Ladyville Man Charged for DUI After Ignoring Police Checkpoint

A 27-year-old Ladyville man is out on bail tonight after being charged for drunk driving. At three o’clock this morning, police were at an accident scene between miles 5 and 6 when they saw 27-year-old Dylan Vasquez drove a red 2012 Cadillac SRT-SUV through a vehicle checkpoint. Officers noticed signs of impairment, including slurred speech and the smell of alcohol on his breath. Vasquez was detained and taken to court.  He was charged with driving with an alcohol concentration above the prescribed limit. However, a magistrate declined to accept a plea, stating a not guilty plea would not be entered until lab results confirm the alcohol concentration. Vasquez was offered and met bail of $1,500 plus one surety of the same amount. He was unrepresented in court.
