While instructing him to place his hands behind his back, I observed a strong odor of alcoholic beverage coming from him as he was attempting to speak but was slurring his speech while he was attempting to pull away from me. I allowed Demetrio to speak with his wife while waiting on Deputy Camp to arrive.While Demetrio was speaking with her I noticed that his Eyes were blood shot and he continued to need assistance with standing due to him stumbling around and continued to slur his speech which is consistent with being under the influence of alcohol. After Deputy Camp #516 arrived on scene to assist, I placed Demetrio in the back of my Sheriff’s Office vehicle #1324 while I documented the damage and relayed the information to Deputy Knight #543 who was still currently on scene at Sunlight Rd working the accident that Demetrio had fled from.Demetrio Chuc placed under arrest and transported to Gilmer County Detention Center and turned over to detention staff.
