(La Porte County, IN) - Police are still out in greater numbers to try and keep travelers as safe as possible during the holidays.

 

For example, a drunk driving arrest was made involving a driver who was zig-zagging his way down a Michigan City area highway early on Tuesday.

 

36-year-old Jamar Beach was taken into custody.

 

Beach nearly veered westbound in the eastbound lanes of U.S. 20 before stopping and correcting his direction. Upon resuming his travels, he was weaving back and forth in his travel lane before crossing over the white fog line on several occasions near Indiana 212.

 

At one point, police said, the Michigan City man reached 72 miles per hour in a 45-mile-per-hour zone prior to being stopped. Beach allegedly explained that he had a vodka and lemonade about five hours before being pulled over.
