A Louisa man was arrested at 8:38 p.m. Wednesday along South Highway 3 in Lawrence County after being caught under the influence operating a non-motor vehicle.
Gregory Marcum, 57, is charged with operating a non-motor vehicle under the influence of intoxicants.
According to the arrest report, Marcum was seen driving a red Murray lawn mower in the south bound lane of South Highway 3 in the 13-thousand block, operating from left to right in the lane while pulling a cart that hoisted a refridgerator.
Marcum had an open container of beer upon stop, the report said. He smelled of alcoholic beverage.
According to the arrest report, deputy Mack Wilhite performed a standardized field sobriety test. Marcum failed the heel-to-toe routine, walking feet side-by-side & using hands to balance. He also attempted a one-leg stand but could not hold balance. P.B.T. detected strong presence of alcohol, the report said.
Marcum stated he had a few beers throughout the day, the report said.
Bloodwork currently pending.
(Note in the initial report it was posted that Chief deputy Mark Wheeler made the arrest when it was actually Mack Wilhite. We apologize and have corrected the issue.)
