He then made contact with the driver of the Mercedes, and she was identified as Christine.  
Christine was asked to exit the vehicle multiple times, but she had to physically removed from the vehicle. After exiting the vehicle, she insisted on speaking with her husband and refused to answer questions. When the Trooper asked her if she had been drinking, Christine denied consuming alcohol.
