Macon, Georgia – A driver was arrested on DUI charges after deputies reported a 0.257 breath test reading during a nighttime traffic stop on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
According to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office, H.E.A.T. Unit Deputy Dalton Palmer initiated a traffic stop after observing a Mercedes-Benz operating without headlights.

Officials have not released the driver’s name or age as of publication.
