Lower South Officer William Schmid spoke to Ruhe, who appeared "highly under the influence of a controlled substance" and Schmid detected a strong odor of marijuana. Ruhe had glassy red eyes, his speech was "severely slurred," and had no idea where he was. Ruhe failed all field sobriety tests. During the field sobriety tests, a plastic container appearing to contain marijuana fell from Ruhe's pants.  Ruhe was arrested for driving under the influence of a controlled substance and he consented to a blood draw at St. Mary's Hospital.
