KALAMAZOO, MI -- While Kalamazoo officers were attempting to handcuff Calhoun County Sheriff's Deputy Noemi Garza on suspicion of drunken driving that led to a crash, she tried to pull away, shouting expletives at the officers.

She admitted to drinking shots of Fireball whiskey but refused to complete sobriety tests or take a breath test, according to the Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety incident report, obtained by the Kalamazoo Gazette through the Freedom of Information Act. Authorities later conducted a blood draw, which revealed Garza had a 0.17 blood alcohol content level, more than double the legal limit of 0.08 percent for driving in Michigan.

Garza, 32, has been charged with with one count each of attempted resisting and obstructing police, operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, failure to stop at the scene of a collision and possession of a firearm while under the influence. She is scheduled to be arraigned Friday in Kalamazoo County District Court.

A 0.17 blood alcohol level is the threshold for a high blood alcohol content enhanced penalty or "super drunk" penalty. But Kalamazoo County Prosecutor Jeff Getting said he didn't issue the super drunk charge because Garza had a plasma test, which usually shows a higher alcohol level than a whole blood test.

KDPS officers were dispatched to the crash just after midnight June 13. At the scene, a driver told officers he was driving south on Douglas Avenue near Kalamazoo Avenue when he was struck by another vehicle that failed to negotiate the curve from Kalamazoo Avenue onto Douglas, according to the police report.

The driver told police that after the crash, the vehicle continued north on Douglas, then parked on the side of the road near Douglas and Forbes Street. The man told police that a woman exited the vehicle and went in between some houses before coming back to the vehicle, according to the report.

When police approached Garza at her car, she ran onto the porch of a house on Forbes. When officers approached her, she said she had been involved in an accident, the report said.

Garza told police she was driving from a house party in Richland where she had a "couple of shots" of Fireball whiskey. Police asked her if it affected her ability to drive.

"A little bit but not too much," Garza said, according to the police report. But police wrote in the report that Garza smelled of alcohol, had trouble keeping her balance, had bloodshot eyes and spoke with a slur.

She later told police that she was "going to be in trouble," the report said.

Garza resisted arrest and told officers, "Don't touch me," the report said. She also initially refused to get in the police cruiser, according to the report.

While riding to the police station, Garza tried to slip the handcuffs off her wrists and kicked the door of the cruiser, while calling the officer offensive names, the report said.

After being taken to a holding cell, she refused a breath test and pretended to be asleep on the bench, the report said.

She later apologized to an officer for calling her names and said she was "intoxicated," the report said.

Officers found a .40 caliber Glock in Garza's purse. The handgun was registered to Garza.

Garza's attorney, Tracie Tomak, declined to comment for this report.
