He had advised that in the past she had left from the home impaired.

The deputies then went back inside the home to speak with the female subject and to try to figure out a way of peacefully separating the parties for the evening. A second highly intoxicated female subject at the home became very belligerent and interfered with the deputies while they dealt with the other two subjects. 

During the investigation the officers realized there was no other option other than placing the subjects on 12-hour holds due to the level of impairment.

The deputies first placed Suggs into handcuffs and began to take her out to the patrol vehicle to be transported back to the Sheriff’s Office when the all of a sudden the second highly intoxicated female later identified as Amanda Stevens was placed into handcuffs to be transported back to the Barton County Sheriff’s Office also to be placed on a 12-hour hold and for the criminal charge of interfering during an investigation. 

During the investigation the deputies conducted a routine check for warrants on all three and found that Steven Rose had a active warrant for his arrest out of Jasper County so Rose was arrested on that warrant. He was transported back to the Barton County Jail also.
