Bergstrom advised them that she is a “major alcoholic,” that she starts drinking early in the morning, and has drinking-related blackouts. Due to her neck brace, officers only prompted her with one sobriety test, in which she showed signs of impairment. After being informed of implied consent, she agreed to provide a blood sample and was issued a state citation for the occurrence. Bergstrom was booked on the citation of driving under the influence on June 24th.
