On November 19, 2023, Kade W. Ross, 25, of Fort Bliss, was driving on Country Club Road when a Texas State Trooper, observed him operating a vehicle with expired registration. The trooper also observed his license plate was improperly displayed. During the traffic stop, a DPS Special Agent asked Mr. Ross to exit the vehicle, during his conversation with Mr. Ross, he noticed signs of impairment. The DPS Special Agent informed the primary trooper of his observations. Mr. Ross was asked to perform a series of Standardized Field Sobriety Tests’ (SFSTs) to which he failed.
