Norro D. Perdue, 46, of 224 Plumvalley St., was charged Saturday with operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs and cited for driving under suspension and no operator’s license.
He was pulled over for no headlights around 6:45 p.m. Saturday in the 400 block of south Main Street less than an hour after officers of the Bellefontaine Police Department had dealt with a domestic complaint between Perdue and Karen Lewis at their residence.
Perdue was observed drinking beer at that time. Lewis also admitted drinking beer. Both were warned they should not drive anywhere.
At the traffic stop, Perdue refused to participate in sobriety tests or take a breathalyzer and he was lodged in the Logan County Jail.
Lewis was driven home by a sober friend.
