54-year-old Jason Parker Counce swerved through traffic lanes, nearly striking a cement truck on Briley Parkway South on February 21st. Officers observed this and conducted a traffic stop near Karen Drive. They approached the driver’s side and asked Counce why he was swerving, and he told them he had been drinking. He further explained that he had “two Vodkas” as officers noticed him showing multiple signs of impairment. Counce consented to sobriety tests, performed poorly, and provided a breath sample, which resulted in 0.259% BAC. He was taken into custody for driving under the influence and transported to booking.
