On Saturday at 3:30 PM, Deputy Tyler Luttrell of the Casey County Sheriff’s Office was driving on KY 49 when he encountered a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix with a cracked windshield. He turned around and followed the vehicle to Upper Brush Creek, noticing it crossed the center line several times. Deputy Luttrell stopped the Pontiac and made contact with the driver, Cody R. Rushing, 26, of Liberty.

A check revealed that Cody was driving with a suspended license. Deputy Luttrell asked Cody to step out of the vehicle and noticed his eyes were very pinpointed, and he seemed nervous. When asked if he had taken anything, Cody stated it had been a week ago. Field sobriety tests indicated Cody was under the influence. Cody admitted he had used dope and smoked marijuana the previous day. He was placed under arrest.

A small clear tube containing marijuana was found in Cody’s left front pocket. He was transported to the Casey County Jail on charges of Obstructed Vision/Windshield, Driving on a Suspended or Revoked Operator’s License, DUI-Controlled Substance, Possession of Marijuana, and Drug Paraphernalia.
