Description
On March 25, 2006, a concerned citizen called 911 to report Harkinss erratic driving. Officer Kenneth Klein responded, administered several field sobriety tests to Harkins, and ultimately arrested her for DWI. On the night of her arrest, two chemical substances--carisoprodol, the generic name for the prescription drug Soma, and meprobamate, a metabolized byproduct of carisoprodol--were found in her blood. The fact issue at trial was whether Harkins was intoxicated by Soma or whether she was impaired by physical ailments including chronic pain, nerve damage, and drowsiness caused by sleep apnea.
