Name-Dropping Cop Amanda Myers Arrested for Drunk Driving

From Officer Katie Finley's report:
"On Wednesday, February 5, 2020, at approximately 1901 hours, Patrolman Renken and I responded to the back parking lot of Number One Lounge located at 5555 Ridge Road for report of a motor vehicle accident. Dispatch advised that the caller stated the female driver was not being cooperative and seemed intoxicated.
Upon arrival I spoke with Amanda Myers and asked her what happened. She stated she was backing up out of a parking space when Stanley Mckee was pulling into the parking lot and that he struck her vehicle as she was backing up.
Ptl. Renken was speaking with Stanley and then came over to speak with Amanda. I then went and spoke with Stanley, who stated he had already backed out of the parking lot but came to a complete stop before entering onto Westlake Ave. due to yielding to oncoming traffic. He stated that Amanda backed out of a parking space and when continuing to back up she struck the front end of his vehicle with her rear end. Stanley stated he could hear someone outside yelling at her to stop her vehicle when she was backing up.
Stanley stated that Amanda exited her vehicle and told him she would just give him $50. Stanley mentioned to her that a new headlight would cost more and they could just exchange information and handle it that way.
When Amanda started to become uncooperative and telling him he was the one pulling into the parking lot and struck her vehicle he decided it was a good idea to call police. He stated he could tell she had been drinking Amanda was slurring her speech and had an odor of alcohol coming from her person."
Amanda Myers was arrested on charges of Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated, BAC Test Refusal w/ Prior, and Physical Control. Under Ohio law, a 'Physical Control' charge is similar to an OVI charge in that it deals with vehicles and intoxication, with one major difference: Physical Control does not require that the vehicle have ever been driven or even started.
Myers pled not guilty to all three charges on February 12th, also filing a petition to be declared indigent and have an attorney appointed to defend her. The court granted Myers' petition, declaring her indigent and - kind of hilariously - appointing Attorney Joseph O'Malley to represent her. O'Malley is the prosecutor Myers was referring to with her name-dropping, only he is no longer working in that capacity...
You see, O'Malley is best known for his 2013 "indefinite disbarment" after he was charged with nine violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct arising from his improper influencing of a judge and his August 2011 convictions in an Ohio federal court for misprision of a felony (with Dewitte-level excuses) and making a materially false statement in a matter within the jurisdiction of the federal government. Details at cutt.ly/disbarred
Although most people think of "indefinite disbarment" as, you know, indefinite... reality shows otherwise. A 2007 paper titled "Should Permanent Disbarment be Permanent?" published in The Georgetown Journal of Legal Ethics provides a good overview of the impermanence of permanent disbarment.
Its author found that "Five states mandate that all disbarments be treated as permanent. Eight states allow for disbarments to be permanent in some situations. In these states, when disbarment is not permanent, readmittance can either be applied for in seven years, five years, or at any time, depending on the jurisdiction. . . . The remaining 35 states and DC have no procedure for permanent disbarment."
O'Malley's 2013 disbarment generated a lot of press, but everyone on the planet seems to have missed the fact that he was reinstated in 2016. You heard it here first.
On 3/19/20 Myers case went to trial. Myers was found not guilty on the charges of OVI and 'BAC refusal w/ prior,' but was found guilty of reasonable control. It is not clear at this time what, if any, penalties she was subject to other than a $315 fee or fine. Clarifying records have been requested from the court and we inquired with Kelleys Island Police about whether this arrest impacted her job.

On Friday morning we received records indicating that on December 7, 2012 Amanda Myers was *arrested for shoplifting* from Walmart. The report states that an Asset Protection Associate observed Myers select Crest Whitestrips, conceal them under a baby car seat, and exit the store without paying. Myers was 22 years old and unemployed at the time. The Whitestrips were valued at $43.97. On Thursday morning I contacted Kelleys Island Chief of Police Shawn Craig inquiring about the status of Amanda Myers' employment. He has yet to respond. The records from Myers' shoplifting arrest are available now on Patreon, as are the records relating to her OVI arrest. A few pages with annotations are included in the post's image gallery. The post also presents messages we exchanged with Parma Police Department as part of our (unfortunately common) tug-of-war over access to records, many of which are still outstanding in relation to Ms. Myers' arrest. We will get them all. *Although I don't condone shoplifting from any store, if someone is going to steal, Walmart is a stupid target.

This is why I'm a huge proponent of body cams. They keep everyone honest, and protect good cops from false accusations. I retired before my department had them, but we had dash cams with remote microphones clipped to our shirts. I made sure that every interaction on traffic stops was done in sight of my dash camera with my microphone on. And when I transported a suspect I always turned it around to cover the back seat of my patrol car. I had two cases where false charges were lodged against me (both where the female suspect claimed misconduct during the ride to jail) and immediately disproved by that camera. I guess they didn't notice me turning the camera around before we took off for the lockup. About the only time I'd ever turn a body camera off would be when getting a tip from a confidential informant, because if that footage got out their lives could be at risk. The woman arrested in this video seems very entitled, and apparently doesn't think the law applies to her. I'm quite surprised that she was found not guilty on the Sobriety Test Refusal charge. Maybe dropping that was part of some sort of plea deal. This may have allowed her to keep her job, because a cop who can't drive usually can't continue to work. Go figure.

[@smithofsmiths1872]

Surely they would not have allowed her to keep her job? That would be insane.

[@rangerrecon]

"Why would you want to refuse?" - Uh, because as a police officer, she knows: 1) that she is drunk and 2) field sobriety/divided attention tests establish circumstantial proof of intoxication or impairment and are often considered during trial in most states 3) you have the right not to incriminate yourself and, especially if you're drunk, that's all these test will do. I can't condone anything else she did (allegedly), but at least she got that right.

It's almost always better to refuse, however in this case he was giving her the chance to let him *wink wink* judge her performance on the field sobriety and basically do her a solid by going easy on her when he does it. Thats why the kept checking in on her - something they never do for other citizens. Since it isn't pass/fail, he can just do whatever and leave it as a fender bender. Her refusal gives him no chance to do her a solid, he has to arrest her, and add all the additional charges.

@Cassandra Barrera She didn’t admit they were a trap. She said basically, she knows how they work. FST’s are not pass or fail. If the officer suspects you’ve been drinking and even if you do the FST’s with little trouble, you’ll be asked to take the breathalyzer. The breathalyzer they use in the field is not binding. It’s just a guide. If you blow a .02 and you did well in your FST’s, he’ll most likely cut you loose. But remember that DUI is not only for alcohol. So if you show signs of drug use, they can take you in and get a warrant for a blood draw, if you don’t agree to one. But just because they arrest you for DUI, doesn’t mean you’re charged. It just means that they suspect it. You’ll go,to the station and be given a chance to take the official tests.

If you "pass" FSTs you didn't pass, the officer just couldn't get enough material for an arrest.
