A man was arrested for drunken driving at 1:15 a.m. Sunday at North Euclid Avenue and East Mabel Street, reports stated.

The man had been waiting at the red light and as soon as the light turned green, he turned left in front of traffic, almost causing a collision, reports stated.

When the police officer pulled the man over and approached the vehicle, he saw beer cans in the back of the man's truck, reports stated.

The officer saw the driver had watery, bloodshot eyes and could smell alcohol on his breath. The officer asked him if he had been drinking, and he said he had three beers, reports stated.

The man agreed to take field sobriety tests and stumbled when he got out of the truck. The officer asked the man a couple of questions, and the man said, "I'm not going to do your fucking tests," reports stated.

The officers tried to do a Breathalyzer on the man, but they were coming up invalid, so the man was transported to University Medical Center for blood tests.

The man was cited and released to his mother.


A man was arrested around 11 p.m. Saturday for possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia at the Center for Creative Photography, 1030 N. Olive Road, reports stated.

Police approached the man, who was standing alone with two bikes and two backpacks, and ran a warrant check on him that revealed he had two outstanding warrants, reports stated.

Police searched the man and found a small bag containing what the man described as "meth." The man's backpack also contained $265 in cash, more methamphetamine, several glass pipes with black-and-white residue, syringes, other drug paraphernalia, a scale and metal knuckles, reports stated.

The man said all the items were his, reports stated.

The man's girlfriend said she had seen him sell meth before, and he had been on the phone doing "drug deals."

Police arrested the man and took him to Pima County Jail.


The windshield of a student's Jeep Wrangler was broken on Saturday in the Zone 1 lot at 601 N. Vine Road, reports stated.
