If you pull out in front of another vehicle on the roadway, make sure it's not a law enforcement vehicle, and definitely make sure, you're not under the influence of drugs. However, a 24-year-old Trion woman didn't heed that advice recently. According to a report filed by the Chattooga County Sheriff's Department Cpl. Kenneth Craig stopped a vehicle driven by Brandi Nicole Barr, of a Penn Street, Trion address, after she pulled out in front of his vehicle as she turned off Halls Valley Road onto highway 27 almost causing an accident. Upon speaking to Barr, it appeared that she was under the influence of drugs, according to the report, which indicated her speech was slurred and she was squinting her eyes. Barr told the deputy she had taken two Lorcet about an hour before driving and had taken several Xanex a few hours prior to taking the Lorcet. While searching the vehicle the deputy reportedly found several several empty prescription bottles, some of which belong to Barr, but three belonging to three other people. Barr was arrested for driving under the influence of drugs.
