Deputies Nabbed Motorist for Impaired Driving in Weekend Stop near Murphy
The Josephine County Sheriff's Office arrested a motorist for impaired driving following a weekend traffic stop near Murphy.
The Sheriff's Office reports deputies pulled over a Chevrolet Silverado driven by a 52-year-old male subject in the 5200-block of New Hope Road on Sunday at 5:50 p.m..
Deputies said they stopped the Silverado for going 80 miles per hour in a 45-mile-per hour speed zone and the driver displayed signs of impairment. He performed poorly in field sobriety tests, but refused to provide a breath sample so a search warrant was obtained and he was taken to Three Rivers Medical Center for a legal blood draw that documented a high level of impairment.
The suspect was lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants and Reckless Driving. His pickup was impounded.
