(La Porte County, IN) - A driver stopped by La Porte County Police last evening for traveling twice the speed limit on U.S. 20 and committing other traffic violations was arrested for allegedly being impaired.
Ryan Korn, 36, is charged with operating while intoxicated. Police said Korn was clocked at 110 miles per hour on U.S. 20 near Fail Road. The officer with the radar gun conducted a U-turn and while trying to catch up the vehicle began switching lanes without its turn signal flashing and tailgating.
Police said the driver also rapidly and repeatedly turned his headlights off and on.
During a traffic stop, police said Korn with an odor of alcohol on his breath revealed he recently moved to the area from Mississippi and insisted he wasn’t drunk. He refused to submit to a certified blood alcohol test, though, which resulted in his automatic arrest for operating while intoxicated, police said.
