INFORMATION: While on patrol, an officer was doing stationary radar and observed a vehicle turn onto S. Main St. and travel Northbound. The officer noted that the driver was in the turn lane and was weaving back and forth. The officer followed the vehicle and initiated a traffic stop, and the vehicle pulled into a parking lot in the 1100 block of S. Main Street. 

Upon making contact with the female driver, she was asked to provide her license, registration, and insurance. While speaking with the driver, the officer noted that there was a strong odor of alcohol emanating from the driver. The officer also noted that her eyes appeared to be glassy and red. The officer asked the driver if she had consumed any alcohol, and she stated that she had drunk some beer earlier in the evening.

At the conclusion of the sobriety tests, the officer determined that there was enough probable cause to place the driver, identified as a 27-year-old Ann Arbor woman, under arrest for driving under the influence of alcohol. The case remains open pending laboratory analysis by the Michigan State Police Crime Lab to determine the level of intoxication and warrant review by the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office.
