DUI — A Huntingdon man was arrested during a April 6 traffic stop on Maytown Road.
Eric J. Parker, 48, of 333 Myrtle Drive was charged with DUI (second offense), driving on a revoked license (sixth offense), and habitual motor vehicle offender. According to the report by Deputy Cody Walker, he pulled over a silver Nissan Maxima driven by Parker at around 1:05 a.m. because the car’s tag was not illuminated. While speaking with Parker, Walker observed that Parker’s speech was slurred, and he could detect a strong odor of alcohol coming from Parker. A computer check showed that Parker’s driver’s license was revoked for a prior DUI conviction. Walker had Parker perform field sobriety tests, and Parker performed poorly on all of them. When asked if he had been drinking, Parker said that “he was drinking a beer on his way to work.” After getting Parker’s consent to search the vehicle, Walker found a quarter full bottle of brandy and a half full can of beer. Parker agreed to take a Breathalyzer test, which showed Parker’s blood-alcohol level to be above legal limits.
