9:32 p.m. April 25 — An Armstrong County man was allegedly found with suspected drugs and other contraband after he was pulled over for going the wrong way on North Bluff Street. The suspect, James O. Fisher, 61, of Rural Valley, also ended up under arrest on drunken driving charges.

Fisher admitted that he had consumed alcohol before driving, according to court documents. He allegedly failed field sobriety tests and was taken for a breath test, which showed his blood-alcohol level was 0.076 percent.

While the reading was under the state's 0.08 percent legal limit, police still charged him with driving under the influence, accusing him of having enough alcohol to render him “incapable of safely driving,” documents said.

Following his arrest, police said, officers searched him and found a plastic baggie containing suspected crack cocaine. A search of his sport utility vehicle allegedly turned up a mason jar with suspected marijuana, a marijuana grinder, rolling papers and a marijuana pipe.

In addition to DUI, Fisher is charged with possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia, possession of a small amount of marijuana, driving with a suspended license and driving the wrong way on a one-way street.
