Anacortes Skagit County DUI Lawyer:  Driver denies drinking then arrested for DUI

An officer on patrol saw a vehicle southbound in the 2400 block of Commercial Avenue drift into the center turn lane and straddle the yellow line for part of a block just after 9 p.m. The vehicle moved into the right turn only lane to turn westbound onto 32nd Street but continued forward through the intersection. The officer contacted the driver and his 17-year-old daughter, who was a passenger. The man he did not have his license with him but verbally identified himself. While talking with the driver, the officer noticed an odor of intoxicants and that the driver's eyes were bloodshot and his face was flushed.

The driver denied drinking alcohol and agreed to exit the vehicle to talk with the officer. As he got out, the man allegedly had to hold onto the door to maintain his balance. He performed poorly on field sobriety tests and was arrested on a charge of DUI. He allegedly became irate, screaming at the officer to the point his daughter got out of the car and tried to calm him down. He was transported to police station for processing. His daughter was given a ride to wait for her mother to come pick them both up at the police station. The driver was cited and released.
