Atoka Police Officer Jedediah Griffith observed a man walking in the center lane of northbound Highway 69 on Saturday, May 30, 2020.
The man continued across the Highway and traveled behind the Apostolic Truth Tabernacle.
Officer Griffith made contact with the man, Ryan McInich, 21, of Lehigh, who was noticeably sweating. McInich had dilated pupils and was unable to control his body movements.
When asked if he had taken any intoxicating substances, McInich stated he had slept outside the previous night in Tushka.
