Saline police arrested a 20-year-old Tecumseh man at about 12:30 a.m. March 14. A Speedway employee informed police of an intoxicated man leaving the store.
The officer began following the man's vehicle at Harris and Henry streets and witnessed the man's vehicle drift left of the center lane twice — once near Lewis Street and once on Monroe Street. The man initially gave the officer a credit card instead of his identification, according to police reports.
A breath test revealed the man's blood-alcohol level to be 0.17 percent, which is more than the state's legal limit of 0.08. He was lodged at the Saline Police Department until released on a personal recognizance bond.
