An allegedly intoxicated driver told Johnson County Sheriff’s deputies that he rolled his car before he continued driving the damaged vehicle on Highway 218.
Arrest records indicate deputies observed 31-year-old Deandre Scott of 8th Avenue SW in Cedar Rapids driving a heavily-damaged 1994 GMC Yukon northbound at 83 miles per hour just north of the Hills exit at 1am Friday. The officer conducted a traffic stop after noticing the SUV leave its lane multiple times.
Scott allegedly told the deputy that the damage to his SUV came after he swerved to avoid a deer, rolling his vehicle. Scott allegedly showed signs of intoxication, and the officer reports seeing multiple open containers of Coors Light inside the vehicle.
Police say Scott performed poorly on field sobriety tests and registered a blood alcohol level of .092%. He was arrested and charged with Operating While Intoxicated – 2nd Offense.
