A 26-year-old man was arrested Sunday for suspicion of second DUI and basic speeding, both misdemeanor offenses, according to a Carson City Sheriff's Office booking report.
According to the report, a CCSO sergeant made a traffic stop on a driver who had been speeding, going 57 mph in a 40 mph zone. During the stop, the sergeant could smell an odor of alcohol on the driver's breath, the report states.
A deputy arrived on scene and spoke with the driver. The deputy observed an odor of alcohol on his person, and also observed the man having red, watery eyes. The driver informed the deputy he had a drink Sunday night and could not say how much he drank or when his last drink was.
He agreed to standardized field sobriety tests and showed signs of impairment on the tests. He provided a preliminary breath test of .156. He was arrested for suspicion of a second DUI. His first conviction for DUI was in June 2018.
He was read a request for voluntary consent which he denied consent for both breath and blood testing. A Carson City judge granted a telephonic warrant for a single series of blood draws, the report states. Bail: $2,779.
