… Before DWI Arrest
Published
Johnny Manziel‘s mom, Michelle Manziel, refused to take a Breathalyzer and failed a field sobriety test just before she was arrested for DWI, according to law enforcement sources who spoke to TMZ Sports.
Michelle’s encounter with the police occurred in Kerrville, Texas, around 10 PM on March 1, after officers noticed she was driving with a broken tail light.
During the traffic stop, Michelle displayed signs of intoxication such as bloodshot, glassy eyes, and unsteady balance. Police also noted a strong odor of alcohol on her breath.
Michelle refused to take an intoxilyzer test and showed six clues of inebriation during the horizontal gaze nystagmus check administered by authorities.
The 55-year-old was arrested on a DWI charge and later released on $7,500 bail.
Michelle’s attorney declined to comment on the matter when reached for a statement.
