On Tuesday at 11:28 pm, Officer Heather Sowders responded to the 1300 block of Prairie Lea to assist police officers with a traffic stop involving an intoxicated person.

The officers followed the vehicle, which began to swerve from side to side on Prairie Lea and initiated a traffic stop.

The officers said they had already located an open bottle of liquor under the driver’s seat. Sowders performed a field sobriety test which the driver was unable to complete.

The driver, twenty-six year old Ryan Scott Krueger of Brenham, showed two previous convictions for driving while intoxicated.

Krueger was charged with DWI, Third Offense.

At the jail, Rios admitted to falsely giving his brother’s name at the time of the traffic stop.
