25-year-old US Army soldier Dawson Garrett Woods drove his car into a ditch after hitting a mailbox at a Woodlawn Road residence on February 19th. Officers arrived and noticed a strong odor of alcohol as they approached Woods, who admitted to consuming 6 “tall boys” before driving. They conducted a probable cause search of his vehicle and located several opened containers on the passenger side floorboard. Woods consented to sobriety tests, performed poorly, and then, after being informed about implied consent, agreed to provide a blood sample. He was taken into custody for an open container violation, driving under the influence, and failing to exercise due care.
