Crime: Arrrrr you driving drunk, sir?
Placeholder Image
A Covington man was arrested early Sunday morning after reportedly drinking and driving on Ga. Highway 36. A deputy with the Newton County Sheriff's Office first noticed 34-year-old Jeramy Keith Knight crossing the fog line over a bridge at the Yellow River, nearly striking the concrete barrier several times. When they stopped him, reports indicate Knight was "moving very sluggish and could not hold his head still," and that "his eyes were glassy and bloodshot and I could smell the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his person."
