A twenty-one-year-old man was arrested at a checkpoint in Lyerly the day after Thanksgiving, according to a report released this week by the Georgia State Patrol. State Troopers and Chattooga County Sheriff’s Deputies were conducting the checkpoint at the intersection of Oak Hill Road and Smallen Road. Shortly before 1 PM, a vehicle pulled up at the checkpoint and a deputy alerted state troopers that he believed the driver was impaired. The driver, identified as Jason Wayne Malone, told the trooper that he had smoked marijuana earlier in the day before going to work. After a field sobriety test, Malone was arrested and charged with DUI and booked into the Chattooga County Jail.
