No. They said there were no indications at the time, but they also said he was lying in the street, they said he was mumbling but apparently it was not coherent, they said he did not say a word to the police. It doesnt sound as though they got to close at the time. This was private property. It sounds as though they have a private security force and the PD was just standing by at request.
Sorry because I am a cop I have a different view of the facts. I also know that in my state he would be required to provide more than what you have stated. Every officer I know would have conducted an invstigation at the time. This did not occur. I would have interviewed him and performed FSTS at the scene. I would have also had him submit to a breath test. If he refused at the scene he would have immediately lost his license for a year. As it appears he was mumbling and incoherent blood would have been drawn at the hospital. Most states have exactly the same laws as to driving and . Your statment about curious people is off base. The reason he has not subject to a police blood draw and investigation at the scene is because this occurred on private property. If this occurred on the street he would have been subject the the same standard YOU OR I would be subject to. My understanding is that his living in a private gated community has created a unique situation. Had this incident occurred outside the gated community this would have been investigated at the time.
