Deputies arrived on scene and located 43-year-old Jason D. Boerstler of North Augusta , Georgia. Mr. Boerstler appeared highly intoxicated. Field sobriety tests were offered to Boerstler, and he was unable to perform them or perform them safely.
Boerstler agreed to a certified test for alcohol. He was taken to the Plymouth Hospital, where the tests were done, along with jail clearance due to his high alcohol level. Boerstler tested over six times the legal limit.
He was taken to the Marshall County Jail where he was charged and booked for operating a vehicle while intoxicated, also a felony due to a prior conviction. Boerstler was given a court date and a cash bond of $1500.00.
