A traffic stop leads to drug charges for a Liberty man.

Shortly after 11pm Tuesday night, Deputy Ron Goodpaster, with Casey County Sheriff's Office, observed a 2003 Chevy passenger car driving on the wrong side of the road on Upper Brush Creek, about five miles west of Liberty. The car ran off the roadway several times as the Deputy was behind him, with his blue lights activated.

According to the arrest citation, the driver, 42 year old Christopher M Lester, of 194 Shucks Creek Rd., Liberty, smelled of alcohol, had slurred speech, and had trouble holding his head up.

Mr. Lester told the Deputy he had consumed several beers and smoked some marijuana. He refused a blood test.

Lester was lodged in the Casey County Jail on charges of DUI, Driving on DUI suspended OL's, and Possession of Marijuana.
