An illuminating conversation. 10/28/12 Orinda police pulled over a 20-year-old female driver for failing to have her license plate properly illuminated. After the stop, the officer realized her eyes of blue were redder than normal. The woman failed her field sobriety test; she was arrested and transported to Martinez Detention Facility for booking.
Unsafe at any turn, 10/26/12 A 45-year-old male was pulled over at Hwy 24 and Oak Hill for exhibiting unsafe turning. Turns out he carried an expired California driver's license, and failed a subsequent field sobriety test. He was taken to the nearest police station (Lafayette) where he registered .18 BAC. He was cited for driving on a suspended license, transported to Martinez Detention facility and booked. His vehicle was towed.
