On Monday, a Chattooga County Officer was traveling over Taylor’s Ridge when he noticed a pickup truck swerving through traffic, crossing over lanes, and speeding. The Officer initiated his traffic stop lights but the truck still didn’t stop. The driver was going 77mph in a 55mph zone. The driver did not pull over until he got behind a car that slowed him down. Anaya Alejandro was finally pulled over at Wildlife Lake Road. The officer explained to him that he was driving very recklessly and could have gotten someone killed. Alejandro picked up his phone and said he was on it. He was also asked why it took so long for him to pull over and he pointed to the radio and said he didn’t notice the officer was behind him. Alejandro was asked if he had been drinking because his vehicle had the odor of alcohol in it, but he said he hadn’t. Alejandro agreed to a breathalyzer test to which he blew 0.41 grams. He was then arrested for reckless driving, speeding, failure to maintain a lane, and distracted driving. After searching Alejandro’s vehicle, a crushed can of beer and a another bottle of beer was found in the passenger side of his vehicle.
