State v. Fincher, ___ N.C. App. ___, 814 S.E.2d 606 (Apr. 17, 2018)

The trial court did not err by denying the defendant’s motion to dismiss a DWI charge, which alleged that the defendant was under the influence of alprazolam. The evidence was sufficient where it showed: the defendant drove her vehicle in the public drive-through area of a restaurant where she collided with another vehicle; responding officers noted that her eyes were red and glassy and her speech was slurred; the defendant admitted to officers at the scene that she had consumed alprazolam, a Schedule IV controlled substance, that morning; an officer testified that the defendant presented six of six clues indicating impairment after administering the HGN test; and another officer testified that after performing his 12-step DRE evaluation on the defendant, he determined that she was impaired by a central nervous system depressant.
