Bride’s Wedding Day Ruined After Cop Pulled Her Over for DUI Despite Being Sober

A bride’s wedding day was reportedly ruined after a cop pulled her over on suspicion of DUI despite being sober. Brianna Longoria was on her way to Arizona to celebrate her wedding when the incident occurred on December 29, 2024. 

The bride from Fresno is suing the Phoenix Police Department, alleging it ruined her wedding day. The lawsuit comes amid the recent bodycam footage obtained by Fox News affiliate Fox26 from the Sud & Pierce Law Firm. 

In the footage, Longoria was initially pulled over for reportedly running a red light, the day after she’d exchanged her vows. After getting pulled over, officers did a breath analysis through a breathalyzer to check for blood alcohol levels. 

Anything above 0.08% would be considered illegal and would be cause for a DUI arrest. However, the footage revealed that the test showed “triple zeroes” on the device. Meaning, she was completely sober. 

Similarly, blood samples were collected to check for drugs and alcohol, both of which returned as negative. Despite negative results, the individual was reportedly arrested on suspicion of a drug DUI. But why did they arrest her in the first place? 

The publication revealed that officers noticed her allegedly "glossy and dilated eyes.” But the bodycam footage did not support the officer's claims, as her eyes appeared normal. 

Moreover, shortly after the officers arrested her, one of the two officers on scene made a reportedly questionable remark. The officer alleged, “They’re going to kick me off the squad if I don’t get a DUI.

So is the escalation of DUIs despite negative results a pattern, or was it a genuine mistake from the officer's end?

The lawsuit revealed more insight about the charges and the aftermath of the bride’s arrest, which ultimately led to her wedding day being ruined. 

What Did the Lawsuit Filed by the Bride Allege After her DUI Arrest? 

The lawsuit alleged that charges of running a red light and a DUI were false. Firstly, Longoria’s legal representatives raised questions about intentional arrests to meet quotas.

It also accused both officers of using the DUI arrest as an opportunity to “further their careers.”

Although the DUI charges were later dropped against her, the damage that followed was reportedly irreparable.

The lawsuit was filed in December 2025, a little before the newly obtained bodycam footage.  

The reportedly wrongful arrest not only led to her missing out on a honeymoon but also caused emotional and mental distress.

It also reportedly affected her cancer treatments, which were delayed due to the legal procedures during her arrest. 

Phoenix Police Department Respond to the Bride’s lawsuit 

As a result, the lawsuit revealed the kind of justice she’s looking for: “damages, policy changes, and a clear record.” Further details about the case are highly anticipated.

 In the aftermath of the lawsuit, the Phoenix Police Department released a statement. They also shared an update about the officers on site.

Firstly, they confirmed that both officers named ‘Hannah’ and ‘Metheny’ are still employed. 

The statement also read, “This case has been referred to and is currently under review by the Professional Standards Bureau.”

Lastly, they dismissed claims of having a DUI quota in the department despite the allegations in the lawsuit.
