At approximately 1:50 a.m., a deputy located a black Jeep Renegade traveling eastbound on Highway 34 near Wintergreen Boulevard, south of Lockridge. Deputies had earlier observed the same vehicle traveling on a county road before proceeding into Fairfield city limits. The deputy observed the vehicle swaying into both eastbound lanes before conducting a traffic stop. The driver, identified as Johnson, was the sole occupant of the vehicle. The deputy noted Johnson had bloodshot and watery eyes and detected the odor of alcohol coming from within the vehicle. Johnson was asked to step out and refused to consent to standardized field sobriety tests. He was placed under arrest. At the Jefferson County Correctional Facility, Johnson again refused field sobriety tests and also refused a preliminary breath test. Under implied consent, however, Johnson consented to a breath sample on the Datamaster, which indicated a blood alcohol content of .116 percent. As of the time of publication, Johnson’s initial appearance had not been held. </div></body>
