LINCOLN PARK — A 52-year-old Detroit man was arrested for drunken driving at 3:22 a.m. Nov. 10 near the entrance to Allendale Elementary School on Oakwood Boulevard after he flagged down a police officer for directions.
The man, who smelled of alcohol, said he only spoke Spanish and did not have a driver’s license.
He failed standardized field sobriety tests. A preliminary breath test was administered, and the man had a blood-alcohol content of 0.105, more than the 0.08 limit for legally drunk in Michigan.
His vehicle was impounded and towed, and he was taken to a local hospital for a blood draw.
