On 7/4/2023, at approximately 0328 hours, an Officer on patrol observed a black pickup truck exit Sheetz without any headlights and began to travel south on William Flinn Highway at a high rate of speed. The pickup truck turned its headlights on and the Officer caught up to the vehicle and began to pace it at 74 mph in a posted 40 mph zone. While following the vehicle the Officer observed the vehicle to fail to use a turn signal and crossed over the lane line on multiple occasions. The Officer then initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle, which came to a stop in the eastbound lane of McNeal Road across from Christopher Drive.
While speaking with the driver, the Officer observed his speech to be slurred, his eyes to be glassy and blood shot, and the odor of an alcoholic beverage was coming from the vehicle. The driver was asked if he would submit to a battery of field sobriety tests, to which he agreed. Due to the totality of the circumstances, the driver was placed under arrest for suspicion of DUI.
