They had to get a warrant for a blood draw. That's why she wasn't released until the next afternoon.
She didn't follow instructions on the roadside tests but they are hard to do. It looked like the cop did the test with the flashlight wrong. They are looking for a sort of bouncing of the eyeball at the extremities which I didn't see when the camera show ed her eyes. I think the cop did her version of the test twice so I may not be the only one that didn't see the eyeballs jerk. Maybe the breath test didn't show anything so the cop kept making her do it.
She's not obviously drunk. She might not be guilty.. By the time the cop asks you to step out of the car they have already decided to arrest you.
