A fifty-four-year-old man was arrested on DUI and drug charges near the Floyd County line last Saturday. A Chattooga County Sheriff’s Deputy traveling on Highway 27 shortly after midnight, noticed a car with its emergency flashers on. When the deputy stopped and talked to the driver, the driver said he thought he was about to run out of gas and was going to make a u-turn to go back to the gas station in Armuchee, but his vehicle stalled. While speaking with the driver, the deputy noticed signs of impairment. When the deputy asked the driver and his passengers to step out of the vehicle, the driver tossed something into the back seat. After searching the vehicle, the deputy found a bag of suspected methamphetamine in the back seat. Mark Allen Lucas was charged with DUI and possession of methamphetamine and was booked into the Chattooga County Jail.
