Officers asked her to step out of the vehicle and she failed to take the vehicle out of drive. She failed a field sobriety test and was arrested.

The driver and passenger admitted to having several drinks, but neither was of age. The passenger physically refused a breath test and the driver verbally refused. Both were arrested.

June 3 — Shortly after 1 a.m., officers noticed a heavily intoxicated man throwing up in the parking lot of the Motel 6. Officers approached the Asheville, N.C., man and noticed he smelled of alcohol. The man gave an inconsistent birth date and age, and then admitted he lied and was not old enough to drink.
