It’s been a few months since an erratic driver was stopped and asked to take a blood test because he was suspected of driving while under the influence of a controlled substance. Results were pending but now they’re back. The driver is facing criminal charges for driving with THC and Fentanyl in his blood.

Cody Lee Curley, 27, Bloomington, was pulled over by Indiana State Police Sgt. Ryan Miller late on May 17 after  a 911 caller said Curley’s vehicle, a green 2001 Toyota Echo, was all over the roadway, speeding up, slowing down and at one point driving down the middle of both lanes of I-69.

Sgt. Miller reported that when he located the vehicle, it was northbound on I-69 at 81 mph in a 70 mph zone. When stopped, the driver was identified as Curley and Sgt. Miller said a bag of plant material was in plain view. Curley allegedly admitted he had been smoking the material before he left Washington, Ind. and the trooper thought Curley was having trouble staying awake while sitting in his car.

When ISP Trooper Richard Klun, the investigating officer in this case, arrived on the scene, Curley was asked to exit the vehicle but he had trouble doing that so the trooper opened the door for him. Then while Curley was walking, he allegedly had to reach for the car for balance, then leaned against the trunk.

Curley could not pass all field sobriety tests and they were stopped for his safety – he was swaying and almost fell.

Curley was transported to Monroe Hospital where he submitted to a blood draw. He was then released on his own recognizance and a family member picked him up at the hospital.

Trooper Klun reported that when the test results came back this fall, the results showed Curley was operating a vehicle with Delta-9 THC and Fentanyl in his blood.

A criminal case was filed against Curley earlier today and he is being summoned to appear in Greene Superior Court on January 11 for an initial hearing.

Curley is facing charges of:

• Operating a vehicle while intoxicated endangering a person, a Class A misdemeanor,

• Operating a vehicle while intoxicated, a Class C misdemeanor, and

• Operating a vehicle with a Schedule I or II controlled substance in person’s body, a Class C misdemeanor.
