12:11 a.m. Monday — Joseph T. Bailie IV, 40, of Butler was arrested for being more than 3½ times the state’s legal limit for alcohol when he was stopped on Clinton Avenue for failing to clean the snow off his license plate.

Police noted that the pickup truck’s plate number was obstructed by snow, despite the weather being clear and no snowfall overnight.

Because of the icy conditions, police took Bailie back to the station to perform field sobriety tests. He badly failed one test, according to court documents, and told officers that he did not want to continue.

A breath test showed his blood-alcohol level was 0.298 percent. In Pennsylvania, a level of 0.08 percent is considered intoxicated.

A subsequent inventory search of the truck, documents said, turned up suspected marijuana in the center console and a marijuana pipe on the passenger seat.

Bailie was arraigned on charges of driving under the influence, possession of a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, driving with a suspended license while his blood-alcohol level was 0.02 percent or greater and driving with an obstructed license plate.

He was released on his own recognizance following arraignment.

The defendant admitted he snatched the victim’s hair, documents said, and “took her to the ground.”

He was arraigned on a charge of simple assault and placed in the Butler County Prison on $10,000 bail.
