Donnie P. Womack, 48, of the 800 block of Evergreen School Road in Minden, was arrested for driving while intoxicated (first offense) and stop sign. Bond was set at $1,250.
According to reports, Deputies Terry Brown and Coby Barton conducted a traffic stop at the intersection of Highway 802 and Smith Loop. When the deputies approached Womack, he appeared to have red, watery eyes and they smelled a strong odor of what they believed to be alcohol coming from his person.
When asked if he’d been drinking, Womack reportedly told the deputies he drank five beers.
A field sobriety test was conducted, and he performed poorly, according to reports.
Womack was placed under arrest and taken to the Springhill Police Department to give a breath test. Deputies say he gave a proper sample, and his blood alcohol content was reported at .139 percent. The legal limit is .08.
He was later transported to Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Center for booking.
