Pastor Accused of DWI in Missouri

Police charge 61-year old with DWI despite a BAC of .00%.

Police in Neosho arrested a 61-year old pastor and charged him with driving while intoxicated in Missouri. A traffic stop was initiated because the man had driven with his driver side wheels over the yellow line for half a block. The pastor reportedly failed a field sobriety test and was taken to a local jail. There a breath test revealed the man did not have alcohol in his system. Despite this revelation the police said they were required to send the case to the prosecutor and they booked the man on charges of MO DWI.

The unidentified pastor said that he doesn’t drink and that he takes medicine for a heart condition, but doubted it would affect his driving. He also has an eye condition, explaining his red eyes. The results of a urine test are still pending.
