Macon, GA – A driver from Zebulon, Georgia, was taken into custody earlier this month following a late-night traffic stop in downtown Macon, according to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office.
Authorities said H.E.A.T. Unit Cpl. Shane Smith stopped a Honda driving without headlights just after 11:00 p.m. The deputy reportedly initiated field sobriety tests after observing signs of impairment.
According to the sheriff’s report, the female driver allegedly failed the tests and later registered over the legal alcohol limit on a breathalyzer. She was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence and transported to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office Law Enforcement Center for processing.
The sheriff’s office emphasized its ongoing efforts to reduce impaired driving through proactive patrols by the H.E.A.T. Unit, which focuses on highway safety, enforcement, and education.
Residents are reminded to designate a sober driver or use a ride service when drinking.
