Man Arrested After BOLO for Drunk Driver Charge Issued

Floyd County 9-1-1 in northwest Georgia, issued a “be on the lookout” for a possible drunk driver, that was leaving Floyd County – believed to have been traveling to Echols Road in Chattooga County. 

That call came in at around 1:00pm – and it said that the possible drunk driver was driving a white F-150 Ford pickup truck with a toolbox in the back.   A short time later a Chattooga County Sheriff’s Deputy on Highway 48 spotted the vehicle and initiated a traffic stop on Echols Road. 

According to that report the driver had a strong smell of alcohol and told the deputy that he’d had only one beer.  After a field sobriety test, Steven Bullard was arrested and charged with DUI for Alcohol – and was booked into the Chattooga County Jail.
