A traffic stop was conducted as the vehicle exited onto Kennedy Ave., however the vehicle continued to travel southbound on Kennedy at 20 mph for approximately a mile as Trooper Carlson followed with his emergency lights and siren activated. The vehicle finally stopped after pulling into a local business. As Trooper Carlson spoke to the driver several indicators of possible impairment were brought to his attention. Trooper Carlson asked the driver to step out of the vehicle and the driver refused.
