The trooper observed the tractor trailer exit from southbound I-35 at the 61-mile marker in Daviess County. As the vehicle merged from the right lane of southbound I-35 to the exit ramp, it traveled off the left portion of the roadway and onto the inside shoulder of the exit ramp. The front left marker light had also fallen from the housing and into the grill portion of the vehicle.
Trooper Neely conducted a traffic stop at the Viking Truck Stop. After several field sobriety tests, Negrete was placed under arrest for driving while intoxicated. He was transferred to DDCRJ with $2,500 cash bond which he later posted. Negrete’s criminal history shows that he was convicted of DWI in Texas in 2013.
