The trooper made his way over to Fair who was sitting on the ground nearby and proceeded to ask her for her driver’s license. Fair, asking the trooper to help her stand up, appeared to be unsteady on her feet and seemed to have trouble with her speech, according to the warrant. He also noted she had bloodshot eyes and the odor of alcohol emanating from her person. The trooper asked if she would consent to perform a Standard Field Sobriety Test (SFST) which she agreed to do. However, Fair allegedly refused to follow directions during the test, at which point the trooper placed her under arrest and asked her to consent to a blood draw, which she agreed to.

Fair was brought to the Lubbock County Detention Center but had still not signed the paperwork to perform the blood draw, despite continuing to agree to it. According to the warrant, Fair was uncooperative during the draw and began to throw her jewelry around before being booked.

Stephanie Fair is charged with intoxicated manslaughter and is being held at the Lubbock County Detention Center on an $85,000 bond.
