Description
The State's evidence shows the following facts: About 9:45 p.m. on 9 January 1965 in the city of Goldsboro defendant drove an automobile out of Slaughter Street and proceeded east on Elm Street at a speed of 50 miles an hour, with his automobile going back and forth across the street. He ran three automobiles meeting him off the street. He ran through a stop sign and a red traffic light. Two police officers of the city of Goldsboro, who were riding in a police car, followed him with their siren blowing, but he did not stop until he reached a service station ten or twelve blocks from where the officers first sounded the siren. The officers went to his automobile, opened the door, and asked him to get out. He did so, took two or three steps, fell up against the side of his automobile and propped himself up. His eyes were very red, he had a very strong odor of intoxicating liquor on his breath, his speech was ""slurry,"" and he could not walk ""under his own power."" In the back seat of his car were several empty beer cans. In the opinion of the two officers, he was under the influence of intoxicating liquor. The officers arrested him, helped him to walk to their car, carried him to the city hall, and booked him for driving an automobile on a public street in the city of Goldsboro while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs.
