An officer on patrol observed a vehicle driving on North Front Street without proper headlights around 8:30 p.m. Saturday.

After stopping the vehicle and checking the male driver, it was found he had consumed alcohol.

Following an investigation, the male was arrested and charged with Over 80 mgs (driving with more than the legal limit of alcohol in his blood)
