Santa Rosa, Calif.
Police in California say a driver has been arrested for DUI after failing a field sobriety test and driving with multiple empty beer cans in his vehicle.
According to the Cotati Police Department, officers conducted a traffic stop when they spotted a driver struggling to maintain their travel plans Sunday night.
Officers said they noticed the driver had an open container of alcohol in the cupholder, and after performing field sobriety tests, it was determined that the driver was more than three times the legal limit.
The driver was arrested for driving under the influence and operating a motor vehicle with a suspended license due to a prior DUI charge.
Once the driver was arrested, officers said they found over 70 empty Bud Light cans in his SUV during a vehicle search.
“We want to remind everyone that drinking and driving is not worth it! The outcome could have been much worse had our officers not stopped the driver,” the department shared.
