Shortly after 4:30 PM on Saturday, Casey County Deputy Austin Harris was traveling northbound on KY 837 when he observed a '96 Dodge Ram Pickup repeatedly driving in the center of the road. He initiated a traffic stop, and Deputy Jacob Atwood arrived to assist.

Upon approaching the truck, Harris spoke with the driver, Samuel Blakey, and the passenger, Jeanne McFerron. He immediately detected the odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle.

When questioned, Blakey admitted there were marijuana roaches in the truck and that he and McFerron had smoked about an hour earlier. Blakey also disclosed that he had taken Buspar.

Blakey was placed under arrest and transported to Casey County Hospital, where he refused to submit to a blood test. The 42-year-old from Nancy, KY, was then taken to Casey County Jail on charges of DUI-substance (3rd offense) and careless driving.
