GP Police Nabbed New Jersey Man for DUII after Stopping Him for Speeding

Grants Pass Police arrested a New Jersey man for impaired driving after he was caught speeding in the downtown area early yesterday.

The Police Department reports officers pulled over an Audi sedan driven by 28-year-old Giovanni Alberto Arroyave in the 800-block of NE F Street at about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday.

Police said Arroyave passed an unmarked patrol vehicle while traveling around 50 miles per hour in a 35 mile-per-hour speed zone. They said he exhibited several indicators of impairment and admitted to alcohol consumption. He performed poorly in field sobriety tests and was placed into custody.

Arroyave 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 documenting his impairment.

Giovanni Arroyave was lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants. His rented vehicle was returned to the rental agency lot.
