A driver was arrested in Folsom last week after police said he was found to be driving under the influence with a blood alcohol concentration measured at more than four times the legal limit.
According to theFolsom Police Department, concerned citizens contacted authorities on May 1 to report a suspected impaired driver in the area of Iron Point Road and Grover Road.
Officers quickly located the vehicle and conducted a traffic stop. Police said the driver was the sole occupant of the vehicle at the time of the stop.
Following field sobriety tests and a preliminary alcohol screening, officers determined the driver’s blood alcohol concentration measured 0.349%, well above California’s legal limit of 0.08% for drivers. Police said the driver was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail.
In a statement accompanying the incident report, the department thanked the citizens who reported the suspected impaired driver, noting that public vigilance plays an important role in helping keep the community safe.
