Man arrested for impaired driving
A 41-year-old Dresden man is facing a drunk driving charge after police were called to investigate a report of someone drinking alcohol in a vehicle that was parked outside of a business in Dresden.
Police said the report they got at around 5:30 p.m. Thursday indicated that the man was in the driver's seat as well.
Officers found the man and suspected that he was in "care and control" of his vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, so he was given a roadside test, which he allegedly failed.

He was later released with conditions and a future court date.
