Ellie Masukevich is arrested one night and the whole incident is caught on police body cam.
Chapter 1: Who is Ellie and what trouble is she in?
So this girl, her name's Ellie, and she's 18, and Ellie is about to be in big trouble. Because one day, she's hanging out with her boyfriend, and they're chilling, watching movies, playing video games, or whatever, and they're also allegedly drinking and smoking a little Zaza.
But then boyfriend leaves for work and Ellie, even though she's a bit tipsy, she decides it's the perfect time to go to Target and I guess do some Christmas shopping. So she grabs a bottle of vodka and a little Zaza and she gets into her SUV and she heads over to Target.
Chapter 2: What happened when Ellie went to Target?
And as she gets there, she's listening to music, having a good time, and she swerves into the parking lot and skirt, she skids into a parking spot. And then she gets out and she stumbles into Target. Here's the thing, though. When she pulled into the parking lot, people saw her swerving around and acting a bit drunk. So a couple of them contacted police and reported her.
Then about an hour later, police show up to Target. And there they find Ellie in the parking lot sitting in her car.
Chapter 3: How did the police respond to Ellie's behavior?
I'm sorry, you're located.
Hi, miss. I'm Officer Costner with Crystal Lake Police Department. We're just talking to you because we got a couple of complaints that you might have been swerving on the road.
And so she gets out and they're like, we heard you were swerving. And she's like, oh, I was just messing with my music. But the officers are thinking, eh, that's bullshit. And they ask for her ID. So she goes back into the car to get her ID. And one officer follows her to the front seat. And she shines her flashlight on what Ellie's doing.
And that officer spots a bottle of vodka halfway under the front seat. But she doesn't say anything yet. Instead, she brings Ellie back and they question her a bit and Ellie gives them normal answers like, oh, I'm just Christmas shopping. But then the officer calls her out.
Chapter 4: What evidence did the officers find in Ellie's car?
You have a little bit of a problem. OK, so I'm going to give you an opportunity to be honest with me. OK, because when you opened your door, I saw the bottle of vodka.
And so Ellie is in trouble. And the officer's like, stand over there while we search your vehicle. And Ellie's thinking, oh, if they search my car, then they'll find the vodka and maybe some of that Zaza and I'm going to be . So what does she do? She blurts out the first thing that comes to mind.
You don't have the warrant to do that. Actually, I have probable cause because I observed alcohol.
But see, Ellie's not going to give up. She really, really doesn't want them searching her car. So she starts to get a little aggressive.
Unfortunately. No, I have a right to not let you search my car. We're not doing this.
I have a right to not let you search my car.
Oh, but Ellie does not stop. Even when one of the other officers is like, we can see the Zaza right through the window. Doesn't matter. Ellie's convinced she's right and she is ready to die on this hill. And to the officer's credit, they're actually really patient with her.
These are your choices. You can go stand by that squad car with these two gentlemen, okay? That's your first choice. If you do not want to do that, your second choice is I'm going to put you in handcuffs, okay? You can't search my car without a warrant.

Chapter 5: What choices did the officers give Ellie?
And so, boom, they handcuff her. And Ellie, she doesn't like this at all.
Please don't handcuff me. I'll go with them to the car. I'll go with them to the car right now. Ellie, Ellie, Ellie. Please don't handcuff me. Ellie.
Chapter 6: How did Ellie react to being handcuffed?
We already spoke about this.
We gave you the opportunity.
Don't handcuff me. I'll go to the car with them right now. I'll go to the car with them right now. Please don't handcuff me. Ellie, Ellie. We're not going to do this. Ellie, stop. I can't be handcuffed. Please, I'm trying to walk. Ellie, stop. I can't be handcuffed. Stop. I can't be handcuffed. Stop it. I can't be handcuffed. Take me out of the handcuffs!
So then they get her into the back of the police car, and here she's really starting to lose control.
Chapter 7: What was Ellie's emotional state during the arrest?
Take a deep breath. Listen to me. Can you please take the handcuffs off? You have to listen to me. Allie, Allie, listen to me.
Stop talking. Take a deep breath right now.
Stop talking.
Take a deep breath.
And it takes a bit of work, but yeah, it seems like she's finally about to calm down. But then she starts crying, and like, you almost feel sorry for her.
Ellie, take a deep breath for me. Take one, right?
And then when that doesn't work, she starts trying to negotiate.
I'll sit here if you take off the handcuffs. If not, I'll run out. He can buckle me up if you take off the handcuffs, please. He can't buckle me up.
But like, yeah, here you can see her trying to use her leg to try and keep them from buckling her in. And so, yeah, as you can see, she really doesn't calm down. Like she gets even more out of control pretty quickly. And during all this, I guess her vape falls out of her pocket and the officer needs to confiscate it.
