Two Drunk Drivers Arrested In Solon In One Day

SOLON, OH — Police watched a 28-year-old Aurora man pilot his car into the parking lot of Grantwood Golf Course then almost hit a light pole before parking in a construction area. To the shock and surprise of no one, the 28-year-old was found to be intoxicated and was eventually arrested.

Solon Police said they put the 28-year-old through field sobriety tests, which indicated the man was impaired. They then took the man to Solon Jail where he blew a .141 on a breath test. He has been charged with operating a vehicle impaired and prohibited BAC.

That was one of two OVI arrests Solon Police made on April 21. The second happened at 9:40 p.m. on US 422. Officers saw a car driving well under the speed limit and weaving between lanes. Police pulled the car over and immediately noticed that the driver, a 50-year-old man from Cleveland, smelled of alcohol.

The driver also had slurred speech and bloodshot eyes, according to police. Field sobriety tests were administered and confirmed that the man had been drinking. The man was arrested and taken to Solon Jail, where he provided a urine sample. That sample was sent to the Ohio State Highway Patrol Lab for testing.

The man has been charged with operating a vehicle impaired, marked lanes, possession of an open container of alcohol, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
