapidly closes the distance between himself and the offending truck. He waits until he is close to the vehicle before turning on his roof-mounted lights.
The vehicle immediately pulls to the side of the road. The man has not been drinking and said he did not know the speed limit was only 55 mph.
He calls in the driver's information and the vehicle's license plate number. Every-thing checks out and the driver is sent on his way with only a warning.
It is his lucky day. He could have been issued a citation for speeding, but Cauthen is not looking for speeders tonight.
He drives east, back into Thatcher, Arizona, and a call comes over the radio. Parties have been reporting a dark blue truck shooting passersby with a paintball gun, the dispatcher says, adding "possibly alcohol involved."
Cauthen's ears perk up. He's hearing everything coming over the radio, but this one catches his attention.
"They're playin' our song," he says as he heads towards the origin of the complaint -- Safford.
Someone comes across the radio reporting a dark blue Chevy Avalanche in the Dairy Queen parking lot. Before Cauthen can get there another call reports that the vehicle at Dairy Queen was not involved.
Cauthen drives past just a few minutes later and sees the truck still there. He turns south onto Eighth Avenue and drives in front of the Graham County Court House. He turns onto Main Street and slowly rolls down the street looking for anything out of the ordinary.
He has no set route that he is traveling. He is just out on the street looking for something to happen. He turns north onto 191 and then turns back onto Hwy. 70 heading west.
As he passes the Circle K on Hwy. 70 in Safford he sees a DPS car with its cherries flashing.
"Looks like the DPS boys already have one," he says as he navigates his cruiser into the parking lot and pulls up next to the DPS vehicle.
He reaches behind his seat and pulls out a plastic box labeled "Alco Pro." He grabs the PBT and a sealed plastic tube from inside and walks toward the DPS officer.
The DPS officer is talking to a woman who has been drinking and Cauthen administers the breath test. The portable unit confirms that she has been drinking, but her blood-alcohol is not over the limit, .08 in the state of Arizona.
Her passenger has a warrant from Cochise County, but it is non-extraditable. It is 9:30 p.m., and so far for Officer Cauthen, the night has been a bust.
As he is driving back towards Thatcher, Arizona one of the plain-clothes officers calls him over the radio asking him to meet him behind the Cypress Apartments (now College Park Apartments) on College Avenue.
One of the plain-clothes officers spotted something unusual in the parking lot behind the apartment complex. The working procedure for these situations is for plain-clothes officers to identify themselves as police officers and detain the individual in question until a marked unit can arrive.
At 9:45 p.m., Cauthen pulls in behind the complex and sees the plain-clothes officers. He gets out and assesses the situation. He ends up writing a citation for possession of drug paraphernalia, but the individual possessing alcohol is 27 and is told he can leave.
Instead, he sticks around talking to the officers. They ask him if they can check out his apartment and he consents to one officer taking a look inside.
At 10:10 p.m., as Cauthen is getting ready to leave the apartment buildings, he is waved down. There is a 17-year-old girl who was in the apartment. She has been drinking and the officers have to hold her until her parents can pick her up.
"Her parents aren't going to be happy," Cauthen says. "But we got to call them by law. It would be different is she was 18, but we've got to do it."
While waiting for the young girl's mother to arrive, Chief McEuen shows up to take custody of her, freeing his officers to continue the night's mission.
Cauthen heads back out onto the streets looking for DUI arrest number 33. He doesn't have much time to drive around before another call comes over the radio.
The plain-clothes officers, walking around the College Park apartment complex, stumble upon some underage kids drinking outside their apartment. They blend in so well the kids do not know they are in trouble.
As per the discussion during the briefing, however, the plain-clothes officers are waiting for back-up. They've had some instances in the past with kids running from them and tonight they are not going to let that happen.
The plan is to get as many officers on-hand before they make contact. The plain-clothes officers keep walking around like nothing is happening. They don't want to spook the kids.
Cauthen pulls to the front of the complex, parks his patrol car and heads towards the unit to which the other officers called him. Sgt. Thomas arrives right behind him and heads to the unit also.
"Burnt marijuana," all the officers say as they walk into the apartment.
They have six people sitting on the floor and three Heineken bottles sitting outside the front door. There are seven people inside, but none of them are 21-years-old.
They are all asked to blow into the PBT. Those who register anything above .000 are issued citations for underage consumption.
A horizontal gaze nystagmus (gaze) test is also administered wherein the officer asks an individual suspected of being impaired to track the tip of a finger of the end of a pen.
Impaired people lose the ability to rapidly track the pen, and their eye will oscillate as the attempt to follow it throughout their field of vision. Officers can determine is a person is impaired based on the involuntary oscillation of the eye.
Several kids are issued citations on the scene. The individual in possession of the marijuana, found in two mason jars in his bedroom, will be referred to the County Attorney.
It is possible he will be charged with possession with intent to distribute.
It is now 11:10 p.m. and Cauthen is back on the road looking for a DUI arrest. His personal best for one night is three, but so far he has not found one.
He says most drunk drivers know to stay out of Thatcher, Arizona as the city has developed a reputation for DUI arrests. He estimates they will get to 100 such arrests before the year ends.
"Some officers like to work burglaries," he says. "We just happen to like DUIs. We love the hunt and the chase and we love getting impaired drivers off the road."
It has been two hours and he still has not seen any drunk drivers. But he plans to stay on until around midnight and it is only 11 p.m right now.
As the night wears on, the chances of encountering a drunk driver increase.
Cauthen explains that he looks for things like wide turns and equipment problems when looking for drunk drivers.
A white Nissan truck pulls out of the Safeway parking lot onto Hwy. 70 heading west with the headlights off. As the truck passes Cauthen's car, the driver turns them on, but is too late.
Cauthen makes a U-turn and chases the vehicle down in the Wal-Mart parking lot. The woman driving the truck said she simply forgot to turn them on when she got into her car. She does not smell of alcohol or look impaired and Cauthen sends her on her way.
He is called to the Thatcher, Arizona Police Department around 11:31 p.m. for a blood draw.
Cauthen is a certified phlebotomist, allowing officers to bypass the hospital and take blood to test for alcohol content at the station.
In the station a man is being questioned. He smells strongly of alcohol.
He is asked a battery of questions designed to determine his state of mind. He is asked how much he has had to drink, when the last time he ate was, what time and day he thinks it is, and if he is taking prescription medication.
Cauthen then asks the man if he has communicative infectious diseases. He fills out some paperwork before wiping his hands down with sanitizing solution and donning latex gloves.
"You may feel a little prick," he says as he taps into a vein.
The sample is collected and placed in a box, which is sealed and sent to a laboratory for testing.
The man is given a ride home by one of the officers and Cauthen heads back out onto to streets.
