coming from inside the Silverado
and the male Silverado driver
admitted to having consumed "a
few" beers. Ortiz saw inside the
Silverado an empty 12-ounce
Busch beer that was still cold. The
Silverado driver then failed sev-
eral field sobriety tests and tested
a high positive for alcohol on a
field breath test. Ortiz then met
with the male Expedition driver
who said he was traveling north-
bound on 1-75 when the Silverado
changed lanes. He said he tried to
prevent contact with the Silverado
but was unable to avoid getting
hit on the passenger side near
the front bumper due to heavy
traffic congestion. The Expedition
driver said the Silverado drove off
and didn't stop. He said he then
followed the Silverado until Ortiz
stopped it. The Silverado driver's
sons told Ortiz their father was
headed northbound on 1-75 when
he tried to change lanes and hit
the Expedition. The Silverado
driver's sons said their father was
driving erratically and unable to
maintain his lane. Ortiz then took

roe County Jail, where he was also
charged with DUI (refusal) and
an open container violation.
