Routine patrol leads to DUI

During a routine patrol, Putnam County Sheriff Deputy Josh Deal spotted a vehicle off the road at the T intersection of CR 25 North and 225 East. The vehicle had gone straight instead of turning left or right at the intersection.

 

While speaking with the driver, Timothy Robinson, of Fillmore, Deputy Deal noticed the driver attempting to hide alcohol between his legs. Then, nonchalantly, the driver attempted to discard the alcohol out of the window, despite being in plain sight of Deputy Deal.

 

The Putnam County Sheriff's Department says after an investigation and field testing, Deputy Deal took the driver in for a certified chemical test. The driver tested 2.5 times the legal limit for intoxication. Robinson was then arrested on a charge of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated. He was booked in the Putnam County Jail.
