A Bloomington man, who was stopped in the wee hours for driving left of center in eastern Greene County, was arrested for OVWI after he tested with a .12 BAC.

Jordan Riley Wever, 20, Bloomington, was arrested by Sgt. Bobby Pierce of the Greene County Sheriff’s Department early Saturday, March 28.

Sgt. Pierce stopped a gray 2008 Ford F250 around 12:30 a.m. that Saturday for allegedly driving left of the center line on State Road 43 near the Greene and Monroe county line.

Sgt. Pierce reported Wever was the driver and he exhibited several signs of intoxication then failed field sobriety tests.

Wever agreed to take a chemical test and Sgt. Pierce reported test results showed he had a BAC of .12. The legal limit is .08.

Wever was booked into the Greene County Jail around 3:30 a.m.
