37-year-old Realtor Latoria Marshall was caught driving under the influence near Old Matthews Road on May 25th. Officers got behind her vehicle and observed her cross numerous lines, as well as being fully in the oncoming lane for 2-3 seconds. Proceeding this, officers initiated a traffic stop where they observed Marshall as the vehicle’s only occupant. Authorities noticed a Corona Extra beer can in the center console while speaking with Marshall. Officers then asked Marshall numerous times if she had consumed any alcohol, but initially, she would not provide an answer. When officers asked again, Marshall admitted that she had consumed one beer. Officers then asked if she would exit the vehicle to perform sobriety tests as they detected the smell of alcohol on her breath. Marshall agreed to perform the test but showed numerous indicators of intoxication. Marshall was detained for DUI, and as officers searched her vehicle, they found a bag of a green substance believed to be marijuana weighing 12.3 grams. Marshall was taken into custody for DUI and an open container of alcohol on May 26th.
