On July 9, 2022, an officer from the Madison County Sheriff’s Office approached a vehicle, parked on the side of the roadway pointed towards the intersection. The officer stopped and approached the vehicle to make sure that the driver did not need any assistance. When the officer made contact with the driver, he appeared to be dazed and confused and made unintelligible responses to the officer’s questions. The officer asked the client to step out of the vehicle and do roadside sobriety tests. The Defendant did not do well on the roadside sobriety test and also gave a blood alcohol sample of .206 and .194. He was arrested and charged with driving under the influence.
After reviewing the case with the State Attorney, the driving under the influence charges were dismissed.
