DUI Driver’s Wrong Turn at Police Station
A Cleveland man was arrested for operating under the influence June 11 after driving into a restricted area behind the Solon Police Station. Wesley Davis, 50, drove past multiple “road closed” and “do not enter” signs before stopping near the jail entrance.
Davis told officers he was delivering food to an address on Solon Road but had clearly taken a wrong turn. He displayed signs of intoxication including slurred speech and bloodshot eyes. He registered a .068% blood alcohol content and was charged with OVI, failure to obey traffic control devices and open container violations.
