Incident Spotlight
Yesterday evening we received a call about a vehicle driving in a manner that the caller thought the driver might be impaired.
The caller said the vehicle had ran them off the road on South Byers. A short time later, an officer located the vehicle and stopped it at 3rd and Jackson for not using a turn signal.
The driver jumped out of the vehicle and wouldn’t cooperate, and a taser was utilized to get him into custody. The female passenger also jumped out of the vehicle and wouldn’t cooperate and was arrested. The male driver was found to be intoxicated and was arrested for DWI, resisting arrest, driving while suspended, and endangering the welfare of a child as it was discovered that there were two young juveniles in the vehicle, who also weren’t restrained.
The female passenger was arrested for possession of a controlled substance for having Xanax and Hydrocodone on her person. The kids were placed in a safe home with a family member. We are very serious about taking impaired drivers off the street and we appreciate when people report such driving behavior to us.
