The Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office reported the following details to Dexter Township:
On May 19th, Deputies were dispatched to the intersection of Dexter-Pinckney Road and McGregor Road for an unknown injury crash. Upon arrival, Deputies contacted the driver of the at-fault vehicle and noticed that his speech was slurred and he had difficulty maintaining his balance. Deputies performed a sobriety evaluation and requested he take a preliminary breath test. The driver agreed and Deputies obtained a result over 2.5X the legal limit. The driver was placed under arrest and consented to a blood draw. The results of the blood draw confirmed that the driver’s blood alcohol content was nearly 3X the legal limit. Charges are pending with the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office.
