Last week, a Connecticut state trooper granted a DUI suspect his wish when he allegedly asked to be arrested after he was reportedly seen driving down the wrong side of the Interstate.

Early in the morning on July 2, a 63-year-old driver from Worcester, Massachusetts, reportedly became lost while driving his Lexus in Killingly, Connecticut. He pulled onto Interstate 395, but according to a state trooper who stopped in the median, the man was going north on the south side and facing oncoming traffic. The trooper lost sight of the vehicle before he could intervene, and a description of the vehicle was distributed so other law enforcement officers could keep an eye out.

According to reports, approximately 20 minutes later, an off-duty State Trooper noticed a car that appeared to be breaking several traffic laws. They alleged that in addition to driving unsafely, the vehicle, which also matched the description of the one reported, was swerving between the lanes on the road. The trooper pulled over the car, and the driver stopped without incident. A report released by the Massachusetts State Police said the trooper “observed clear signs of impairment to include bloodshot glossy eyes and the distinct odor of an alcoholic beverage” when initially interacting with the man.

A woman in South Central Indiana was arrested during a traffic stop when the police reportedly discovered she had drugs in her pocket and asserted that she was intoxicated.

Late in the evening on April 24, an officer from the Bedford Police Department pulled over the driver of a Yukon for reportedly violating several traffic laws. It was reported that the vehicle was seen crossing a double yellow line with only the driver’s side tires and then overcorrected, causing her to come close to crashing into a concrete wall. When talking to the driver, she told him she had just gotten off work. The officer believed she was moving and responding slowly, causing him to suspect she might be intoxicated.

The woman was cooperative with the officer, and when she got out of the vehicle, he noted that she dropped the things she was carrying. She also reportedly performed poorly when she took the roadside sobriety tests. An officer searched her, and they retrieved a pouch from her pocket. A total of 72 pills believed to be Alprazolam, almost half of which were only pieces, were allegedly found inside the pouch. The police reported that the woman voluntarily told them that she did not have a prescription for the medication, but that she had taken half a pill earlier that day.
