A motorist was arrested Wednesday, March 19, for impaired driving following a traffic stop initiated by officers of the Washington Township Police Department.
Officers on patrol conducted a traffic stop shortly after 8 p.m. of a vehicle driven by Joshua Spurlock, 49, along U.S. Route 33 near Township Road 239 for violations of marked lanes and failure to stop at a stop sign.
Upon making contact with Spurlock, officers observed signs of impairment. Spurlock initially denied consuming alcohol but later admitted that he had. He was asked to perform field sobriety tests, which led to his arrest for operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
Spurlock was transported to the jail, where he refused to submit to a breath test. He was charged with OVI, marked lanes and stop sign violations.
