A Ruston man seen by police driving slowly but swerving off the roadway multiple times was arrested for his second DWI offense last week in Ruston.
Reginald McClaine, 37, was stopped on October 25, and several indicators of impairment were noticed. McClaine admitted to drinking about five shots of alcohol prior to driving. He performed poorly on field sobriety tests and was arrested.
A breath test at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center showed no alcohol in McClaine’s system. At that time, he admitted to smoking THC, the intoxicating ingredient of marijuana, just prior to driving.
McClaine was booked for second offense DWI and careless operation of a vehicle after records showed he had a previous DWI conviction.
