PETALUMA, CA — A Petaluma man was arrested on multiple charges early Wednesday after an officer saw him speeding and pulled him over, police said.

At 12 a.m. Wednesday, the officer was on routine patrol when he stopped the car in the 200 block of Garfield Drive. The officer noticed that the driver, later identified as Dylan Moore, displayed signs of alcohol impairment, Petaluma police said.
