Shocking body camera images shows a glamorous trooper of the state of Washington who refuses to take an austerity test after she reportedly beat and killed a motorcyclist while she was under the influence of alcohol.
Sarah Clasen, 35, a public information officer for the Washington State Patrol, was arrested on March 1 for the deadly crash that the 20-year-old Jhoser Sanchez killed.
Richland police officers responded to the scene of Staatsroute 240 near Horn Rapids, where an off-Duty Clasen reportedly affected the motorcyclist, NBC now reported.
Bodycamer statues showed that Clasen slid through her words while she described what happened to the police.
“I saw what I thought was a car with one headlight. That is where the reflective sign is, “she said.
'And so I delayed in the bend strip and saw him there and I had something like that, I got enough time. I turn around and as soon as I turned around, I just felt the tree. '
The officer then asked Clasen if she would do a field of austerity test or a provisional breath test and she refused.
“I'm just going to lead you through a few voluntary fields, if you want,” said the officer.
“Yes, I don't think I want to do anything,” Clasen said.

He asked her again, but she doubled and said, “I don't want to do tests based on the circumstances.”
Clasen agreed to fill in a written statement sheet that was littered with mistakes and led the police to believe that she might have been intoxicated.
“She has a few wrong words here. She wrote, she drew. She estimated the distance between the man on the motorcycle and her at 100 feet, which is that much more than that is 500 feet, “the officer said.
“But she said she was almost her turn when she was clearly at the start of her turn. Her eyes are a bit glassy. A bit, but that can be. But we had to be careful.
'I don't have great sense of smell, but I think I smoke a little smell of alcohol, I know I have to say. And then I said to her, I have something like: “Hey, we just want to exclude a limitation”. And by not doing it, I am so much, I am not going to ask you again, but I am so of it, we cannot exclude it. '
Although she refused to take tests, officers eventually received an order from a judge and transported her to a local hospital to have her blood signed to determine her level of disorders, Komo reported.
The results are expected in the coming months and she was booked in the prison of Benton County on accusation of the murder of vehicles.
Clasen was released on her own recognition on Monday evening after Benton County of Justice Eric Eisinger had withdrawn his office from the case, because Clasen was now working as WSP trooper, Apple Valley News reported now.

The crash comes just over a year after Clasen had urged the public to be more attentive when they drive in the midst of an increase in accidents.
But as part of her release, Clasen is obliged to wear a bracelet of the blood alcohol monitor and to install an inflammatory locking device on her car.
She was also placed with the Washington State Patrol with administrative leave after 14 years.
The public prosecutor of Spokane County, Larry Haskell, who was selected as the special public prosecutor, said the local news exit that his office is still investigating the case and that they have not yet filed charges.
Judge Diana Ruff from Benton County Superior Court determined the Staring date of Clasen before March 12, but it appeared on Tuesday that the court date was canceled in her case.
The crash comes just over a year after Clasen had urged the public to be more attentive when they drive in the midst of an increase in collisions.
She wrote the increase in crashes in an interview with NBC at the moment as 'speed, too closely, distracted and of course is affected.'
The Trooper said the bottom line is to just pay attention.
“I know it is easy to be distracted by mobile phones, radios or residents in your vehicle,” she said at the time.
Then she insisted on the public to stay alert and that the most important thing is to do. Keep you and the people around you safe. '
