(From the Seneca Police Department)

At 846 this morning Seneca PD received a call of a black SUV driving very erratically and speeding on its way into town. Sgt Wilson stopped the vehicle at 43 and Delaware.

At the time of the stop, the passenger was yelling obscenities from inside the vehicle at individuals on the sidewalk. The driver was arrested for DWI, driving while revoked and failure to produce insurance. 

The passenger was arrested for open container (she was extremely intoxicated as well as the driver). 

It should be noted that other drivers stopped and informed Officers of the erratic driving. Thanks again to the public for calling and helping with this arrest. Good Job Sgt Wilson and Officer Charles.
