A Liberty man was arrested Friday evening after deputies responded to reports of a suspicious individual at Lake Liberty. 

Around 7 p.m., Casey County Deputy Austin Harris was dispatched to investigate a man exhibiting erratic behavior, driving a Jeep Cherokee up and down the road, stopping, getting out, and moving to the back seat.

Upon arrival, Deputy Harris and Officer Adam Hewitt found 45-year-old William O. Clements of Liberty swinging his arms, jerking his hands and head, and pacing around the vehicle. When questioned, Clements claimed he was just walking around but continued swaying as he spoke. He admitted to taking Suboxone but later disclosed he had used meth earlier at his home.

Clements declined to undergo field sobriety tests but consented to a vehicle search, which yielded no contraband.

Clements was arrested and taken to Casey County Hospital, where he refused a blood test. He was then transported to Casey County Jail and charged with DUI-substance (4th offense).
