The reporting party said the vehicle smelled like alcohol. The officers arrived and saw a male in the driver’s seat who was fumbling around with something in his lap. The officers knocked at the window, and the subject seemed surprised to see the officers. The officers noticed the subject’s eyes were glassy, and he appeared disoriented. They smelled a toxic odor coming from the vehicle and saw three bottles of what appeared to be compressed air bottles in the passenger side and back seat. The officers asked the subject what he was doing, and he asked him to step out of the vehicle.
