OSP Nabbed Jacksonville Man for DUII after Williams Highway Stop in Murphy
The Oregon State Police arrested a Jacksonville man for impaired driving after a traffic stop on Williams Highway in Murphy late yesterday.
According to OSP, troopers pulled over a Toyota Tacoma driven by a 66-year-old man on Highway 238 near Murphy Creek Road on Monday at 4:54 p.m..
Troopers said they stopped the man for traffic violations and he displayed several signs of impairment. They said he performed poorly in field sobriety tests, so a search warrant was obtained and they transported him to Three Rivers Medical Center for a legal blood draw that documented his impairment by alcohol.
The suspect was subsequently lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants, Reckless Driving and Driving While Suspended. His pickup was towed to the impound yard.
