A school bus driver reporting a truck driving dangerously in the 8800 block of Anneta Road on Friday afternoon resulted in the arrest of a Leitchfield man for driving under the influence.
Friday afternoon at approximately 4:30, the school bus driver notified Grayson County Dispatch that a white truck, being driven by 63-year-old Charles Kiper, was driving recklessly, nearly hitting other vehicles head-on, as it traveled north on Anneta Road. Constable Mark Stanton, who was already in the area, made contact with the vehicle and followed the truck as he observed Kiper swerving recklessly all over the roadway.
A traffic stop was executed by Stanton in the 1300 block of Anneta Road, with Leitchfield Police Department Sgt. Robert Jackson and Officer Adam Cottrell arriving within seconds of the stop.
Kiper was given a field sobriety test and arrested. He was charged with DUI and reckless driving and lodged in the Grayson County Detention Center.
