A call to 911 at 4:43 p.m. reported the suspect drove a sky blue Honda sedan past the sand courts at Reinhart Volunteer Park at about 30 miles per hour. He was also honking the horn and appeared to be chugging a beverage.

Officers contacted the suspect and took him into constructive custody. He was identified as Jacob Merwin, and found to be wanted on a warrant out of the Jackson County Sheriff's Office for DUII Cannabis.
His vehicle was released to an arriving friend, and Merwin was taken to the Adult Jail Facility for lodging on his warrant. He was then released due to a lack of resources.
