Marshall woke up when officers started speaking to her and asked her to get out of her vehicle.
Officers said she seemed extremely intoxicated, kept stumbling and smelled of alcohol. She also had a difficult time listening to officers commands.
How so? Well, when a DWI officer gave her instructions on how to complete the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFSTs), Marshall responded by doing cartwheels in front of officers.
The video above shows Marshall performing cartwheels at least two times, falling to the ground at least once, and giggling throughout the whole encounter.
Her actions clearly frustrate the officer.
“This is serious. This isn’t a joke. This isn’t haha,” he says on the video. “I don’t know why you’re doing somersaults or cartwheels or whatever they are?”
“Yeah, me neither,” Marshall says while on the ground.
After Marshall struck an officer during a cartwheel, the officers’ patience ran out and she was arrested, according to the release.
The officers asked her to open her mouth and show she was not chewing gum, food or candy ― items that might affect the accuracy of the breath test.

Marshall was charged with battery, aggravated DWI and for an expired license plate.
She was released from the Metropolitian Detention Center the next day.
