Touch your nose with your ... nevermind
3:18 p.m. — First Block of Bannbury Lane. Drunk Driver. Police responded to a hit and run, reported by an anonymous person. An older male was driving recklessly in a white Chevy SUV. When stopped, the man smelled strongly of alcohol, had bloodshot eyes and spoke with slurred speech. He stated he was just leaving his sister’s house and was traveling back to Clearwater.
The deputy asked the man to step out of his vehicle, and as he did so, the man nearly fell on his face into traffic. His balance was greatly challenged. The deputy asked him if he always has trouble with his balance or if he had been drinking.
Due to the man’s unstable condition, police skipped the sobriety tests and arrested the man for leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident and driving under the influence.
