DUI: Edwin Saul swerves between lanes, nearly hits police car in Toyota Tacoma on I-40

29-year-old Edwin Saul nearly struck an officer’s patrol car with his blue Tacoma on I-40 in the early hours of February 3rd. Officers noticed this, drove behind him for further observation, and observed him swerving before they initiated a traffic stop. Saul passed several safe spots to pull into and stopped halfway onto the shoulder lane, partially in a travel lane. They approached and asked him to exit the vehicle, to which he complied, and watched him stumble while walking to their patrol car. Saul was detained, and in a subsequent search of his pickup truck, officers located several open containers throughout the vehicle. Saul was taken into custody for driving under the influence.

19-year-old Brennan Spiller was standing on the shoulder of I-40 after wrecking his 2006 Mazda in late January with a bloody nose and a busted lip.

He was transported to the hospital for treatment and issued citations related to the DUI. He was booked on those charges this week.
