INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A Pike County man spent the night in jail after he was pulled over for driving a tractor while intoxicated.
Around 9:30 p.m. Thursday, a state trooper stopped the driver of a John Deere tractor pulling a yard trailer on Fourth Street in Petersburg for disregarding a stop sign and for not having taillights on the trailer, Indiana State Police said Friday.
State police say the driver, identified as 40-year-old Joshua Brames, of Petersburg, appeared to be intoxicated but refused field sobriety tests.
Brames then stepped off the tractor and ran away. The trooper caught up with Brames, who “continued to be uncooperative and refused to submit to a chemical test,” state police said in a release Friday.
He was arrested and taken to the Pike County Jail, where he was being held on bond Friday morning.
Brames faces preliminary charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated and resisting arrest.
