[I] made contact with the driver, Christopher Harold Manly, 48, Pensacola, Florida, and immediately detected a moderate odor of alcohol coming from the vehicle. [I] advised Mr. Manly of the stop and asked him for his license. Mr. Manly attempted to hand me his debit card but returned it to his wallet and handed me his license.” During field sobriety tests, Manly showed several signs of impairment and a BAC of 0.102.
