FARMINGTON
San Juan County Sheriff's Office deputies arrested an Arizona
man Sunday for his 10th DUI, according to Sgt. Tyler Truby.
Andrew
Holiday Sr., 56, of Kayenta, Ariz., was charged with DUI, not having
insurance, not having registration, not having a driver's license,
not staying within traffic lanes and possession of an open container
of alcohol in a vehicle, deputies said.
When
deputies pulled over Holiday's vehicle at around 10 a.m. Sunday
on U.S. 64 near the 34 mile marker, he crossed the center lane and
shoulder several times before coming to a stop, deputies said.
When
approaching the car, deputies immediately smelled alcohol on Holiday's
breath and found an open beer can, deputies said. When asked for
his license and registration, Holiday tried to give a deputy two
one-dollar bills as his license after flipping past it several times.
After
performing a series of field sobriety examinations, the results
of a breathalyzer showed Holiday had a blood alcohol concentration
(BAC) of .24, three times the legal limit, deputies said.
Truby
said he could not determine how drunk Holiday was given his blood
alcohol content, but noted that Holiday was definitely "highly
impaired."
Holiday
was then booked into the San Juan County Detention Center, deputies
said.
