| INFORMATION: While on routine patrol, officers were dispatched to the area of the 900 block of S. Main Street for the report of a motorist who was driving in a hazardous manner.

The officer observed the vehicle make an abrupt turn and a wide right turn into a parking lot, where the officer initiated a traffic stop. The officer made contact with the driver and reported that the driver appeared visibly nervous and was “profusely sweating”.
