When officers spoke with Akin, he showed signs of impairment and admitted to having one alcoholic beverage. He consented to sobriety tests and performed poorly. Akin was informed of implied consent and agreed to provide a breath sample, resulting in 0.139% BAC. Akin was taken into custody for driving under the influence.
