Vehicle in the Ditch Leads to an Arrest

The Leelanau County Sheriff's Office arrested a suspect after being dispatched to a vehicle in the ditch on M-22 north of M-109 in Empire Township on 12/27/13, at 0357hrs.

Upon arrival deputies located a 21 year old driver of a 2011 silver Jeep which had left the roadway and was stuck in the snowbank.  The driver showed signs of being under the influence of alcohol and after an investigation at the scene he was placed under arrest.

A roadside breath test showed the driver's blood alcohol to be .16% or twice the legal limit to operate a motor vehicle.  He was transported to the Leelanau County Jail and lodged for OWI.
