A 17-year-old male was arrested for DUI and failure to stop at a red light just after 1 a.m. Aug. 19.
Police pulled over a gray Toyota after it went through a red light at the intersection of East Sixth Street and North Park Avenue.
When the officer told the male that he detected the scent of alcohol, he replied, “”I haven’t been drinking,”” according to reports.
The officer asked the male if he would like to blow into a device to prove his sobriety. He responded, “”Yes, I’d like that,”” according to reports.
He blew into the device and it indicated a significant amount of alcohol. The officer then conducted three field sobriety tests, after which the male was transported to the University of Arizona Police Department, 1852 E. First St.
At the station the officer performed two more breath tests, resulting in blood-alcohol content levels of .086 and .092. The male was charged with “”Minor Operating a Vehicle with Spirituous Liquor in Body,”” “”DUI – Impaired to the Slightest Degree”” and “”DUI with a BAC of .08 or Higher,”” according to reports.
He was cited and released to his mom.
