Blown Tires Led to DWI Arrest

LUFKIN — A Lufkin man was arrested on a drunken driving charge early Monday morning at Woodland Heights Medical Center after a minor accident left him stranded. Brandon McAdams, 31, was driving along Loop 287 when he hit a curb and blew out two tires around 12:10. When an officer approached McAdams and asked for his driver’s license, the officer noted that McAdams was so intoxicated he couldn’t pull his driver’s license out of his wallet, according to an arrest report. He then admitted to the officer he was drunk and subsequently failed a field sobriety test. McAdams then agreed to an Intoxilyzer test and blew a .260 on his second attempt, three times the legal limit. McAdams was arrested and taken to jail on a DWI charge. He was released the same day on a $1,500 bond.
