He was one of two arrested for drunken driving in Pike County over the last week. David Ray Waltz, 36, of Washington, was arrested by Pike County Sheriff Dep- uty Jason McKinney. Deputy McKinney said his brother, Chris McKin- ney, who is a reserve offi- cer, called central dispatch after he noticed Waltz's truck had crashed into trees off the side of Highway 57. Chris stopped to check on the driver and talked with Waltz, who asked if he could help him get out of the ditch. Chris said Waltz was in a big hurry to get out and didn't want police involved. Deputy Jason McKin- ney said he was at the inter- section of Highway 57 and 61 and started toward the scene. Deputy McKinney said while he was on his way, Chris called and said Waltz had run across the road and went into a body shop. Deputy McKinney said he drove to the body shop and when he got out of this patrol car, he noticed a man come out of the body shop match- ing the description of Waltz. He said Waltz looked at him and then took off running. Deputy McKinney said he drove along the road with Waltz, who was on foot run- ning along the other side of the road, and continued to run even though Dep- uty McKinney had yelled for him to stop and had his emergency lights on. Waltz, after running several hun- dred feet, then crossed the road in front of Deputy McK- inney and ran up a bank. He eventually stopped and Deputy McKinney took him back to his vehicle. While talking to Waltz, Deputy McKinney said he noticed the odor of alcohol. Waltz failed field sobri- ety tests and was taken to the Pike County Jail, where he tested 0.17 percent for blood alcohol content. The legal limit in Indiana is 0.08 percent. Waltz was preliminari- ly charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated, resisting law enforcement and leaving the scene of an accident. Deputy McKinney said he later talked to two men in the body shop and they told him Waltz had tried to get them to pull his truck out. Then when Deputy McKin- ney drove up, Waltz took off running. A Newburgh man was ar- rested early Saturday morn- ing after police received a report of a reckless driver southbound on I-69, near the 48.5 mile marker. Pike County Deputy Sher- iff Paul Collier said he drove to the Highway 61 inter- change with I-69 and waited until he saw the described vehicle go by, and he start- ed following it. He said the vehicle was driving only 45 mph in a 70 zone, and he noticed it cross the fog line on the right side of the road and al- most run off the road before he stopped it. Harley Westerfield, 23, of 401 Jefferson St., Newburgh, was driving. He admitted to drink- ing and failed field sobriety tests. He was transported to the Pike County Jail, where he tested 0.159 percent for blood alcohol content. He was preliminarily charged with operating a ve- hicle while intoxicated.
