Cheyenne Man Charged With 4th DUI After Reportedly Blowing .093

A 59-year-old Cheyenne man is facing a felony charge after he was reportedly, once again, caught driving under the influence.

According to a booking sheet, a Wyoming Highway Patrol trooper was patrolling on northbound Business Interstate 25 in Cheyenne at 12:03 a.m. on Monday when he spotted a red SUV with its right brake light out.

The trooper says the driver, later identified as David Clark Jones, then turned left onto East Lincolnway, failing to use his turn signal until he was halfway through the intersection.

Jones was subsequently stopped at the intersection of West Lincolnway and Capitol Avenue and reportedly told the trooper that he knew the right brake light was not working.

The trooper says when he requested Jones' driver's license and vehicle information, he "smelled the strong odor of a flavored alcoholic coming from the open window."

He says Jones' eyes were bloodshot and his speech was slurred, and once Jones was inside his patrol vehicle, he confirmed the odor of alcohol to be on Jones' breath.

Jones reportedly agreed to standardized field sobriety tests and admitted to drinking three alcoholic beverages, and once the tests were complete, agreed that he shouldn't be driving.

Jones was placed under arrest for DUI and reportedly agreed to a chemical breath test, which was conducted at 1:08 a.m.

His first breath sample reportedly showed a blood alcohol concentration of .093% and his second sample showed a BAC of .100%.

When the trooper checked Jones' driver's license, he discovered that Jones had three other DUI convictions, one in August 2016, one in August 2017, and one in May 2018.

Jones was booked into the Laramie County Detention Center and subsequently charged with fourth offense DUI, a felony.

Jones made his initial appearance in Laramie County Circuit Court on Tuesday morning, during which his bond was set at $7,500 cash and his preliminary hearing was scheduled for Aug. 7 at 1:30 p.m.

All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
