Officer Tetsworth reported, “We got behind the vehicle, and began to follow it. While traveling down the road the vehicle left its lane 3 times, touching the fog lines. [I] then activated the blue lights of my patrol vehicle, and initiated a traffic stop.” Officers then made contact with the driver Jonathan W Sprayberry, 54, of Rome. Sprayberry immediately said that he had not been drinking. While speaking to Sprayberry officers observed that he had drooping eyelids, and glassy eyes.
