When stopped by officers, Lewand told them he had not drank in a year and a half. He went on to say he was the designated driver and he had pulled into the Limberlost to pick a friend up and was headed to the “KOLO” dinner.

At that point, Lewand was asked to step out of the vehicle to perform sobriety testing.
