On September 14th, Montgomery County Sherriff’s Officer Stach received a call about a reckless driver on Interstate 24. The caller described a black sports utility vehicle (SUV) that was swerving and coming close to colliding with other vehicles on the road. Stach found and observed a vehicle that matched the description cross from the right lane into the left multiple times, so he conducted a traffic stop.
When questioned, the driver Mary Muse, denied drinking or drug use before driving. Muse told Stach that she was just tired and consented to field sobriety tests. Muse performed poorly on the tests and was placed into custody. She also agreed to a blood draw, which was administered at Sango Emergency Room.
Mary Muse was arrested and charged with her first DUI and failure to maintain lane. Her bond was set at $5,000.
