Saline police officers arrested a 42-year-old Saline man at 2:15 a.m. Jan. 13, when the man was seen repeatedly crossing into the oncoming traffic lane on Michigan Avenue, according to the police report.
The officer witnessed the man enter the left-turn lane and then pass into an oncoming traffic lane. There was no other traffic at the time.
The officer pulled the man over at the intersection of Old Creek Court and Old Creek Drive in Saline. The man reportedly crossed the left-turn lane numerous times between Sage Court and Maple Road.
When the officer pulled the man over, he could smell intoxicants on the man's breath. The driver's eyes were also red and watery, according to a police report.
A preliminary breath test showed the man had a blood-alcohol level of 0.11 percent, which is more than the legal limit of 0.08 percent and is considered drunk under Michigan law. The man was lodged at the Saline Police Department until released on personal recognizance bond.
