Bourbon Officers Make OWI Arrest
At 3:17 a.m. Oct. 24, Bourbon Officer Matt Geiger was called to the area of 12B Road and EM Road due to a male subject that appeared to be asleep at a stop sign in his vehicle.
Upon arrival, officers located Frank R. Hoffer, Warsaw, asleep at the wheel with the vehicle running and in gear. It was discovered Hoffer had been drinking and was given a field sobriety test which he failed.
Hoffer reportedly refused a certified chemical test and was then arrested and charged with operating while intoxicated, which was elevated to a felony charge due a prior OWI charge within the past five years.
Hoffer was booked with a cash bond of $1,500 and was assigned a court date.
