RIVERVIEW — A 63-year-old Brownstown Township man was arrested the evening of March 4 for operating while impaired and for carrying a concealed pistol while intoxicated after he crashed into a utility pole in the 14000 block of Pennsylvania Road.
The driver said he was cut off while attempting to switch lanes.
The man had vomited inside the car, and smelled of intoxicants. He also failed standardized field sobriety tests.
A preliminary breath test was administered, and the man had a blood-alcohol content of 0.12, one-and-a-half times the 0.08 limit for legally drunk in Michigan.
His vehicle was impounded and towed, and he was taken into custody.
