On November 9th, a Chattooga County officer was patrolling Highway 114 when he observed a reckless driver on the road. 

The driver was heading towards the officer with their bright lights on, and as it got closer, the vehicle crossed the center line into the officer's lane. The officer had to drive off the road to avoid being hit, and immediately turned around to pull the driver over.

The driver continued to straddle the center lane and eventually stopped in front of Tricon on Highway 114. The driver was identified as Ray Lewis once pulled over. When the officer asked Mr. Lewis why he drove head-on into his lane, Mr. Lewis told him that he was texting a girl. The officer could smell an odor of burnt marijuana on Mr. Lewis while they spoke. 

Mr. Lewis was able to provide his license to the officer, but not any proof of insurance when asked. Mr. Lewis was asked to step out of his vehicle to conduct some field tests. After failing several tests, the officer asked Mr. Lewis if he could search his car. Mr. Lewis complied, and the officer found a pill bottle without a label, and four marijuana cigarettes. 

Mr. Lewis was placed under arrest and admitted to consuming marijuana and hydrocodone that night. Mr. Lewis was transported to the Chattooga County Jail.
