Garrard man faces third DUI charge
LANCASTER - A Lancaster man faces his third driving under the influence offense after allegedly being seen driving on the wrong side of the road.
James R. Talley, 31, 1102 Fall Lick Road, was arrested Friday night after Lancaster Police Officer Allen Weston reported seeing Talley driving east in the westbound lane on Crab Orchard Road.
Weston said that when he turned on his emergency lights Talley quickly pulled over, got out of his vehicle "and walked almost sideways."
Asked his name, Talley told Weston it was "Marcus Talley."
Talley, who Weston said smelled of alcohol and marijuana, refused a field sobriety test. The officer said he found the remains of a marijuana cigarette in Talley's cigarette pack.
Talley, who has two prior DUI convictions, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, possession of marijuana, operating under a suspended license and giving a false name.
