Thursday — Jeffrey J. Chittester, 42, of Winfield Township was charged with being more than three times the state’s legal limit for alcohol stemming from a traffic stop last month at Route 356 and Winfield Road in Winfield Township.

Police said they stopped Chittester shortly after 11 p.m. May 17 after he made a left turn in front of a trooper’s cruiser, causing the officer to “slam on (his) brakes” and nearly hit the defendant’s pickup truck.

The trooper activated his emergency lights and siren, according to court documents, and eventually came upon Chittester, who had pulled into his driveway.

The defendant allegedly admitted to having had eight alcoholic drinks at a bar in Sarver. He failed field sobriety tests and was taken for a breath test, which showed his blood-alcohol level was 0.263 percent. In Pennsylvania, a level of 0.08 percent is considered intoxicated.

In addition to driving under the influence, Chittester is charged with making an improper left turn and careless driving.
