A UAPD officer was driving toward the East Sixth Street and North Highland Avenue intersection when he saw two cars stopped side by side at a red light take off at a high rate of speed.

A man was charged with DUI after police saw a passenger in the bed of his truck drinking a beer Saturday night, reports stated.

A police officer was driving on East Speedway Boulevard at 4:32 p.m., when he saw a man in the bed of a tan pick-up truck drinking from what looked like a bottle in a brown paper bag. He also saw the passenger in the front seat drinking from a can, reports stated.

When he turned on his sirens and emergency lights, the driver of the truck waved to him. The driver continued to drive down Speedway, eventually stopping at a gas station, reports stated.

The officer asked the driver if he had been drinking and the man said, "Not today." As he was getting out of the truck, the driver used the door to hold himself up. The officer smelled alcohol on his breath, reports stated.

After a field sobriety test, the driver was taken back to UAPD and given a breathalyzer test. After blowing a .245, the man was cited for extreme DUI, reports stated.

The passengers in the truck were released at the scene and charged with open container violations after police found that they were drinking from 24-ounce cans of Milwaukee's Best, reports stated.
