Drunk Woman Arrested for SECOND OVI on her 25th Birthday

Around 11:34 PM on December 17, 2024, Officer James Koretsky with the Solon Police Department observed a 2016 Ford Escape being driven on the wrong side of the road in the vicinity of S.O.M. Center Road and Solon Road. He activated his emergency lights and initiated a traffic stop on Solon Road. After the driver pulled over, Officer Koretsky exited his patrol car and made contact with the driver of the Ford Escape, who was identified as 25-year-old Tionna Cisco.

As he was speaking with Tionna, Officer Koretsky observed indicators of impairment. She told the officer that she had gone bowling earlier that evening in celebration of her 25th birthday. She also admitted to consuming alcohol before operating a motor vehicle. In order to gauge whether or not she was impaired, Officer Koretsky had Tionna perform the finger dexterity test, count backwards, and recite part of the alphabet. Tionnn was not able to perform any of these exercises satisfactorily.

Officer Christopher Schiavoni later arrived on scene to assist and asked Tionna to exit the vehicle and perform additional field sobriety exercises. He started with the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test. During the HGN test, Officer Schiavioni observed the lack of smooth pursuit, distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation, and the onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees. He also observed vertical nystagmus in both eyes. The second exercise was the Walk and Turn test, but she was unable to perform the test. During the Walk and Turn test, Tionna did not touch heel-to-toe on each step, turned improperly, and did not complete test when attempting to return to her starting position. The final exercise was the One Leg Stand test, and Tionna failed to raise her foot in the proper fashion while placing her foot down before the test was complete.

Based on her erratic driving, her admission to consuming alcohol, and her inability to adequately perform the field sobriety exercises, Tionna was placed under arrest for Operating a Vehicle Impaired (OVI). After she was placed under arrest, Tionna admitted that she made a mistake. Officer Schiavoni then placed Tionna inside the patrol car and transported her to the Solon Police Department for further processing.

At the station, the BMV 2255 form was read to her, and she agreed to submit breath samples. Her breathalyzer results indicated a BAC level of 0.188%, which was more than double the legal limit of 0.08%. She also stated that she was coming from Rollhouse Bowling Alley, and admitted to consuming vodka there before driving. After Tionna was processed, she was issued citations for OVI (4511.19(A)(1)(a) , OVI (4511.19(A)(1)(h)), driving the wrong way (432.29), and improper left turn (432.10(a)(2)).

A search of Tionna’s driving history indicated that she has a prior OVI arrest from 2022.
