29-year-old Edwin Chaparro was caught driving under the influence near Peachers Mill Road and Providence Boulevard on May 4th. A complainant advised that a Volkswagen hit a curb and made a turn in a non-turn lane. Officers noticed the vehicle’s inability to maintain its lane heading south toward North Riverside Drive. Officers initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle at the Electric Cowboy and spoke with Chaparro.
During the conversation, officers noticed the smell of alcohol emitting from the vehicle as well as Chaparros’s Glassy eyes and slurred speech. Chaparro admitted to officers that he had a shot of whiskey and was coming from Tippers, a bar on Tiny Town Road. Officers then asked him to perform sobriety tests, which he performed poorly, and he was taken into custody for DUI.
