According to a Dalton Police Department incident report, On January 27th, 2023, at 11:44 PM, dispatch advised officers of a BOLO in regards to a possibly intoxicated driver. Officer McDaniel was actually in the area of the same intersection and advised dispatch to keep the caller on the phone. Eventually, Officer McDaniel managed to get behind the BOLO vehicle at the intersection of Elm Street and Underwood Street. The driver came to a full stop inside the parking lot of the “Parkside place apartments” located on Underwood Street. While pulling in, the driver cut the corner too sharply and jumped the curb leading to the complex.
Officer McDaniel then made contact with the driver, identified as Ashley Lynn Moyer, 34, of Dalton. She informed the officer that she didn’t have her license on her person but identified herself. Officer McDaniel reported, “While speaking to Ashley, she stated that “I haven’t drunk nothing all night”. [I] then asked her why someone may have called and provided the BOLO on her vehicle. She believed that her ex-boyfriend had possibly called 911 that night because he “gets mad at her”. While speaking to Ashley, [I] detected that her speech seemed slurred. As she exited the vehicle, [I] saw that she was unsteady on her feet. Now that she was standing out in the open air, [I] could also see the strong odor of alcoholic beverages coming from her breath.” During field sobriety testing, Ashley showed several signs of impairment and a BAC of .220 on a PBT. Ashley was placed under arrest and agreed to the state test. Ashley was transported to the Whitfield County Jail, where she showed a BAC of .202. Ashley was charged with DUI with alcohol .08 GM or more and driving without a license on person.
