WATCH MICHAEL ROSENFIELD'S REPORT IN THE VIDEO PLAYER ON THE RIGHTA driver in his 50s is seen taking a preliminary breath test in Pontiac and testing at .16, twice the legal limit.
It didn't take long for the Oakland County Alcohol Enforcement Unit to find a drunk driver. We set out with Deputy Mike David and a team of patrols, with the focus areas being Pontiac, Bloomfield Hills, Bloomfield Township and Waterford.
Our patrol car finds a driver appearing to drift and driving too slow, two signs of impairment. But after speaking with the driver, he seems ok.
Deputy Jay Yaldoo has something at Parry and Montcalm in Pontiac. He spots a driver speeding, making a U-turn in the middle of the road, and entering a Walgreens driveway where he's pulled over. The driver tells the deputies he only had one beer at a relative's house. There's a stench of alcohol coming from his mouth. He tells deputies he has two prior convictions for drunk driving.
He's arrested and taken to Pontiac Osteopathic for a blood test and then to jail to sober up.
