On 5/08/24, Mt. Carmel Police arrested Austin E. Smith, age 24, of Weatherford, Texas for Speeding, Reckless Driving and Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol following a traffic stop on a gray 2023 Dodge in the 1400 block of College Drive. The stop was a result of the Dodge driving through the residential area of the 1100 block of N Market at a high rate of speed during a heavy downpour of rain. During the stop, the officer had suspicion that Smith was intoxicated so a roadside sobriety check was conducted in a dry location nearby. During the check, the officer noted several clues to indicate impairment from alcohol. Smith was placed into custody and transported to the Wabash County Jail where he was processed for DUI before being turned over to jail staff for further processing. Smith was later released on a Notice to Appear.
