Officers initiated a traffic stop and they say when talking to the suspect, he had bloodshot, watery eyes, and refused to answer questions while he ate snacks and talked on the phone.

As officers asked him to step out of the car, they say the suspect shifted the car into drive. Officers then opened the car door and pulled him from the driver’s seat and put the car back into park.

The driver did not have ID and refused to give officers accurate information, but agreed to take a breathalyzer test and blew a 0.14.

When taken to Tulsa County Jail, the suspect’s name and age was confirmed. He was then taken to the Community Intervention Center and booked for DUI, obstructing an officer, resisting and officer, reckless driving driving without a driver’s license, and no proof of insurance.
