According to a report released by the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office on Wednesday of this week, a routine traffic stop led to the arrest of local man James Lester Coln, 50, after he was caught speeding and found to be driving under the influence. A sheriff’s deputy stopped Coln’s gray Ford F-150 for going 70 mph in a 55 mph zone at the intersection of Highway 48 and JP Thornberry Drive. Coln showed signs of impairment, but initially denied drinking, attributing the smell of alcohol to cologne. Despite failing field sobriety tests, including balance and instruction-following tasks, Coln refused a breathalyzer test. The deputy spoke with Coln’s 18-year-old son, who expressed concern about his father’s drinking problem and the need for help. Coln was charged with DUI, expired registration, and speeding, and taken to jail for processing.
