Keller says he smelled alcohol on Eagle’s breath and his eyes were bloodshot, but the state representative denied drinking. He says that when he asked Eagle to walk back to his patrol car, he stumbled and fell against his SUV. Keller says that when he asked Eagle about the alcohol smell, the legislator again denied drinking and said it came from friends who were in the car earlier.

Keller says Eagle refused to take a field sobriety test and said he was “good to get home.” Keller arrested Eagle, who later refused to take a breath test. Keller was released after being charged with driving under the influence.

So it is fair to say that Eagle may have been drinking at least at 6:30pm on Sunday, prior to being arrested early Monday morning.

What’s that old saying about a picture speaking a thousand words?
