MOORE

            MULTIPLE DRUNK DRIVERS GET PULLED OVER AND ARRESTED NEARLY EVERY WEEKEND IN HOPKINSVILLE—BUT IT’S EXTREMELY RARE FOR ONE TO DO WHAT A UNION COUNTY MAN DID FRIDAY.

            HOPKINSVILLE POLICE ATTEMPTED TO PULL OVER 41-YEAR OLD RICHARD LEE MOORE, JR. OF MORGANFIELD AROUND 10 O’CLOCK ON WOODMILL ROAD AFTER HE FAILED TO USE A TURN SIGNAL.

            MOORE CONTINUED TO DRIVE, TURNING ONTO EAST NINTH STREET, BEFORE EVENTUALLY DRIVING TO A LOCAL LIQOUR STORE. WHEN OFFICERS FINALLY MADE CONTACT WITH HIM, THEY COULD SMELL ALCOHOL ON HIS BREATH AND HE REPORTEDLY FAILED FIELD SOBIRIETY TESTS.

            MOORE TOLD POLICE HE HAD ONLY DRANK TWO BEERS—BUT HE BLEW A .250 ON THE BREATH TEST—WHICH IS OVER THREE TIMES THE LEGAL LIMIT.

            MOORE WAS ARRESTED AND LODGED IN THE CHRISTIAN COUNTY JAIL ON DUI, FAILURE TO USE A TURN SIGNAL AND FAILURE TO MAINTAIN INSURANCE CHARGES.
