Abdulazeez is arrested on a first-time DUI charge in Hamilton County. According to the police report, Abdulazeez is pulled over after he fails to maintain the lane and is driving under the speed limit. The officer notes he was acting lethargic and slurring his speech. Officers smell marijuana. He had droopy eyelids and a white powdery residue under his nose. Abdulazeez tells officers that he had been around friends who were drinking and using marijuana and tells police he had crushed caffeine pills and snorted them. He shows signs of impairment during a field sobriety test, but refuses a blood test and officers obtain a warrant to draw blood. He is scheduled to appear back in court at the end of the month.
