Saturday night around 9:45 p.m., Casey County Deputy Austin Harris was traveling eastbound on KY-70 when he encountered a 2009 Chevy HHR driving on the yellow line. After observing the vehicle swerving for about a mile, he initiated a traffic stop. The driver, 21-year-old Devon A. Carr of Greensburg, initially braked, then veered into the opposite lane before pulling into a parking lot.

Approaching the vehicle, Deputy Harris detected the strong odor of marijuana and noticed Carr’s red eyes. Carr admitted to smoking about an hour earlier and stated he was “buzzed but not stoned.” He agreed to perform the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests but failed. 

A search of the vehicle revealed a pink bong, which Carr admitted he had used to smoke a bowl earlier. He was then arrested and transported to Casey County Hospital, where he consented to a blood test. Carr was later taken to Casey County Jail and charged with DUI-substance and reckless driving.
