John Weaver, 52, of Rochester, faces charge of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, a Class A misdemeanor.
An Indiana State Police officer was arrested last week for allegedly driving while under the influence of alcohol.
On Aug. 6, John "Brad" Weaver, 52, of Rochester, was booked into the Kosciusko County Jail on a charge of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, a Class A misdemeanor.
Court documents state that the incident happened after a report was made to the Kosciusko County Sheriff's Office about a suspicious man who appeared to be intoxicated and staggering around near a fraternal organization in Warsaw. When a deputy arrived on scene, he observed a vehicle backing out of the parking spot it had been in, exiting the parking lot. The deputy followed the vehicle, noticing it had been driven over the center line on Lake Street.
A probable cause affidavit states that the driver, later identified as Weaver, exited the vehicle when the deputy approached him, using the vehicle to balance while standing. Weaver claimed he had just came from a pizza restaurant for a football referee meeting. The deputy noticed Weaver had bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and the smell of alcohol on his breath. When the deputy asked Weaver if he had been drinking, Weaver claimed that he had about four drinks.
Court documents state that Weaver agreed to perform field sobriety tests, but had failed several of the tests. A portable breath test taken by Weaver showed results of 0.19 BrAC, and his chemical breathalyzer results came back as 0.219g/210L.
