Responding officers located Jeremy Albright driving a Jeep Cherokee.
After bringing the SUV to a stop in a grass median, Albright got out of the vehicle and nearly fell over.
He refused to perform field sobriety exercises or provide a breath sample. During a search of the Jeep, officers found three bottles of vodka in a passenger seat compartment, two of which were empty.
Officers arrested Albright for driving under the influence and refusing to submit to DUI testing.
