The Republican lawmaker told arresting officers that he drank the wine with dinner at a friend's house and denied feeling intoxicated, said the report, released this week.
Officers on bicycles patrolling the grounds around the Legislature that evening said they saw Garrick speed through two red lights and a stop sign before ducking into a garage beneath the Capitol.
The report says Garrick ignored the arresting officer when he was approached, instead walking to the passenger side of the state-owned silver Camry.
