“Once stopped, there was a mild odor of alcohol in the Tahoe, the passengers denied drinking, and Richardson was nervous. Trooper Fulford told Richardson he would write him a warning for his failure to signal before changing lanes. When he returned from his squad car with a warning notice in hand, Trooper Fulford said he noted an ‘overwhelming’ odor of breath mints. ‘Did you just take a breath mint?’ Trooper Fulford asked. When Richardson said yes, he was ordered out of the Tahoe. From there, he was arrested and convicted of DUI.”
