Charles Schultz, 20, of Indianapolis, was pulled over at about 4 a.m. Aug. 25 on 46 East near Fair Oaks Trail. Indiana State Police Trooper Matthew Hatchett reported that Schultz smelled of alcohol and that he could see containers in his vehicle; and that his speech was slurred, his eyes were red and watery, and his shorts were unbuttoned and around his ankles.
Schultz’s blood-alcohol content measured 0.205 at the scene and 0.194 a half-hour later at the sheriff’s department, the report said. The legal limit is 0.08.
He was charged with three-alcohol related misdemeanors and reckless driving, also a misdemeanor, on Aug. 28.
