2018In Moorehead , the defendant "had already failed three field sobriety tests, a preliminary breath test, arguably made an incriminating statement, ... displayed many symptoms of drunkenness" and "[t]he deputy himself testified that he considered Moorehead 'technically' under arrest after he failed the field sobriety tests." 699 N.W.2d at 671 .
