DUI: Michael Lamb attempts to remove his license plate after crashing into utility pole

35-year-old Michael Lamb was arrested for driving under the influence after being involved in a car accident on Higdon Road on July 11th. When officers arrived at the scene, they spoke with Lamb. Officers then immediately noticed the smell of alcohol coming from his breath. Officers also observed Lamb’s unsteadiness on his feet, watery eyes, and slurred speech. Lamb was taken into custody as officers suspected him of being intoxicated. While in custody, Lamb explained that his front bumper had fallen off, causing him to spin and crash into a mailbox, ultimately hitting a utility pole. Witnesses of the crash informed officers that they saw Lamb attempting to remove his license plate to conceal it before the officers arrived. Upon searching Lamb’s vehicle, officers found several open small jars of moonshine and detected the smell of alcohol. Lamb refused to perform sobriety tests as well as the implied consent. Officers also discovered that Lamb did not have a valid driver’s license due to a prior DUI conviction. As a result, Lamb was charged with DUI and driving without a license on July 12th.
