A Summerville man pulled over by Chattooga County Sheriff's Deputies on Friday possibly had a large amount of prescription drugs in his system. According to the report, 32-year-old Charles Patrick Tucker, of a Bittings Avenue address, was stopped driving a black Camaro, less than the speed limit down Highway 27, just north of the Summerville City limits. Erratic use of a turn signal and using the signal improperly was the reason cited on the report for the traffic stop.

 

In the report, Chief Deputy Kevin Woods states that Tucker seemed Lethargic and he asked Tucker if he was on any medication. Tucker reportedly admitted to taking Loricet, a Triptyline medication, Floricet and Zanax the night before. He said he also had a prescription for Soma, which he also might have in his system. 

 

During the stop, another deputy found a prescription bottle labled Floricet, with Tucker's name on it. Tucker said he had taken one that morning.

 

Woods arrested Tucker due to his driving, admission of prescription drug usage and the results of the field sobriety tests, all of which Tucker failed.  He was charged with driving of the influence of drugs, and improper use of a turn signal.
