DUI
According to the police report, on August 24, officers responded to a call regarding an erratic driver spotted turning onto Lawrence Avenue. Responding officers waited at an intersection for the car and then proceeded to follow it for a couple blocks. When they saw the car swerving they pulled it over. Police noticed a strong alcohol smell emitting from the vehicle so they asked the driver, Jason Robert Zink, 33, of Ellwood to step out to perform a few sobriety tests. One of the tests consisted of Zink raising a leg of his choice, about six inches off the ground, and counting to 30 without putting his foot down. Zink only made it to 10 and he put his foot down after every number in order to regain his balance. Zink failed all the tests officers asked him to perform; he was arrested for DUI and taken to the Ellwood City Hospital for a blood test.
