Description
Police officer Jeffery Alan Rose and his partner were taking a break on the parking lot of an Addison, Texas, convenience store around 2:00 a.m., June 20, 2002, when an unidentified man approached them. The man reported that he saw a woman asleep at the wheel of a gold Mercedes-Benz automobile stopped at a nearby traffic light—and the light was green. The man then noticed the same vehicle creeping past their location at ten miles per hour in a thirty-five-mile-per-hour zone and pointed it out. The officers followed the vehicle, noticing no traffic violations, and eventually stopped it, identified the driver as Annette Joy Bilyeu, determined she was intoxicated, *fn1 and arrested her. Bilyeu appeals from her jury conviction for driving while intoxicated (DWI),*fn2 challenging (1) the legality of the stop and, thus, the evidence obtained from that stop, and (2) the trial court's refusal to charge the jury regarding the legality of the search under Article 38.23 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. We affirm.
