Trooper Thomas Bayless stated in his report that, "Mr. Lawson was involved in a crash. He had an odor of an alcoholic beverage on his person. He was unsteady on his feet and stated he had two. He would not follow my finger, walked and turned, stopped off the line and raised his arms and stopped. He did not finish the task, did not attempt one leg stand. I placed him under arrest and he refused a blood test. I obtained a search warrant for his blood."

Mr. Lawson was charged with DUI, first offense, and violation of the due care law.
